Alright, well I ordered a JBL amp, and two 10" JBL 250-Watt, 2-ohm Dual Voice Coil subs.

At first, FedEx said they'd both be there Thursday... Then the next day it said the Subs would get there Friday... which is fine, whatever... Friday comes and it never showed up. So, I call them today and they say they lost it. I call a friend, the one who ordered them for me, and they told him they misplaced it in Central Florida, and it should be there either tomorrow or the next day, so let's cross our fingers.

But, I was thinking about adding stuff to it, and I thought I'd ask you guys for your opinion and, well, of course, help.


I was thinking about getting a set of JBL P25T 1" Pure Titanium Dome Tweeter, and a set of JBL P953 6" x 9" 3-Way Loudspeaker.

Gave you the part number incase you wanted to look at them.

The Tweeters are 60-Watts a piece [120-Watts], and the 6" x 9" are 110-Watts a piece [340 Watts]

My amp I have now is 520-Watt. The Subs are 250 a piece, thus I have 20 extra watts. Obviously I need a new sub, so I was thinking about getting a JBL GTO75.2 II [260-Watt 2-Channel Amp] and using that to power the 6" x 9"s, and then run the tweeters off my head.

Which comes the next problem/idea. [I have a SN95 BTW] I was gunna cut out the middle portion where the Radio/AC Control is, put the AC control where the CD player is, put a 7" touch screen on that whole section. Then make it into a carPC, so I dunno if I could run tweeters off the CarPC? But, that'll cost a lot of money, so it'll have to wait. But, as for the Tweeters, can I run them off the stock head? Or do I need to get a new head?


And I'm getting all JBL 'cause it sounds nice, and I gots me a connection

Anyway, I feel like bragging about my amp, so here's a pic!


EDIT:: When I get the subs, I'm making a custom box, and mounting it in my trunk facing the rear seats, it's gunna look really good, I hope. When I'm done I'll post pictures. [sm=happybounce.gif]
I can't wait.

Don't cut your dash! Just pick up one from an '01 and up car with the double din opening. And I like JBL's home equipment, but their car stuff is ok. The subs and amps have more going for them than the speakers IMO.

Whatever you don, don't buy 6x9's to power with an amp.

Buy yourself a set of components (Anywhere between $100 and $1000, we can make suggestion depending on budget) and power your front components.

Components have tweeters, mids and crossovers and will sound way better then the setup you mentioned.

Well, I can't spend like upwards of like $1K, but I don't want cheap stuff. I was gunna pay about $350 for that JBL stuff. I just want the sound system to sound extremely clean.


EDIT:: I was looking on the internet and I found this: Link


Is that any good?

EDIT#2:: The 6 1/2" system
Any help/pointers is appreciated

Idont understand why you guys insist on crutchfield, your local shop is alot better..
the volfenhaug,digital audio,ma audio,audiobahn lower end component systems are great for the price.
do not put together a system by using the products "peak power" rating. JBL subs at lower end are just cosmetic compared to other brands at the same price.

Cruthfield is good to use for checking things out and so forth, but as far as their pricing and all that local shops/Best Buy even are similiar in pricing.

You can find much better components for $200 than those. Im pretty sure you said you are getting you JBL through someone else though.

Yeah, but the other source didn't have any component systems. Just subs, amps, and speakers... and 2 sets of tweeters.

But, I don't get the point of getting a component system except for the "Crossover."

With the other source, I can get the higher-end tweeters for $51 bucks, where as I get tweeters, crossovers and subs [Which I'm never gunna use] for $200 bucks.

And again, Link I can get that for $183.25... but the only thing that I'm actually using is the crossover and tweeter. So, WTH? I could just buy a pair of tweeters and a pair of crossovers. :\

seight311

So your using a set of coaxials with an extra tweeter, instead of a full on component set why??? [&:]

Seriously. I have heard components that blow coaxials out of the water. I cannot wait to get a set of eD comps or CDTs to fill my front stage when I decide to replace the ****ty stock speakers.

Haha, Seight311, I have no clue about this stuff. I'm new in the audio world. I'm just tryin' to play a money game.
I look up Component Systems and what they have, 2 Tweeters, 2 Subs, and 2 Crossovers.

I just see 2 tweeters, and 2 Crossovers I'm gunna use and a set of Subs I'm not.

But, am I supposed to put the component subs to replace my stock speakers?

Eh, I really don't get it. :\

Sorry for my incompetance, but do you mind explaining it for me? <3
