Alright my 94 ST coupe is all stock. It sucks.
I probabl have around 700-800 to spend a headunit and speakers (subs later). Suggestions? I'll probably buy off crutchfield or something. Ive also heard great things about Eclispe head units, but i dont know their prices, and i doubt they are in my range. Thanks |

Guys, dont get upset because I said that Alpine is overrated. Just admit to it. Alpine IS overrated
 You can get the exact same features on any other brand and pay half the price.try this, get an Alpine HU, connect the RCA's to a RTA (real time analyzer)and play a CD with pink noise. you will notice that it can play most of the frequencies in the spectrum at a very stable level... do the same with a Clarion Pro Audio and you will get the same or better response and pay much less money... Just in case someone wants to know what the RTA is: the RTA meter has two main functions the first is the SPL function this is used to test / measure the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) up to 180 DB in your vehicle. "The same meter used in car audio competitions when that place the mic in your car" The second function is the Real Time Analyzer (RTA) this is used to electronically set external equalizers to fine tune your system to its maximum potential by measuring the frequency response. I have one. NO I dont want him or said to buy a Waltmart system.. I just worked with his budget and if you READ what I wrote I said get a GOOD HU and then work around it. that way when his budget gets better he can upgrade very easily. As of my system: Clarion Pro Audio HU Phoenix Gold 230 EQ MB Quarts competition components: 6" midbass, 4" midrange 1" tweeter Presicion Power PPI X-Over with fiber optic cable from the remote unit 6 JL Audio 8W6 for subs 3 Audio Art 50HC amps: 1 for each component set 1 Audio Art 100HC amps: for the subs 3 - 1000 Farrad Caps All wiring by Monster Go get some homework done before you ask me not to speak again...
