Well its sounds as if you will be having a nice set-up but persoanlly i would do some small tweaking. I personally wouldnt be using MbQuart speakers. I understant that you using the Q series speakers which are a lot better then the other ones, but for the money you spend on the Q series you can have much better sounding speakers. I perosnally wouldnt go with that set-up, but it will sound good with a proper install. Install is the key into making a sound sytem sound the best.
Opinions on this setup? Thomas? Anyone? Thanks!
Howdy Folks -
I've been a member for sometime now, and have never posted in this section. Thought I'd see what the concensus was on the setup my tuners have installed for me. I should be getting the car back in about 3-5 days (after 6 MONTHS), but had the option to change the stereo if things we're exactly the way I wanted it)
The car, a 94 6-speed Supra has been through some "comprehensive upgrades" - single conversion, big AP 6-piston brakes, custom polished M5's, rollbar, Tein coilover, Sparco seats, paint, Top Secret body, etc. (Whew!!) I'll have the whole process on my site in the next few weeks - really amazing to see the progression. I'll also be road racing it (the thing that really excites me) in the middle of May.
At any rate, I wanted to upgrade the stereo, but not spend a HUGE amount. Wanted something that a substantial upgrade over the factory system (which was failing anyway) - but still good bang-for-the-buck. The initial quote was about $3K-4K too much from my perspective, but it included a very pricey Eclipse super cd/dvd/audio/video head unit, and while pretty cool, I'm just not into it.
So here's what's been installed, which I have not been able to actually hear yet (and this is from memory and a now unreadible index card :^) :
(1) Eclipse 55410 Head
(1) Eclipse DVC 88120 12" Sub
(1) Eclipse 5083 8-Disc Changer
(2) MBQuart Q Series 215.xx's
(1) Xtant 603X
- Lots of good interconnect and power
- New relays, etc.
They used two sets of the MBQ seperates from what I understand so it has 4 5-1/4" midrange(door and rear b-pillar) and 4 1" indivdual high range / tweeters) I don't know how they've powered everything - the headunit has some power, and the amp (obviously) - might be using the 603 for the sub, head for the other stuff? I've seen digital pics of the installation - looks fantastic! (Maybe I'll post some of those pics later)
So what does everyone think? I almost went with the upgraded head unit in the final hours, but could justify the extra $1500 - also, they originally spec'd out an additional Xtant amp. If this is nice and tight, and sounds better then stock, I'm OK - heck if it sounds as good as the stock setup in my GS300 I'll be silly
