    Currently, im using a

    Clarion DXZ 656 mp head unit
    A pair of MPS 1700 VDO Dayton Splits in the front doors,
    A pair of Clarion 4" co-ax speaker running as a mid/ tweeter in th dash
    A pair of VDO 6.5" co-ax in the rear doors.

    At the moment im not running any subs, as ive just sold them, and tomorrow i will order my new subs. A pair of SB15xb Clarion 15" subs.

    My amps are an old US Audio 554z 4 channel, a tough and reliable amp, that is currently only powering my front speakers

    I also have a Directed Xtream 1500x mono bloc that has proven to be a very nice amplifier, but it is a little small, at only 220W rms at 4ohms. I would like a little more extra power so that i dont have to run the amp so hard.


    The Headunit is a very nice peice of gear, with full RCA outs and an RCA aux in, a motorised face, and 4x52 amplifier. the only thing i dont like about it is the lack of a parametric equaliser, and a lack of hi-pass filters.

      Great Idea Science!

      I just hope everyone has a good alarm that is posting all their gear.

      At the moment i have the following

      ol' school clarion tape deck (cant decide on what deck to replace the VRX677 i had)
      Polk Momo MMC6500 splits in the front
      Polk DB650 Coax in the rear

      and in the shed a couple of Polk Momo MM2124's, couple of clarion pa10s in a dual slot ported box, box of random headunits, half a dozen random amps, meters and meters of cable and rca'a.

      Guess thats what you get from fitting stereo's for a few years.......

          i have an older version kenwood deck with the cd stacker in d boot which is annoyn.

          i have amped my stock front and rears with a pheonix gold 4 channel. 50rms x4

          currently using my old xplod 12" sub, was powered by a jaycar mono for awhile and now back to an old 2 channel until i get money to buy a mono.

          4gauge wiring to distro to 8gauge

          so, hopefully later i will have a jaycar mono again, running a sub with about 600-800 rms . either herts, soundstream or sumthin, or maybe 2 type r's.

            At the moment I have:

            Blaupunkt CD300 HU (lump of ****)
            Pioneer 6.5" splits in ze front (lumps of ****)
            Pioneer 6.5" coax in ze back (lumps of ****!)

            As you may be able to gather, I don't think too highly of this system!
            Bugger all clarity, weak volume, very very crap HU interface with an excessively twitchy volume knob.
            Also, thanks to the thin tires on the car I think it suffers a lot from road noise and of course that lovely VR6 burble

            Current sitting in my bedroom, and as of Thursday will be happily in the car:
            Clarion DXZ766USB HU (w00t!)
            Alpine Type-X 6.5" splits in ze front
            Alpine 502T (2x75w) giving the splits what they need
            Audison connection wiring for the whole lot

            At some stage I'll whack in some dynamat in the doors as well.

              in the mk1 i have

              2x fusion 6" splits in each door with 1 tweeter in the door and 1 dash mounted each side. both doors re trimmed in cream vinyl (fkn rip off)

              eclipse cd5000 head unit (crazy the amount of stuff it has)

              6.5" lcd monitor running off dvd player in glove box

              2x 12" eclipse subs running off a 550w kenwood amp atm (upgrading to the eclipse xa1000 mono)
              ive tried alot of combos with subs,
              ive had 1x10" then 2x10" then i went to a 15" now i have 2x12" if i didnt have to get a custom made sub box for 2x15" i would be running that.lol

                Alpine type R 12" sub
                Alpine mono block 1000w amp
                Kenwood 6" front

                Sub and Amp is awsome.... but if i was to do it all again i would get a cheaper system..... $1000 for sub and amp is stupid.... $130 for 12" sony (or equivalent) and 4 channel amp is all u really need..... anyhow, whenever i hear a car drive past with the stereo loud i just think (as does everyone else who isnt in the car) they are a bunch of tossers...
