Dynamat is your friend.
300 will get you a decent set of 6x9s and and amp - dont bother with the sub anless your wanting lot of bass

Dynamat? that is a make no? how cum people dont put big-ass P.A equipment in cars? is it purely because P.A works off 240 volts and cars are only 12 volts? coz that would be bloody loud! well i'll av2 look in2 sum shops bt theres very little 2 choose from.

**pgarner** · 28-09-2008, 02:57 PM

dynamat is a make - but not of speakers, its a sound deadaning material (stops rattleing )
you can run PA speakers in your car and connect them up to an car amp but they wont sound to great.

again i doubt i will be able 2 buy the dynamite stuff ill have a good look round lol ide have to put a hell of a car amp to power my P.A speakers they are peavy black widow hi/sys about 700 watts.
well now i just got to save up sum cash lol
cheerz 4 all ya advice!

for best performance an amp is neeeded.

**DETHTATS** · 03-10-2008, 02:58 AM

They make amps that will push well above 700 watts, but they can get a little expensive for the better quality ones!

**pgarner** · 03-10-2008, 08:36 AM

And when your getting to that sort of Power your PA speakers will sound pretty pants if there the normal paper cones

**DETHTATS** · 03-10-2008, 08:53 AM

This is very true! Forgot most PA are made of paper. I havent had much dealings with PA speakers, sorry! Had my fair share of car subs, but none than big! I guess the biggest I have ever seen in person was a 32 inch. But it was in a shop under glass and not hooked up! Mostly all I have dealt with is up to 12's and 15's. Love my bass!!!

Peavey Black Widows are stunning drivers. PA cabs usually use paper cones because they're light and therefore efficient.

And they will stand a true 700 watts RMS across the whole useable bandwidth (up to about 2kHz) all night.

Not many car amplifiers will ever deliver 700 watts in that way.

ah also i try to install my pioneers in the back where there are already standard crappy speakers i took them out wired up the new one's an they just crunched and distorted at very low volume and so i tryed them in the front and they sounded well good so what could that be loose speaker cables? the speaker conectors are in good condition maybe it could be the conectors at the back of the head unit? hopefully all it needs is some new speaker cable.

***HDi fun*** · 05-10-2008, 07:16 PM

Good connections are essential. What are you driving them with?

**addaboss** · 07-10-2008, 06:27 PM

its ok me an my old man fixed it the bloke who installed my head unit had put 2 channel cables in2 one single cable or something and were kind of canceling eachother out but nw its fine lol and i also just found out nominal power and power, i woz worried i woz putting too much power through my head by powering my 130 watt door speakers but there acctual power is like 25watts nominal lol i no im onli an amature. so my 52x4 can power alot more than i thorght!!

***HDi fun*** · 07-10-2008, 07:34 PM

Underpowered amplifiers will quickly wreck crossovers and HF drivers if you run the amplifier into its clipping range. This is when the output voltage swing hits one of the supply rails and squares off the top (or bottom) of the waveform.

**addaboss** · 12-10-2008, 05:37 PM

where is a gd place 2 put a set of 6x9's i know on the parcel shelf but its a bit flimsy and also its plastic lol so im not sure is there really anywhere else to mount them i guess without starting to customise thats really the best place no on the shelf.

**pgarner** · 12-10-2008, 05:49 PM

beef up your parcel shelf using some mdf
