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

 

I love my pioneer head unit. DEH-690UB

 

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

 

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.

 

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 .

 

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

 

Did you buy your car from another member?

 

no, i traded in a 2000 blazer for this cobalt. i like it tho, nice little car. have u guys ever heard of elemental design speakers?? wanted to see if anyone has any input on them.

 

havent heard about them in a while , along time ago i was gonna get a set of there O-Series subs. but there site went down and i just kinda forgot about them ,lol . but i know back in the day thery were all the buzz in the caraudio comunity on all the fourms. they make some real nice audiophile levle stuff , but i have never heard anything from them my self. but i havnt heard anyone say anything bad about them ..

 

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?)

 

my car color is yellow

 

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.

 

u have laser blue amps?

 

yeppers

 

thats sweet. your sup amp is badazz man. i think im gonna go with the diamond D6's for my comp set. I'd prob buy those gti's from you for 200 shipped.

 

id get the diamond hex series ones myself, but you cant go wrong with the D6's either

 

yea, the hex's are a lil pricey for me man. remember, im a broke college student with no job hahah

 

haha didnt know...i saw the zapco amp and figured you musta been one of those all out audio guys, but i feel ya on that budget thing..sucks

 

I have Diamond D6 components in the other car at each corner. there pretty nice.

200 hu? hmm. give me a day to think about it will you. (and a shipping address so I know what it will cost me) PM if you want. Thanks

 

yea, i got the zapco amp from my buddy who owns an audio place back where i use to live and he sold it to me for dealer cost. it sucks sinced i moved bc i use to have the hookup lol

 

what are you going to do with it since ur selling the lb balt

 

huh?

 

Trickster: If you still want the JBL Gti's for 200, I'll let em go Shipping included, they will be up on Ebay to start the New Year though.

The Blue Amps are for sale...Along with everything else for the Lazer Blue car (as is the Car $18,000 OBO)
