Wow, thats a lot of mismatched stuff. From personal experience, the more equipment you get from one company, the better it sounds.

Most importantly the speakers. Each company's lines have their own unique sound. Having one company in front and another in the back will really warp the full sound.

Thats just my opinion. Looks nice though.

xspyder85x

yeah i agree but ive heard this setup before and it sounds really good. a lot of it comes from the crossovers on the amp

lorenwade

It may sound amazing... but like I said, I speak from experience. Especially speakers. I've heard tons of setups and having different company speakers is a big nono.

xspyder85x

yeah, i may go with the kicker 6x9s soon, i did want to get rid of the kenwoods, they have been faithfull to me. when i get the money i was going to change them

lorenwade

You'll be more happy with the kickers all around, guaranteed. Plus, I hate Kenwood's sound.

xspyder85x

ha ha yeah i did want kicker all around. whats your opinion on polk. never owned polk before

Sempher55

polk audio is ok.. honestly kicker makes some great **** for cheaper prices... If ur on a budget, then i would get kicker. I had them in my cobalt. i would put them in my sti... but i had to get 6.5's instead. Great head unit. poineer makes the best in my opinion.

xspyder85x

oh yes pioneer is great for headunits. i wanna try alpine one of thess days though.

Sempher55

ie used alpine... i had the crappyone with the touch slider thing. its ok. i think they are very plain looking... they all look the same. Some of their features are awsome, but thats about it.

xspyder85x

oh well i guess ill stick to pioneer

niknyce

Ive never heard any setups that werent good because they had 2 different brand speakers in them...

kuhockey29

i can see where he is coming from, i had kenwoods in my old car all around, 98 eagle talon. I have Polk all the way around now, and they sound great. highly recomended

ALL audio companies test and tune their equipment with their own stuff. If you look at pioneer, mtx, jl, earthquake, kicker, etc., competition vehicles they all use as much of their own equipment as possible.

I figure that we have pioneer and that I should just upgrade. Here is what I'm planning:

DEH-P880PRS
Premier In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/WAV Receiver with White Organic EL Display

TS-D901P
Premier 6" x 9" REV-series 2-Way Speaker with 350 Watts Max. Power

TS-C160R
6 1/2" REV Component Speaker Package with 250 Watts Max. Power

TS-W5102SPL
PremierŽ 12" Competition SPL Component Subwoofer

PRS-D5000SPL
Premier Competition SPL Digital Mono Amplifier with 3000 Watts Max. Power

PRS-D4000F
Premier PRS-Series 4-Channel Full-Range Class FD Amplifier with 1200 Watt Max. Power



Good luck with yours though

xspyder85x

wow thats a lot of expensive stuff, the Premier series is great

TWIZTED 2.2

im happy with the pioneer system that came in my Fully Loaded LT

M88ArRamadi

actually if you shop around....you can get it for really cheap! appx $1800

xspyder85x

too steep for me, id rather have rims and a body kit for that. but maybe i will have it one day

Whatever any of you do, stay away from audiobahn, seen to many people fall victim to the cheap stuff, even their most expensive has bad quality, it may be loud, but quality is a big thumbs down...

lorenwade

Its not about if their setup is "good" or not. Its totally about sound quality. Like I said before, it may sound good, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be better with the same company speakers all the way around.

Coming from an audiophile, stick with the same company.

Audiobahn amps are easy to get into and replace internal components. And for good reason.
