hi guys,

anyone got a half decent stereo in their sierra?

I wanna buy a sierra but Im afraid Im going to miss the stereo in my Calais if i do...

[Fatzook]

Yep. Put one in a Maruti a few weeks back. Goes alright. Sub, amp, 6" splits. Not much room for anything else.

[atari4x4]

FYI don't buy a softop sierra if you want to keep you stereo gear.

[BlueSuzy]

Mine is a good Mono.

A big stereo in a sierra is asking for it to be stolen

Its only a 10" single voice coil. Shallow mount in .5cft sealed box behind passengers seat.

[abclarke]

Haha wog box zooks, saw a kitted out vitara with all the crap on it and LED valve caps with music going off. I just wanted to part out his car

[Bennyzarb]

Haha lol I have a 12" kicker sub 250 rms with a 750w pioneer 4 Chanel amp running 2 Sony explode 320 amp 6x9 s and a pioneer head deck with 2 240 amp 6" it goes well they definatly here me coming lol Realy clear sound

[alien]

i've got a pioneer deck with usb on the front which runs to two 6" 2-ways in the kick panels, and two 6x9" 3-ways in the rear door... all speakers are aluminium cones (not paper)... its just loud enough to hear the vocals on music when doing 110km/hr... in an ideal world i'd run an amp and a small sub, but i can't see either surviving the elements, let alone thievery.

[Rossco]

I built tool boxes that sit over the rear wheel arches. I mounted a 6x9 in each. Two 6" in front and a 12" sub in a box. I took the rear seats out, drilled holes through the bottom of the box and bolted it into the rear seat holes in the floor. The amp is screwed into the back of the sub box. Don't put anything in that you don't mind having stolen.

[Brenno]

15inch sub and amp, 2 x 6x9s in boxes (that can be removed from vehicle as they are on long cords), 6inch in front, speakers are running off a seperate amp. We have a fair few shindigs in paddocks/camping so we needed something that would pump. Was cheap (under $500).

[stockman]

I run a Sennheiser HD600 with ipod connection.

[zooky08]

Just got a pioneer stero with aux and USB, 4x 6" speakers, amp and 10" slim sub.
Backed into a dam, so good by amp now I run a 4 channel amp and have a 12 sub aswell. To go in

[reeceh]

I've got a tintop. Standard alpine hu that has iPod/USB/aux controls. Alpine ddlinear 6.5inch splits behind the front seats in the side panels. 2 four inch tweeters up near the kick panels. A oldschool 8inch alpine sub. And a little 2 channel ken wood amp. Sounds crystal clear and loud enough with just the right amount of bass.

[shlonga86]

Wow, impressed.

Any pics lads?

Might have to have a bit more of a dig through the forum to see what I can find

[tractorfactor]

im running a large setup in my sj50 high top ,it starts with a alpine head unit supporting ipod usb and cd ,then onto the 4"2 way splits in the original speaker position with the grills ,i also have 6.5 splits with separate tweeters that i have mounted in the heater ports on each end of the dash.and im also running 2X 12" jbl duel voice coil comp sups in a alberts ported box and 2X 10" soundstream subs in seprate sealed boxes ,will post pics up when i get a chance.

[Matthew]

OP, you will need to do some major deadening and insulation if you want to achieve any form of sq. The panels are just too thin.

[Jester]

yeah CD players went walkabout from my soft top vit, 4x45w clarion tape deck with a tape on a string running to an mp3 player does the trick for me, 2x kenwood 6in in doors, and 2x sony 4in in the factory dash spots

[shep]

Nope. Wouldn't hear it over my tyres anyway

Seriously do you really need more than a basic stereo in a Suzuki, even a $200 unit will be way good enough. When some sad fool sits at the lights with his stereo cranked no one says wow how good is that dudes stereo, everyone says what a wanker.

$160 fine for having it cranked as well.

[Daves4wd]

I've got a keenwood head deck with some pioneer 6 inch I think in the standard spot and pioneer 6/9 in the rear door that I got when I turned 18 hahaha tight ass system goes awesome got a sub amp and compaciter sitting in my room that I should whack in but I might blow the Zook to bits haha if you get a amp get response it's jaycar best bang for buck

Granted.

And most fools who cruise around with their stereos cranking for all the world to hear ARE wankers. But others just like to listen to music the way its supposed to be...... LOUD. I've owned quite a few big car stereos systems, and if it were at all possible to fit one to my ute, I would be doing so. I like bass. ( not for doof doof shit ) And all music sounds better when frequencies range from 60Hz to 20KHz, not just the crap that dribbles from supercheap $30 speakers.

[2stroker]

Pete music to my ears is a 2stroke full noise up a damp, dense bush track leaving a nice light wafting trail of blue smoke to fill the nostrils of the native animals as they scurry for cover. Sorry mate I just don't share the passion for the sound systems, I love music and have seen mre bands than I can remember but in the car I rarely have the stereo on except to hear the news or the morning talkshow type crap on my way to work.

[Fatzook]

Fair enough.

I have my MP3 on listening to the radio atleast 8hrs every day. I couldn't work without music to drown out the noise of the workshop, welder, phone , not to mention the racket my hardtop makes on the vitara.

[appsie]

you should come work with me pete. no radio in the work ute or shop makes 11 hour days very ordinary

Couldn't agree more Pete. I normally turn my music down at the lights in fear of looking like a wanker haha.

Same.

My first car was a hyundai excel. Bought it new. Drove it to the tint shop, got the windows done, then drove it to Northfield carsound, gave them $6k, and picked it up a week later.

As a 17yr old in a small hatchback, I avoided the embarassing traffic light encounters as much as possible
