Mazda3 HB sound set-up suggestions

[arielt72]

Hi to all. Just want to get your suggestions on a good SQ set-up for Mazda3 Hatchback. Here's one I got from another forum:

changed them to:
- infinity reference 6800 CS - front
- infinity reference 6800 CF - rear
- these are 5x7/6x8 which are just direct replacements for the stock speakers

then added:
- infinity basslink for the sub

Is this already a good SQ set-up? How does Infinity compare with JL in terms of sound quality and value for money?
Does the Infinity Basslink give enough bass?

Hope to hear from you guys, specially from the sounds gurus.
Thanks!

P.S. Need to get prices too and where to get them cheapest.
P.M. me if necessary.

infinity reference is good naman.had some old school models..yes, they are more "sq"...and as always, discussing 2 brands that you havent heard perform will be a very difficult task.

audition the brands that you have in mind and then decide from there.

ps: we, in kotseaudioclub, will have our GRAND EB this coming saturday, nov 20 at pioneer center in pasig.

please do come.newbies are encouraged to come since alot of set ups are going to be available for audition.

registration starts at 1pm onwards.

Thanks for the advice. What time is the EB?
I'll be there for audition n din. I was eyeing an all JL set-up after hearing the Xtrail at motorshow last month at megamall. The Infinity naman, I saw at Autosport mega pero di ko narinig tumunog. Btw, i just live in mandaluyong, and I get my groceries at Pioneer Center.

infinity is a very good brand imo. i've been using them for years (both home and car audio).

however, if you're looking for SQ, you won't get very far with 5x7 or 6x8's. spend the extra money and get separates.

also, the Basslink doesn't have enough power or the capability to get the ultra-low frequencies that you'll need for SQ. i would suggest a conventional subwoofer that's at least 10" in diameter.

Infinity is a very good brand when it comes to sq set ups, get separates for your car :D

Dito ba mapupunta ang pagbe bentahan mo ng Honda hatch mo? ayusz! hehehehe

patingin, padinig, pasakay! :D

I don't know much about sound systems but I did notice that we use Infinity Kappa 6x9 car speakers in our Opthalmology OPD. It gets power from (what I think is) a Pioneer home tuner.

Sounds great. hehehe.
