I'm going back and forth on what I should do first. I have a Monte Carlo which is stock, visually, but I've replaced the interior speakers and added some generic 12" subs. I have the stock deck, the mids and highs are run off the stock 200 watt amp and the subs were tied into the system via high/low converter and is being powered by a 250 watt amp. It sounds alright but i'm an audiophile and can't wait to upgrade the head unit/amp for mids/highs, and upgrade the subs/sub amp so it sounds nice and clean. But at the same time, summer is right around the corner and some 20" rims would have me on bling status..............what should I do, get the rims and tires first or finish the stereo system first and get the rims/tires by next summer?

 

get the stero and why your at ill take one to,
i want the pioneer nav system

 

Go for the sound system upgrade....


What kind of 20's are you looking at??

 

buy a five channel amp that can take care of everything...

i have a HIFONICS zeus and it takes care of the subs and component speakers....


you need to have a stereo that catch's peoples attention so they look at your car and notice the rims more!! lol

 

Mickey, I'll get right on that...........and I'll make sure to send it to the same place you sent Montejass' Bar B Q

montejass: I'll be getting some Zenetti's

TBM: show me a 5ch amp that puts out 100 watts rms x 4@ 4ohms and 700 watts rms x 1 @ 2 ohms that costs less than $500 and I'm all over it

 

i would get the system im not lookin at bigger rims if i do they will be 16 maybe 18 cuz the bigger the rims the slower you go

 

please tell me you're joking

 

well you could put the monte on 20's and have the same outer diameter on the tires, so tires would still spin just as many times but engine would have to work harder to spin them because they're about 20lb heavier each rim at least

my 20's on my truck weigh about 50lb ea

but its all up to the person what they do first...personally i'd do rims and leave the sytem the way it is for now...its summer time now!! lol

i'm lookin at dub esinem 20" rims for the monte...but not too sure if i'm gonna do it...prolly should keep it the way its supposed to look

 

The best way I can put it is that I notice absolutely no difference in my car's performance when I have a passenger compared to when I don't. Now when I have a full car the difference is noticeable. That being said, this is a non-issue.

I feel you on the summertime thing, that was what I was battling with, but at the end of the day I think I would rather have a clean stereo system in a stock car than some dubs on a car with a wack stereo system.

 

thats the thing, you can't really do everything at once...and everybodies personal taste is different..do what you want to do, my truck that i'm selling now i did up slowly over about 2.5 years..but now its done
