Aright boys, i just got a 2006 chevy cobalt SS.

this is what i kept from my other system (i let go of my headunit, and door speakers)

Two Memphis 12" subs
Interfire Amp for the subs (1000 watt, 1 channel)
Zapco 4 channel Amp for the door speakers. (500 watt, 4 channel) I had coaxial speakers, but i think i wanna get comp set this time around, thinkin maybe cadence, diamond, JBL, DLS.

I havent decided if i wanna get a new headunit or go with stock.

What do you guys suggest i do??

Oh and my budget is a college student soo dont go crazy lol

the stock speakers are actually pretty good. i just suggest that you get an aftermarket head unit so you can tune the speakers. i have 2 12's running off a hi to lo converter and they dont hit as hard as i would like them to cause i dont have the head unit yet. good luck

Trickster6487

yea, is just such a hassle to get a new headunit. i havent decided yet tho. i like the alpine, eclipse, and kenwood excelon headunits. i like the JBL and cadence components.

BigTizzle903

well at least u dont got an 07 and wanted a new head unit. i dnt wanna lose my door chimes, etc.

damn big money zapco ,cadence ...i haven’t started my system yet. To damn broke.. But i am an installer. Well use to be but now im back to just doing it as a hobby.

with that Amp it would sacrileges to not go with comps and a new head unit..
iv had problems in the past with pioneer hus and 4 channel amps. i would almost always get white noise ,or minor ground noise.
Id go with eclipse maybe the cd7100 or cd5100 id go 7100 just because of the 8v preouts .

Trickster6487

yea, u gotta love those 8volt pre outputs. im a big alpine fan when it comes to headunits. but those eclipse are gettin my attention. yea i love my zapco amp, its badass. i havent decided if i want JBL, diamond, or cadence for the comps. i need some help fellas

Trickster6487

phatnackySS

if your interested in JBL components....I got a good price on a great pair for your amp...check my sig. (what color is your car?)

Trickster6487

my car color is yellow

SS SCHGD

darn, My Lazer blue amps won't match....they might look nice though....But you have amps....Anyway, JBL C608GTI components, 225 shipped, if your interested in going that route. (extremely nice components) bridge your 4 channel and run the 2 in front and you'll be happy.
