What are the specs on a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Infinity stereo system?

poker_nikk

I own a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS that I bought used about a year ago. I blew the rear speakers and went to Best Buy and had them replaced for as cheap as I could. They put in some Kenwoods that sound like garbage. I'd like to buy new speakers, but since I don't know the specs on the Infinity stereo that's in my car right now, I don't know what to buy.

Thanks :)

Answer
Your front door speakers are 5 1/4" and your back side panel speakers are 6 1/2". Your factory deck with the infinity system has more than enough power to drive most speakers in those sizes. I have always had a preference for pioneer speakers for their price and performance. You can get a nice 6 1/2" 3-way pioneer for under $50. Check www.crutchfield.com

2000 camaro head unit?

Aaron Huds

im looking for a good head unit somewhere for my 10" subs (alpine). I have a 2000 chevy camaro & im not sure how to know whether or not it will fit in my car, so. how can i tell if one will fit in my camaro?

Answer
Go to this site.
http://www.crutchfield.com/

Under, "Car Audio, Video & GPS" tab, under "Build Your System" Click on,
"Find What Fits Your Car"

Enter the details of your car.

When this is finished, Crutchfield will only match you with Head units, speakers, and other installation options that will fit your car.
If there are any special conditions that need to be met, they will inform you of them, like wiring, if the unit will only fit with custom work, etc, etc.

Good luck.

home theater system under $2000?

Hi i'm totally new to AV system and wondering if my considerations look ok.

I don't want to clutter up our living room with 5 speakers, so I am going with 2.1 system, and chose KEF speakers.
Not sure how well other components matches up the speakers.
Appreciate any comment in advance.

front speakers : KEF KHTMODEL7GB ($720)
subwoofer : KEF HTB2BL ($720)
receiver : Denon AVR1610 ($380)
dvd/cd player : Pioneer Dv610av-k ($140)

Answer
Three days and no answer? I think you will be well pleased with your selection. I haven't heard these particular speakers but have fond memories of the KEF speakers that I have heard. The Denon is a solid pick as well as the Pioneer, Without doing alot of research, the only thing I would do is to compare the receiver and the DVD player against others and against the next model up in the line, since you are still under budget and see what you get for the extra money. I assume you have listened to the speakers and would only suggest that if you can, listen to the setup in your own home and make sure they sound the way you like and if not available for home trial, that you can trade in or at the very least, take some music you are familiar with to the shop to listen to make sure you get the sound you are looking for.

If you are buying these online and can't demo, I would check to see if there is anything local that you could actually listen to and if that is not possible, well...you are probably OK anyway, Good Luck,

Can anyone beat this system for under 2000$? Need to see other Ideas, 10 points for the 1st good answer.?

WOLFER90

Heres a challenge, You must get a computer that is better than this one, pre built, and with shipping (to VA) and it must be under 2000$.
Other rules: must be intel processor, at least 800mhz ram, no case side windows, blu ray, and nvidia graphics. You dont need a mouse, keyboard, or monitor, or speakers.

try to beat this 2000$ system :) once resolved, il tell you were i get it :)
first person with a better system in the price range wins the 10 points!!!
(hint: im not using a local builder, im using a buisiness.)

Il be the judge of if the system is better. Brand names mean nothing.

What is a cheap but good car sound system?

best speaker system under 2000 image

4est

I'm 15 years old and im getting my first car in october. Since I'm a kid i wont have a lot of money to spend on a sound system. What is the best i can get without having to spend a lot of money? (over $2000)

Answer
You can get a nice system for well under $2,000.

Get a decent Pioneer deck, they're nice because they include crossovers for your main speakers. Taking the low frequency out of them will make even the factory speakers a lot clearer and louder.

Get a single 10" or 12" sub, get a decent brand, here's where to spend a little of the money to get some performance out of it. I'd go with at least JL. Stay away from anything like MTX, pioneer, RF etc. A single 12" JL will be a lot louder than two crap subs anyway. Then get a decent amp, a small Alpine is a good amp for a sub. Around 250 RMS will be plenty to power one sub. With everything installed you should be around $1,000, maybe less. Need to spend a little more? Get a little more power to that sub. A little more? Get a better sub, Boston Accoustics makes great subs. A little more yet? Upgrade the factory speakers and put an amp to them.

