Hi Guys,
Few quick questions regarding car audio, i'll start by detailing my current situation followed by hopeful outcome.
Car: 2005 sti
Current audio:
Standard speakers front and rear running off a 'decent' pioneer head unit
Parts at my house:
Monoblock Amp and copius amounts of RCA's cabling, power/earthing cabling etc etc
My plan:
1) Pick up a 4 channel amp and sub.
2) Run the standard speakers off the 4 channel amp
3) Utilise the mono to power the sub
4) All the while utilising all the left over/spare cabling from previous stereo installs
I'm budgetting about $300 ish for the amp and sub (friends have bulk second hand stuff available) and i'm assuming i'd be looking at around $200-300 if i paid some one to install it (please correct me if i'm wrong).
My questions:
1) How well will the standard speakers fair when amped and run through the head unit. (A subjective question, but just looking for a little more punch and bass)
2) Are wrx/sti's nightmares to wire
3) Any places NOR that any one would recommend for cheap installation.
4) If my pricing/budgetting is ball park will the sound gains be worth the $300ish to do it myself.
5) If my pricing/budgetting is ball park is the $300ish worth getting some one else to install it. (I can probably do it myself, just would take me a while i havent done a subi before)
P.s if this plan went ahead my cash is good and my beer is cold for any one who wanted to lend a hand
. Else i'll get my nissan technicians (friends) to pitch in.
