Is this System missing anything? (190kb Pic)
Hello ... I made a Jpg of my system setup ... am I missing any major components ... or is their something I could add to make it better?
... The File was Taken Off Line because my father has changed his mind ... we are changing the system a little (well a lot)

Re: Is this System missing anything? (Kale)
Looks good to me. You will want to consider a few extras though. The alpine makes screen and players seperately. Most of the other makers put the screen and players in one unit. You also might want:
DVD changer
TV tuner
5.1 surround sound capable with mid and tweet in the center of the car.
Don't forget the alarm also. I'd look at a clifford alarm.

EQ is good if your system is in need of one

Re: Is this System missing anything? (NewVetteLover)
make sure to stick with an active eq.
*edit*
you can ditch the passive xovers and go with nice active ones, too

Re: Is this System missing anything? (Kale)
they are powered versions of the crossovers... more transparant from what i hear, and more adjustable.

Re: Is this System missing anything? (NewVetteLover)
nooo
this would replace the MBQ crossovers,
you'd feed amp low, medium, and high into the crossover, then from the crossover to the speakers themselves.
its not a big deal mho

The 5.1 is out there. Useful? Don't know as I haven't heard one. But I read about them in a few mags and it seemed interesting. If you can get a demo from a shop I'd try a listen. Oh, don't forget the Playstation 2. ;)

Re: Is this System missing anything? (92TripleBlack)
Actually I have thought about the PS2 ... but the PS1 is smaller ... and I might install one of those for the fun of it ... plus its only $100 vs. $200+ ...

Stick with the MB passive crossovers for the speakers. The maker made them to optimize the speakers capabilites. As for the sub, you may want an adjustable crossover for that frequency and level wise. Most good decks have this built in so you won't need to buy one.

For the Sub ... the Alpine does not have a Sub woofer cut off but the JL amp does ... The Alpine is a very basic unit designed to be the control unit of a whole system ...

Re: Is this System missing anything? (NewVetteLover)
I'd go with the crossovers build into the JL Audio amps, very clean and flexiable. Just installed JL 500/5 amp, Alpine head unit with MB Quarts, very
clean sound.
The crossovers (4) are mounted on both sides of the amp.

Re: Is this System missing anything? (FUN4JT)
Thanks for the info ... FUN4JT ... I plan on using 2 amps becuase I want to bi-amp the components and also becuase I have the 500/1 from an old install and the 300/4 was fairly cheap on e-bay ... I have actually bought all of the items including the HU,amps,speakers, and the sub is on order from a local shop ...
Item I am seriously thinking about:
PS1 or PS2 (just for show) ...
Sound FX Lighting
