Robsta Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 My car only has speakers in the front and I want to put some in the backMaybe a small woofer as wellWhat's a good brand for a small budget?Don't need to be amazing just something clean soundingBuying online? Quote
SolDios Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Jaycar sell some awesome 6" speakers, amazing sound, and there cheap ($60)As for subs, id probably recomend the kicker 105w package, 1 kicker 105w rms sub + amp for $315 from jb.My friend has it and it sounds great! Quote
Mitch Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Don't get jaycar speakers. Go at least get a half reputable brand from a store. Alpine and pio are good Quote
MelodyIlliterate Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 problem with putting speakers in the back is where your going to put them.. either custom boxes, custom door, or cut through your boot... what do you drive? Quote
Jaz Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 brands that will pump and that will last you, pioneer make the best head units, for speakers you want kenwood or pioneer on an average budget, clarion make great amps and subs, had mine for 5 years and still going strongdo not, i repeat, do not get rampage amps, or fusion amps/subsif you really wanna fork out some dosh go with alpine, expensive but good Quote
Mitch Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I'll take my alpine head unit over a pio one any day. Paid nearly 500 but worth it. Bluetooth integration for hands free phone, USB/aux inputs, and just general awesomeness Quote
LabRat Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Sony and some soundstream would be best on a budget. Some soundstream stuff is cheap but I'd go Sony. Go to supercheap or something Quote
Robsta Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I updated the stereo unit a while agoJust the speakers for the moment Quote
SolDios Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Seriously though, I highly recommend the kicker sub.It's got a great punchy driver, and it's fairly cheap too! Quote
Jaz Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Supercheap and autobahn often do package deals like 2 12' subs, sub box, and amp for like $400-$500normal speakers are cheap as, only like $100 for some decent pioneers Personally I recommend Autobahn, they actually know what they are talking about when u walk in there ,.unlike the high school kids super cheap hires Quote
Lurk6r Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 If your cutting into the boot then make sure you get subs designed to work with that air volume. Quote
anditz Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 ok so i used to do car audio when i was a wee lad.dont waste your time with speakers in the back. if you want to spend some money on a small set up this is literally all you'll need.a decent headunit. its more about the sound quality they produce than the customizable features (ive never like pioneer...big fan of kenwood/alpine). get 5-6 inch splits for the front. and a 12 inch sub 300wrms is more than enough (make sure its a 4ohm single voicecoil - its cheaper and you won't need a big fuck off amp). get a 2 channel amp and bridge it at 4 ohms....get some good gain on the amp. on the head unit customise the eq so that there is no bass going to your fronts. but up the mids and treble. send all the low frequency to the sub. on the amp set your low pass filter at around 2000hz and your set. it will sound solid. also you'll benefit more from a ported sub enclosure, because you'll be running such low power. i had something similar to this in my first car, and it sound heaps crisp with solid bass. i had friends who spent a few k on theirs and didn't sound half as good - it's all in the tuning. mine set me back 90 bucks. pm me if you need help Quote
anditz Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 also don't get any sony speakers- they are rubbish.good brands for speakers - jbl, jl, kicker, clarion, mtx, soundstream (subs only)you will only need a single 12 trust me, anything more is over kill (for gangstas who think dey so fly) Quote
anditz Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 and if you're going to get alpine speakers get type r's...type s is a waste of timeSORRY EPIC TRE POST Quote
Gandy Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Clarion are an awesome small-mid budget speakers had them in my previous car Quote

MelodyIlliterate Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 6 months ago i was looking into all this and i do remember northfield car sound having a sick package deal on alpine type r's 10 inch sub and splits for a decent price...not sure if you have northfield where you are... they're some kind of franchise so could be possible..
