Did you install your sound system by yourself ??

its it easy ??

And what do i need to install...

thanx

 

Yes

Yes

New equipment, kit, harness, amp wiring, mdf, edead, whatever else you want

No problem




Oh by the way, I'm an MECP certified installer so this stuff is cake for me, I do it almost every day.... So my opinion of easy is biased, but the tC is a very easy car to work on.

 

me any my cousin.. now that i done it its easy...if u are using the stock headunit u need a converter to get the jacks, then a wiring kit and the hardware... i think thats all...

 

I did mine by myself. (With a little help from a friend.) I didn't want my tC to be the 'guniea pig' of an amateur installer. Plus, I wanted to save the install $$$ for more goodies! It's not bad at all just time-consuming. Taking apart the tC (although it's really easy) is a pain! You could DIY in probably one day. (That's going slow and taking your time.) Hard to say what you need to install when you haven't told us what you have equipment-wise.

 

Hyghgynx nailed it. For me it was very time consuming, as I took my time to make sure I didn't break/scratch up anything (even though I still scratched stuff ). I also laid about 100 sq.ft. of eDead. The actual process is easy as pie though if you follow mandos's tC gutting guide.

 

how much did yall paid for ??

whats the best combo ??

 

we installed ourselves.. we didnt pay anything.

combo what?

 

so basically i need sub amp wiring set converter(?) and hardware ?? i dont even know whats converter looks like and also on hardware...

any pix ?

 

i've got a lineout converter for sale :-P

 

which sub is good ??

 

that's like asking what color looks best on a tC ;)

 

I 'paid' myself with beer for a job well done.

Speaking of combos, I'M HUNGRY!

 

oh haha what amp do yall have

total cost over 500 ?

 

yeah... way over 500 for me

around 2,000 for *everything* i used in my system.

 

ya i can tell
yours looks damn clean and nice !!

but ifi change only amp how much it will be ?

 

installed it myself.. got broken into everything stolen.. got ins money yesterday going to build it bigger. badder meaner and lounder.. with a lighted fitted plexi top and all that crazyness that comes with that.. putting in the time and doing it yourself and making something custom is well worth it... i hate seeing a square speaker box rolling around peopels trunks.. *barf*.. .... build it and they will come

 

.. oh ya i forgot.. and if something doesnt work right. or not work at all.. you know who to blame!

 

hey! my trunk resembles that last remark



for now ;)

 

i seen your car alot.
i think i have ur cars pictures somewhere in my comp =D

i like ur ride !!

 

LoL you gotta do some research first about amps, subs, wiring and sound deadening before asking some of these questions. You can find anything on the internet. You also need to take account into how much money you have to spend.

What are you looking for in a sound system?? You want bass that will be heard from down the street or are you just like me, you just wants a little more bass to fill out the sound.

Here's what I have planned:
Kenwood KSC-SW1- A 6.5 inch wooofer and passive radiator. It's just good enough for me since I really don't like the heart pounding bass as everyone else does.
Alpine SPS-171A Component Speakers (for the front)- Just upgrading the stock speakers for some much needed highs.
Alpine SPS-17C2 Coiaxel Speaker- For the rear.
Pioneer GM-6200F (4 channel amp to power speakers)
