Nismo audio upgrade- critique my planned setup
Heres what I have come up with after searching and reading the board constantly for the last month.
Head unit What seems like the usual now on here the DNX-6140 sub: Bigaudiofan's fav the one amp route to power it all and take up less space increase stealthness The components Im not sure about SPX-17REF - Alpine 6.5" Type-X Series Component Set Thoughts, questions, concerns? Open to all advice.

Should be a great setup another option for speakers to look at woud be the polk sr series. Might even be a bit better than the x series.

Hmm looks good, I was thinking of upgrading my stock speakers, and running a single shallow mount 12" in the rear hatch spare tire well. The part where it got complicated for me is, I have the Kenwood DNX 9140, and I think I wanna run an amp to power the components, and then I guess a seperate for the sub?

I would upgrade to 7" sceen, I personally don't like the looks of the Kenwood models below the 9140. They have a cheapness to them
other than that, looks like a nice setup

That is a good set up but for not much more I would recommend the following:
Alpine INA-W900 - It has Bur Brown 24Bit DACs!!! A true High-End double din unit. JL Audio 600HD 4-channel (Add the Remote Bass Knob, its dead usefull) I feel JL HD amps are noticibly better than Alpine PDX amps. Focal Polyglass 165 VRs or PolyKevlar K2R Power Series. These in my opinion are the very finest 2-way car audio speakers under $600.00. They will blow you away! Zenclosures Speaker Box - JL Audio 12W3V3. In my opinion, the best SQ sub JL makes. Perfect match for the HD600 amp. or Stealth Enclosure by NAZAR with a JL 13TW5. This sub hits like a sledgehammer! EQ - Audio Control EQX - I highly recommend this unit!! Its an excellent 10V pre-amp and you can really dial everything in to perfection.

Off the top of my head...
pioneer ts-c720prs polk sr6500 hybrid clarus and legatia series morel dotech ovation zapco ck comps just to name a few... dont get me wrong some of focals higher lines are great ( anything with the TN series tweet) but to make the claim they are the best for the money is a little off. Id put JL and Focal in the same trendy overpriced range. if there comps were a cpl hundred less then it would be another story... |

You are right about the W6 being flatter than the 13TW5. I had to use steep crossover points and low settings plus a parametric eq to get mine to flatten out. What I really like about Focal speakers is that they have a strong midrange presence and crystal clear highs. This isnt for everyone, some people prefer a more laid back speaker. I love thier detail and crisp tight midbass they deliver. Thier home audio speakers are incredible! As much as I love JL's stuff I disagree with you about putting them in the same catagory as JL. Focal speakers are hand made and they manufacture all of thier components. They are a whole other league beyond JL Audio. To compare a set of Pioneer or even Polk speakers to Focal speakers is like comparing a turbocharged dodge neon to a Cayman S Porche Yeah it may keep up with it but it aint a Porche and it sure doesnt sound like a Porche.

Talked to the guy I plan on having do my install and he recommended the Hertz HiEnergy HSK165.4 & Hertz HX250D
Anybody have experience with these? Sub goes for 300 and components for 450.
