Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my sound system. Not looking at anything over the top, just replacing the oem speakers with something better, an amp and possibly a small sub.
Can anyone recommend a quality installer in Jhb (preferable in the north) who would also be able to give me a shopping list.
Thanks

Re: Installer and advice
From what you explained, I'd say go for a good true 75rms 4ch amp with a split system and one 10" sub. Should sound great.
Amp/Splits brands : Alpine, infinity,JBL,Herts etc
Sub : digital Design, alpine, Rockford,Herts,kicker,Infinity,Mtx etc

Re: Installer and advice
Ifi had to choose
Amp : JBL/pioneer
Splits : infinity or JBL. Remember that infinity splits are pushing 90rms, that JBL amp has 65rms only.
Sub : JBL. I like the bass it gives.

Re: Installer and advice
Sorry bud I forgot to mention, before you buy that setup, go speak/find to your installer. Reason why I say is some of them already have good packages available and suited to your car, might even work out cheaper getting from them.bully wrote:Great! Thanks for the help.keval wrote:Ifi had to choose
