johnny g Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Just booked the Supra in today ... 24th April, goes in for: Alpine CDA-9887R (iPod and Bluetooth enabled) Planet Audio 6.5" Front Speakers Planet Audio 6"x9" Rear Speakers Planet Audio 4x300W "Big Bang" Digital Amp Clifford Concept 650 Alarm with anti-hijack, autostart and full closure. Car's also getting sound deadening in the doors and rear speakers. Won't have the bass thump that my MR2 has, but will certainly be a shitesight better than it is now - and won't sacrifice any of the boot with a sub install... As you can tell, I'm into my Planet Audio stuff ... it's all their stuff in the MR2. Should sound pretty decent, I hope - the headunit has the ability to sound-stage. Quite impressed in their demo vehicle with the Sub switched off. Was quite bass-y to say there was no sub. Quality was top notch. Install is getting done by K&M Acoustics in Wigan. This will be the 3rd car they've done for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i prefer engine noise, but well done should be a good setup;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 Yep. I always go with what they recommend - coming in at a smidge under £2k fitted for the whole lot, so I can't complain at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 ditch the 6x9, only wasting money there and degrading sound quality all your dooing is adding more volume and rear fill, would sound allot better and you would have plenty volume and power on the front comps, then get you rear fill and bass by putting a 10" sub in the back.

Today I have applied some dynamat to the bottom part of my back bumper, that's where a lot of vibration was coming from on mine! You can do this without taking the bumper off. It has definitely improved the rattling no end! So worth doing if you've got problems. All I need to work out now is how to stop my spoiler vibrating!

I agree, if you rely on 6x9's for ultimate volume - but I'm not, they're there to add a little of balance. At the end of the day, K&M have won more awards for ICE installs than I can care to count and have kitted out my cars before and have always sounded superb with no distortion. So I'll leave it to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going around Europe this summer in the car, so I don't want to lose the boot with a sub when I need 3 weeks worth of clothes in it Maybe in the future.
