Sound System Questions, 5 quick questions :) Options

[JonCars17]

I have a few sound system questions.

I'm thinking of adding a sound system to my car by the end of May which gives me enough time to save up.

Q1:
What is the point in putting a Sub (8") in both side doors?

Q2:
How much should I roughly look at spending for the system (components in the front, 2 speakers in the back, headunit and a sub 10" with an amp)? I'd like to get one for qaulity and not the extreme bass.

Q3:
What should I look at when choosing a system? the Sensivity aka the dB?

Q4:
How do I calculate how much amp I need

Q5:
What can I do to stop the car from rattling once it is installed?


I'm a n00b when dealing with cars -_-.

q1 - there isn't really a point of putting an 8 inch sub up front unless you got the money and time to do it cause you would have either find a really really shallow 8 or do alittle fabrication to your door panel by cutting out the ciricle and then adding like a .75 inch ring or so so you can still roll down your windows and then dynamating your doors to keep for to much rattling

q2- the cheapest way to do it make still make to pretty damn good would be to get a kenwood excleon head unit problably one for around 250 or so for componets either boston acustics or alpine type s and rears try to stay with the same brand. note - if you are going to add a componet set then you will need to amp your high end i recommend the new alpine 4 channels not to expensive round 199 i think for one that will more then you could ever want. for amp i would reccomnd um... either an alpine for 199 or possibly a directed d800 for about 199 i would stay with the alpine. then either buy an alpine type s 10 or i would reccomend a jl 10w1 for $120 or a 10w3 either the v2 or v3 they run for i think 199 or so then a custom box that cost like 100 - 125

q3 - get well known brands don't go cheap and try to stay away from rockford poducts cheap products pioneer, dual, lightening audio, and cheap sony.

q4 - like i said try to get a well known brand on amps you get what you pay for if you pay 100 for an amp that does 1400w won't work for a ten you won't need more power then atleast 400w max so i would use just a decent amp remember if you pay like $300 for a 500 watt amp its should be pretty good

q5 - dynamat dynamat dynamat tighten spoiler, dynamat whole car, and can i say dynamat type products

hope this helped if you have ne other questions email me audio_earthquake@yahoo.com peace
