you will have to hook them up to you headunit or amp to test them properly. you could also test the impedence with a multimeter but its better to hear them going...

budget?

jafa.and.proud · Post by **jafa.and.proud** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 9:40 am

Yea budget is a biiig factor with components, with being able to spend less than $100 if your thrifty up to $800+ sometimes

For rears try and get some 6" mids as opposed to 6x9s

Some 6.5" Components, Pauls Audio in CHCH are doing a sale on Focal components and will deliver to auckland. Focal make some very very very very good speakers.

In the back a 6.5" mid bass would be all you need, or nothing at all. Just a sub. If ive got my setup in my car before you buy yours you can come have a listen. Ive only got some 6.5" speakers and a tiny 10" sub.

My install has come to a grinding halt though, im awating some tools to cut holes in the firewall :twisted:

Ive seen those Poineer components before and they sound good the speekers have a kevlar cone??

at the moment im not going for an amp, and am going to run them off the head unit, its a VDO dayton CD 2604 MP3x Head unit, it had 55w x 4

Shoud this be enough??

you should see if u can get some PBX's fro parallel if u no anyone from up here $150 and ive heard they r mint for the price. Itll be alrite for the time being but in the long rund ull want an amp

method · Post by **method** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 11:02 am

Running off head unit is ok.

But there really is a huge difference even with a small amp.

How many hudie do you want to make? For $300 you can get those focals, usually $400. Hand made in france and all.

Those pioneer bullet speakers are alright too, and the yellow kevlar ones are alright too, for the price the PBX evos are probably better.
