I know im going to sound riduculus, but buying anything with my father is like shopping with a kid, he just winds him self up as we go along, today when i talked to him ( he lives in the UK) we ended on JBL amp ( 4 channel ) 2 channels for the front doors(JBLs), bridge of the other two for a 12 or 15" sub in in trunk also JBL, then leaving the stock subs behind the seats and rewireing the stock amp ( i belive its 4 channel) bridging the 4 channels in to two and sending more than doubled power to small stock subs, and he said that if they burn he just get me JBL. I started off by telling him i want a system of mostly blaupunkt, next day he was buying me alpines, now we're at JBL, im honestly scared of tomorow.
as for the details, i can show you what we're at right now:
JBL PX300.4 ( 4 channel amp) 169 RMS @ 2ohms and and 358 RMS bridge @ 4ohms ( for sub which will be 2 ohms, so it will be higher than that but i dont know exactly how much)
JBL GTO6537 ( front doors) 100 RMS @ 2ohms (300 peak) they arent available in US yet, but they are in UK and we will get them there and he will either send them here or i will bring them my self when i come back from UK ( going for the summer on the 16th, so the installing might be postponned)
JBL GTO1202D ( subwoofer just the speaker, we're cant decide between custom box or tube) 300 RMS @ 2ohms (1200 max)
Blaupunkt San diego mp27 ( radio ) we just want something cheap and that has 2 sets of RCA, the weak built in amp wont be used so we only need a reciver of some kind that can supply something to work off and buying a more expensive radio would be a waste, its like 129,99 at crutchfield, and they include the key to pull the old one out and some harnesses.
( it wont let me post 5th picture, for the radio, it nothing fancy, u can just type it in google to see it)
So thats where we are for now, and i wouldnt be sureprised if it changed, knowing my father he will find something better, he used to be an enthusiast of car audio and its him pushing it further, i wanted something fairly simple but getting some hardcore stuff makes him feel younger again lol, and i think its that when he was younger he didnt have access to stuff like jbl or alpine and even if he did he wouldnt have the money, so i think its his way of reliving the dream, and hey, im not gonna stop him
:P
