Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 So figured next Month I'd take a brake from spending lots on the Zed So want to change the audio setup. As the Title suggests, which is better or do you prefer? I'm not after Coax's full of bass as I have a 12" 3000w sub going in. Looking for a Nice clear crisp speaker. http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/full-range/6-5-inch-coax-17cm/focal-performance-pc165 http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-hi-energy-hcx-165-4 http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-energy-ecx-165-5 Was looking at these. Reading through a few posts I'm under the impression to just got Coax all round? Or do I need components/Tweets up front? Will then be going 4 Channel AMP as well. Cheers Quote
StevoD Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Wait BGW wide track wheels working towards track driving now fill it up with speakers Edited June 5, 2014 by StevoD 2 Quote
Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 I know, But I enjoy my music a lot, and the bose is getting to a point of pissing me of with how crap it is, plus the sub cuts out every now and then Quote
Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 *break God damn it, that's because I've been talking about Brakes a lot recently and trying so hard no to say break! 1 Quote
Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Right come on everyone, get your meme's, jokes, MPSS comments, religion, politics....all that convo out the way, so we can hurry up and go back the OP Quote
StevoD Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) for me it would be Hertz Hi-Energy HCX 165.4 Right come on everyone, get your meme's, jokes, MPSS comments, religion, politics....all that convo out the way, so we can hurry up and go back the OP Edited June 5, 2014 by StevoD 1 Quote

coldel Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I bought these little chaps for my VX http://www.caraudiod...egration-isc165 not the ones you listed, different car (which is renowned for not being the most acoustic) but the sound quality was excellent. I actually had some JL speakers in before those, one went bang so replaced with Focal and have to say preferred the Focal over JL. Never tried Hertz except when renting a car.

Wasso Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hertz owned by Morel (Morel in the process of going in my car). Focal are highly rated also. Both manufacturers would be a good investment. Here's my Morel speakers going in. Along with many other bits which I'll update in my thread later. Quote
Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Does look tasty Wasso! Should I go Components up front? I.e. Including Tweets.... Or go all 4 Coax;s all round? Quote
Wasso Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I'd go components just for the fact of staging. But it all depends on what you use the car for, if it includes daily driving I'd go components. If not go coaxial. Wait till you see how far the audio will go in my zed Quote
Grundy Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Be tempted to go with this setup then... Fronts http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/component-systems/6-5-inch-comp-17cm/hertz-energy-esk-165-5 Rears These are cheaper and I like the look of these better http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/full-range/6-5-inch-coax-17cm/hertz-energy-ecx-165-5 Or these http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/full-range/6-5-inch-coax-17cm/hertz-hi-energy-hcx-165-4 Just need a Amp now. Does a 4 Channel still work with the components? Quote
un1eash Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Yes you can run components of 2 channels. Are you going for a sub also? I would definitely go for components up front. The oem speaker grill covers about a third of the speaker in the door so a separate tweeter will work better. Edited June 5, 2014 by un1eash Quote
parello9 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 you cant run components up front, coax in back and a sub from a 4 channel amp i dont think? Quote

spursmaddave Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I had Hertz in my Zed, they were fantastic I would say components up front, coax rear and sub that will be a huge step up from the bose Sent from the golf club... Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Make sure you check the size of speakers that will fit, you don't want to get ones that are too big Sent from the golf club... 1 Quote
un1eash Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 you cant run components up front, coax in back and a sub from a 4 channel amp i dont think? As I'm a believer of not upgrading the rears if I were to do them I'd run them of the headunit then you could use 2 channels bridged for the sub. You could go with 2 amps but depends on budget. Quote
Grundy Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Okay....This is my planned setup... Rears - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-hi-energy-hcx-165-4 Fronts - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/component-systems/6-5-inch-comp-17cm/hertz-energy-esk-165-5 4 Chan AMP - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/amplifiers/multi-channel-amps/pioneer-gm-d8604-4-channel-1200w-class-d-car-amp I already have a 12" Sub, with a Seperate AMP for the Sub. How does that Setup look? Are there any issue, Is running 2 Amps an issue? Quote
un1eash Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Personally I really wouldn't spend that much on the rears and put the money towards a better amp. I ran 2 amps fine in the 350Z, my celica is struggling with the same setup though, either the battery or alternator is struggling. How about sticking with Hertz and something like this... http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/amplifiers/multi-channel-amps/hertz-hcp-4 Edited June 6, 2014 by un1eash Quote

Sorry, just Amps is my weakness in knowledge when it comes to creating an audio setup Edited June 6, 2014 by grundy225 Quote
