how do the type R's sound???

Honestly. Ill give the same answer that ASEC gives. Everybody's opinion is different. Go to a store and hear them for yourself. Thats the only way you will get a good answer

umm you are missing a sub   ;D

It died.. I got it for 100 with the box and an amp.. Cant compain considering the sub is 250 new

Ive got Ininity Reference 6 1/2s for the front and Infinity reference 9" for the back all of which had to be "forced" in i have an alpine head unit and two premier 12s with a JBL 4 way running my mains (the infinitys) and some german off brand (hey it was affordable) 4 way bridged running mysubs

I am stereo smart... like know my way around a system, and done lots of them.. and if you are not stereo smart do not go and try to see how good subs are at a store.. they will try to con you.. there salesmen... thats why they have all the subs stack around each other.. in the display area.. they'll turn up the type R's for you so you can hear them but every other sub around feeds off the one thumping and it sounds real good...

I went into a store and looked at some stuff and they show you everything.. and tell me it sounds good. I laughed and had too explain they're own conning techniques to the stores own electronics workers one time....  :D

Thats great.. Yea they feed off eachother. But it will give you a bit of an Idea. And with the speakers. A speaker is a speaker. Its either nice or it isnt

mine is in the works right now and is to hard to explain.

whoa hold it....a speaker is not a speaker is not a speaker, there are hundreds of different things you need to look at that make a speaker good and make another not good and depending on what you are running might make top of the line CRAP compared to a lower model. do your research and check out www.crutchfield.com that site lists everything you need to know and explains a little in the process, i am pretty damn stereo smart myself and wouldnt trust a salesman unless he was trying to sell me JL audio equip they arent lying with that stuff and its worth the money if you can afford it, stay away from sony unless it say cea compliant otherwise its a joke. its better to shop at that site since those people are not tryng to sell you face to face.

When I said a speakers a speaker.  I meant. That when you hear it. Its either good. Or bad. Just try and listen to it with a setup thats as close toyours as possible

forgiven!! lol i wastn freaking out but i shoulda worded that better i just though i would make it known to anyone to make sure that you REALLY research your speakers...you truly can get screwed over with a high end speaker if you cant power it right.

Overkill or no?

...Plus all the wiring and other stuff...

Too much??? ??? ??? ???

Its alot of Boss. Thats for sure

Nice setup. I know boss can make some good stuff.

I thought it was... Hope it doesn't kill the car ha ha. Gonna have to get a better alternator and a optima. That's for sure... ;)

that and make sure you do it RIGHT. if you have to get the dynamat and make sure car is sturdy. my friends system just rattled everything apart untill i had to redo everything. (hes one of them types that like to use electrical take and wire ties for EVERYTHING

I'm gonna have it pro. installed. I'd screw it up one way or another. But you are right... I don't want it to shake apart ha ha...  :D

Save yourself 500 bucks and go to crutchfield.com they will send you a print out of your car( actually your car) and what you need adn where all the screws are and all adapters that you need to fit it all in the way you need it. its a great way to save some money

agree. It would be good for u t learn also.

I may just do that...  I'll have some friends help me with that.... So last question, you think that many watts it overkill? Oh

wattage has nothing to do with it can the speakers handle it? thats the question, get yourself a nice Equalzer(EQ) ballance it out so that that much wattage doesnt kill the speakers or so your bass doesnt muddy your mains a 10 band is adequate but i would go for 20 or more if you can.

depending on your headunit you may have a good EQ already there(not those factory settings look for a setting you can change the ammount of a single bandwidth on and start tuning) sit in the car and enjoy listening to music while tuning it to your liking beware any interference or humming sounds, this usualy means some speaker is getting to much power and is just vibrating the living f*ck out of its surround which is REALLY bad.

be careful of what gets what if you have a sub make sure its getting only the low bandwidths that is very imortant higher ones can actually damage subs and low bandwidths can hurt your mains. thats where lowpass and highpass come in.

also if you can split the difference between how sound moves remember that you sit on the left side of the car so sound waves from the left hit you faster than the ones on the right and once again depending on the head unit you can slow or speed up sound from the mains and on some HUs the subs too. this helps the sound sound more cohesive its a small change but it does make a difference.

Nicely put. You get some karma for that one! So I've been doing a little more research onto this Boss speakers and its seems that the blade xtreme series has a better layout. Anyone want to elaborate on this one please?  :)

dont really know much about Boss to tell the truth do some good research out there htere are a few brands thought to be top end and they are tottal trash i can say hat Sony and Kicker are more money for less quality. though both are ok. also stay away from the shaped subs the square and pentagon shaped subs are nice looking but i have heard bad things about them.

ok so if you notice that i leave a lot of letters out in posts sometimes its cause the keyboard i have is dumb and its a laptop so it likes to forget letters when im typing and i dont always look at the computer when i type....just explaining why there are weird words in some of my posts.

well i do not believe kicker is bad quality for more money. in fact i have 2 kicker L5 dual 4 ohm subs (the square ones) that i have had for about 4 years now and i got them for less than $100 each. pushing them i have 2 kicker KX 600.1 amps which are just as old and still pump out a ton of bass, last time i got it metered it hit 139.7db's without tuning and not at full load.

compared its not as good as they claim, however there are some that have good ratings and abilities.

compared to what

the other brands out there. if you think about the dynamics of what a sub does, it doesnt actually make a sound it just pushes air at a frequency...a very LOW frequency, when a sub is round its got even push and is going to move the same amount of air all the way around square subs are going to have focal points and flat spots due to the corners air wont move from the corners this will make an uneven bass wave(its gonna be strong none the less though).  dba means little if the sound quality as a whole is poor. Kicker is a good bargain but i personaly believe that the money spent on other brands is better spent since i have had trouble with kicker and so have friends of mine.but i have to say that none of that really matters in a car stereo unless you are in competition what sounds good sounds good and as long as you power it correctly and keep the frequencies right it will all pretty much sound good.....stick with the CEA compliant Kicker(and everything else unless you are buyin JBL) stuff that way you know its doing what its claimed to do. also i did not say BAD quality just less quality for the money they are cheap and  good speakers, could be better though, but they have come a long way since thier first speakers/amps.
