Recommend ICE Setup for a New Car

[Cstan]

Dear Friends,

 

I need some advice from the good people here.

 

I will be changing to an Evo X in less than two months. The new car comes with a JVC head unit and speakers which are thrown in by the parallel importer. I am thinking of trading in the JVC setup for a better alternative. I will be expected to top up extra cash for the better setup.

 

I have a budget of $3000. And I listen to mostly Trance, Hip Hop, Pop and Rock music when I drive. I would like to hear your advice and recommendations. I don't want a subwoofer as the boot space is already small.

 

Cheers,

CS Tan

Anyone able to help? Any feedback will be welcomed.

 

I'm thinking of the following setup:

 

Alpine IVA-W502E Head Unit

Focal 165 K2P Upgraded Component Speakers

Focal FP 4.75 Amp (4-Channel)

Focal Speaker Cables

 

It's going to cost more than my original $3000 budget. But I'm willing to stretch for it.

 

Cheers,

CS Tan

Yes, it will cost more than $3k. Get a sub, else your music don't get the ummph when you go loud. Low notes will be missing.

EVO X only got space for shallow mount sub dah. THis is my friend's config in his evo X, maybe you can use it as a guideline...

 

Alpine W202 + 701

CDT ES620

Some rockford amp 4x100W

Morel elate 10" sub

 

& maybe got 1 more amp for the sub, can't rmbr liao haha...

I am not sure how 'loud' is your Evo X exhaust, thus I do agree with Bro Dunno that you should get a sub and also need some sound proofing for your doors as well. Perhaps stretching your budget a little more.