I am looking for a home theater subwoofer that goes lower than 20hz ?

Emmanuel S

I want a subwoofer that will play the very low frequency in my home theater ? I have about 2000 to spend?

Answer
Brand new subwoofer systems with a suggested retail price less than roughly US$5000 that also have total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 10 percent, minimal power compression and reasonably flat (±3 dB), usable passband output* of at least 100 dB below 20 Hz are very rare.

Though there may be a few other subwoofer systems that may come close, the only turnkey subwoofer systems of which I am currently aware that essentially meet all of the aforementioned performance criteria at a retail price of no more than US$2000 are SVSoundâs PB13-Ultra Powered Subwoofer, possibly the Seaton SubMersive and the now discontinued Epik Conquest. Arguably the only subwoofer system nearest the suggested retail price of US$2000 that would surpass the performance of these subwoofers in nearly every category would be a do-it-yourself subwoofer system constructed with one of the highly regarded and very expensive Audiopulse LMS-Ultra drivers (formerly of TC Sounds fame,) powered by a high performance, very high power audio power amplifier.

What kind of car speakers should I buy?

best speaker system under 2000 image

Q. I own a 2000 Nissan Frontier with a factory installed sound system. I am looking to replace four 6 inch speakers and I need a subwoofer small enough to fit under a seat. The maximum that I want to spend is $500. Any suggestions?

Answer
Honestly if you only want to spend $500 no more you need to trim down what you want. You could get everything you want for that price but the quality would be terrible. Think about what you are really going for out of your audio system Sound quality ,Bass, or a mix of both. Then go from their check out crutchfield.com and do a search by your vehicle to see what speakers fit your factory locations. Don't buy of of crutchfield though they are extremely over priced but they are a great source for info. Also check out soundomain.com their is a lot of user reviews on this site for products. the best of wishes for you on this project man and have fun with it.

If I have a $2000.00 budget for an entire car stereo system what sub and amp should I use?

ecofriendl

Total cost with installation needs to be under $2000.00
I want something that will have some boom but not burst my eardrums...I listen to primarily hard rock and rap.

Answer
U said entire stereo system? ok lets do this nicely:

Headunit: Alpine CDA 9856 or Pioneer DEH6800MP

Amps: Memphis Car Audio PR1000.1 (1000 watts RMS at 1 ohm class D mono) for bass and PR100.4 For Highs (50Wrms X4)

Speakers: Infinity Referrence Series Components for the Front, and 6X9 3 ways for the back. Or, Memhis MC class speakers.

Subzzzz: two Memphis M3-124 Subs. 12" subs Dual 4 ohm Coils all wired in parallel to get a 1 ohm load. In a Ported box.

Make sure u get these 2: 3 farad capacitor and 4 gauge wiring.

U will get clean clear sound from ur highs, plus loud, well balanced lows that u can control how loud u wanna get from the sub output on ur headunit. I selected heaunits that are iPOD, satellite radio, CD changer or AUX input ready. And each has built in EQ/Xover of some sort, plus 3 sets of RCA's.

There are many more options out there, but beleive me, u will love this system. Hope u can find a Memphis dealer near u.

U said entire stereo system? ok lets do this nicely:

Headunit: Alpine CDA 9856 or Pioneer DEH6800MP

Amps: Memphis Car Audio PR1000.1 (1000 watts RMS at 1 ohm class D mono) for bass and PR100.4 For Highs (50Wrms X4)

Speakers: Infinity Referrence Series Components for the Front, and 6X9 3 ways for the back. Or, Memhis MC class speakers.

Subzzzz: two Memphis M3-124 Subs. 12" subs Dual 4 ohm Coils all wired in parallel to get a 1 ohm load. In a Ported box.

Make sure u get these 2: 3 farad capacitor and 4 gauge wiring.

