Questino about aftermarket sound system

[shelbysvt]

Ok here is the quote I got from a DSI electronics in Laurel. They did 2 different quotes one with Morel speakers with mosconi amp and one with JL speakers with mosconi amp.

The price also includes everything to make it work with the OEM system and as well to make everything fit properly and look OEM.

It also includes full husmat of doors, entire floor, and rear deck area but not trunk.

For morel virtus and the high end mosconi amp and all hushmat the price was 5200 with JL c5's it was 4900. This is to replace all speakers on the inside of the car front and back

If I get rid of hushmatting the floor. The price drops down to 3500 for JLs and 3600 for Morel. If I get the entry level mosconi amp the price drops to 3100 for JLs and 3200 for Morels.

So the real problem areas is the mosconi amp and husmatting the floor. The entry level amp is 700 the high end is 1100 and husmatting the floor just labor is 800 and the materials were around 700 for doing the floor.

So what do you all think? This is all for a 3 way system so speaker, tweeter, and mid range driver, and then replacing the rear speakers as well. My main goal is to create a system that sounds more clear and more detailed not really louder hence why there is no extra subwoofer included in this.

That is so damn far from me lol. This place in laurel is even far being almost 40 minutes from me. Is the owner going to give me a better deal there? haha

What system is going in your car?

Im doing Focal speakers 3 way in the back co axle in the from with a 6'' round in the door sub. With JL 400x4 and 600x1 amps

You guys must be looking for the ultimate sound systems. My first Mustang, an 85 GT, sounded terrible. The new cars are so nice compared to those I don't even need to consider aftermarket.

 

[zporta]

Ultimate, no. Custom to my liking, yes

I don't have a Nav car so I wanted to add a touch screen double din. I figured while its all out I might as well make it look good and sound better.

Here are a few progress pics

The floor will be black carpet and the face of the box will be painted blue with white stripes to match the car

The two square holes is where the amps will mount flush in the floor and the SVT is cut out of 1/8" wood and glued to the floor. So when carpeted it gives a raised letter effect

I got it, I'll talk to him in the next day or two

Here is one of the custom door plates to hide the 4" and tweeters behind the factory speaker location

The factory door woofer will be replaced by the 6" focal speaker

Alright let me know. DSI dropped their price to 3450 for the high end mosconi amp and 3000 for the entry level (which is still a damn good amp). They have about 14 square feet of hushmat and 11 square feet of hush mat foam to be used for the doors and rear deck.
