Hey guys,

Getting rid of the soarer and importing an evo 7 so ive started to do a little research on the system i want to put in

so far im looking at:

HU: pioneer avh p6850

Fronts: boston z6's

Rears: was THINKING of boston pro60's but have nfi how thats going to sound with the z6's

subs: 2 12" g5s - open to opinions here, right now i have a pioneer 5000spl which i really like so something with the same sort of power and sound will be optimum

amps: this is where i need the most advice, should i get 2 2channel amps for the splits or a good 4 channel, also what mono do people reccomend with the subs?



Finally i had a quick question about carputers, what sort of sound quality do you get out of them? in terms of power and sound do they measure up to conventional systems?

thanks for any advice

there's a JL Audio 1000/1 monoblock for sale $800 in the FS forum. Awesome amp, heaps of power (over 1kW RMS all day).

get a good 2 channel amp for the splits.

carputers often don't have good SQ unless you really set them up with good quality sound card, or use an external DAC. If you're only playing MP3's then you won't need anything top-shelf.