U will get clean clear sound from ur highs, plus loud, well balanced lows that u can control how loud u wanna get from the sub output on ur headunit. I selected heaunits that are iPOD, satellite radio, CD changer or AUX input ready. And each has built in EQ/Xover of some sort, plus 3 sets of RCA's.

There are many more options out there, but beleive me, u will love this system. Hope u can find a Memphis dealer near u.

What is a cheap but good car sound system?

4est

I'm 15 years old and im getting my first car in october. Since I'm a kid i wont have a lot of money to spend on a sound system. What is the best i can get without having to spend a lot of money? (over $2000)

Answer
You can get a nice system for well under $2,000.

Get a decent Pioneer deck, they're nice because they include crossovers for your main speakers. Taking the low frequency out of them will make even the factory speakers a lot clearer and louder.

Get a single 10" or 12" sub, get a decent brand, here's where to spend a little of the money to get some performance out of it. I'd go with at least JL. Stay away from anything like MTX, pioneer, RF etc. A single 12" JL will be a lot louder than two crap subs anyway. Then get a decent amp, a small Alpine is a good amp for a sub. Around 250 RMS will be plenty to power one sub. With everything installed you should be around $1,000, maybe less. Need to spend a little more? Get a little more power to that sub. A little more? Get a better sub, Boston Accoustics makes great subs. A little more yet? Upgrade the factory speakers and put an amp to them.

What kind of sound system should I purchase?

best speaker system under 2000 image

jennannej

Haven't had a sound system since I moved halfway across the country 4 years ago! I don't even know what the options ARE any more! Obviously, I'd like something for CD/radio. I also know now they have options for streaming, bluetooth, etc. I have a Sony Laptop and an iPhone I could potentially use to hook up to. Don't want to spend a lot of money, but want something with decent sound (for use, for example, during a small party).

I am so lost, not even knowing where to start. Help!

Answer
You can still find practically any kind of sound system, at any of several price points. Generally, for the DOLLAR SPENT, the fewer channels driven, and fewer gimmicks included, the better quality.of basics you should expect. So, it depends. Stereo good enough for you? Five channel ? Do you really need seven channel sound? Nine speakers sound like overkill to you? Pay to play radio? or is FM good enough? Usually more bang for the buck comes from receivers, like it always has. If mid-level audio is good enough for you. If you feel the need for more than bookshelf sized speakers, the price increases pretty dramatically. Most modern receivers will allow almost any device to jack in, whether I pads, pass through dvd hookups, whatever, though there is some variation in the market. Look for solid brand names, and listen to a few units at a shop with a good listening room. Be sure and get complete system quotes, and check likely purchases on the net, wherever, for reviews and price before you invest. Ask questions while shopping. Laptop sound is usually pretty bad, comparatively, so I wouldn't (besides running out your batteries all the time) recommend using that as your primary sound system, and powered house speakers of any note are not cheap, offer very little in terms of bass treble or other controls, and such a mix wont get you airwave FM, either. Generally any audio device with a "low" or preamp output jack can be jacked in to any receiver with the right chord. You needn't bother with an all in one thingy. the speakers provided are usually poor ly built and nothing special in terms of sound. Many of the supplied "Bass Units" supplied barely manage to go even as deep crisply as an average mid-market bookshelf speaker. Most bookshelf speakers play loudly down to about 50 hz or so, and produce some level of sound down to 23 hz. Your video DVD or Blueray player, for example, can be jacked right in and will certainly play your CDs just fine. As for brands, Onkyo makes solid inexpensive units, a stereo Sherwood Rx 4105 sells for under a hundred bucks new, a Yamaha Rx a3020 9.2 channel for about 2000 bucks. There's an alphabet of brands. Choose at least good performing speakers, better built ones will "rap" tightly when knocked on, cheap ones will "rap" hollowly, Audition your choices sound before you purchase anything. Usually best to buy the same speaker all the way around, because each speaker brand/model has its distinct timbre. Not buying the same all around will make some stand out. Factory matched sets are already balanced, of course. But hear your choices live.

Need advice for first time buying a car?

I basically have three options right now. I plan on buying a car this upcoming tax season, I should have around 2,000 between savings and tax return for a down payment. I'm confused as to whether I should buy a cheapo car under 2000 for my first car, buy from a used dealership for around 5-6,000 and risk getting scammed, or buy a new, or new used car in the 10,000 range. I currently am a student and live at home with minimal bills. I could afford to buy a newer car, and it would give me peace of mind knowing I won't have to fuss with mechanical problems, but it'll make money pretty tight. Any advice for a first time buyer?

Answer
First narrow down to what type of car you want and can afford. Then find the model and year you want and can afford. Research the car on Edmunds.com and kbb.com (Kelly Blue Book). These sites will give you the value of the car and any reported issues with the car you're looking at. Some cars are lemons (cars that break down frequently) so it's vital that you research your car on Edmunds.com

Cars have what's called "packages". Basically they're add-ons to what the car comes with standard. Examples are: Premium Package-Adds a moon roof, more luxury options, etc. Sound Package-Updated sound system, better speakers, multi-disc changer, iPhone connector, etc. Every car is different in this respect. Features that a package offers will differ between cars.

If the car is new, they're will be 0 millage. During this period, this is called the break in period. Do NOT excessively wear your car down during this period or you may damage it and shorten the life span of the car.

If the car is used, it REALLY depends on the age, brand, and if the previous owner(s) took care of it. If the maintenance was hardly done, the car is bound to have severe problems that you will have to fix. Buying a car with low millage is better than one with high millage. High millage can be considered 90,000+. Anything over 100,000+ miles you need to be VERY careful about. Most cars will develop issues over this millage.

Borrowing money is based on several things. The banks determine what the requirements are. One, you must have a job and at least have held it for a year. You must present your W2 tax form (it states how much you made in that tax year) and you're two most recent pay stubs. The bank uses this to determine if you can pay back your loan in a timely manner and that you aren't asking for excessive money. A bank will not lend you money for a Mercedes if you make minimum wage for example. If you make $7000 in a year. The bank will typically not lend you anything higher than that amount.

If you have no credit history or a limited one, you will be charged with a high interest rate.

Also, in most states, you are legally required to purchase insurance. If you have to borrow money, the lien holder (the one who lend you the money to buy the car) will require you buy purchase total coverage insurance. Basically this will cover any and all incidents if you get into an accident. This is a monthly payment on top of your loan.

The insurance amount you own will be determined by several things. If you're an 18 year old that's buying a sports car, you will be hit with high insurance rates. Why? Because insurance companies know that younger adults are more dangerous drivers statistically. However, if you took drivers ed and have a clean record, you may get these rates reduced.

Maintenance on any car is required if you don't want it to break down quickly. Maintenance is not just changing the oil, but maintaining everything. Examples are power steering fluid, breaking fluid, transmission fluid, clutch fluid (if it's a manual), tires, etc. Japanese cars are usually cheap to maintain. My Honda Accord Coupe costs $40 to do an oil change. European cars are more expensive to maintain and repair. I also own a Mercedes C240 and an oil change costs about $200. If you're just starting off and don't have a high income, get a Japanese car, like a Honda or Toyota.

Changing oil isn't that hard in Japanese and American cars. It's a PAIN in European cars. You can do this yourself if you know what you're doing. DO NOT use the incorrect oil or you will damaged the engine. If you're not sure, take it to the dealership. It will cost more, but they'll know what they're doing. You can find this out be reading the owner's manual (all cars come with one).

Different cars use different grades of gasoline. Make sure you are using the correct one or else it will damage the engine. My Honda uses Regular gas, the cheapest option. My Mercedes uses Super, which is the most expensive.

Overview of Owning a Car (what you'll be paying for and should consider before buying a car)
-the loan amount
-insurance on the car
-gas
-maintenance
-repairs

Luxury cars are more expensive to maintain and repair. I don't suggest buying one if it's your first car and if you have a low income.

If you do decide to buy used, get a Japanese car, if possible a Honda Accord. They're known to be one of the most reliable cars to buy. If buying used, try to get it directly from the owner. An owner will know the car better than a dealer, who's primary concern is to make money. I wouldn't buy a car that's older than 10 years old and/or with high millage.
