explain it to me like I am a noob

[andrew.brandon]

I am pulling the interionr out of the car and since I have blown at least 1 of the stock speakers I want to upgrade them all. I know I have 2 tweeters in the front, 2 6.5"(?) midranges in the front, and either 2 6.5 midranges or subs in the read seats, 2 tweeters in the hatch along with something else, 4" maybe? I have a good friend that is going to hook me up with some Blaupunkt gear at dealer price and all I need to do is tell him what I want. but I am not sure what I want. any idea's what would be a good product in the blaupunkt product line? should I just replace the stock speakers or get amps for them too since I do not have the monsoon system?

also I am going to be getting a new sub box from subthump.com and I was wondering what would be a good choice in 12" subs from blaupunkt since I can get them real cheep.

my XM service ran out yesterday and I need a new headunit to play cd as it is, so you guessed it I am going to get a headunit from Blaupunkt. I want one with Sirrus built into it. what would be a good one?

Call me crazy, but I don't think Blaupunkt makes any Sirius ready receivers. Instead they offer the America SR04 as an add on. That sucks. :( I know I wouldn't want that huge @ss thing in my car. As for subwoofers, there isin't much to choose from as you can see here . They have that clear looking entry line, which you can get a 12" for like 40 bucks new. Or they have the slim line made special for pickup trucks and such.

Does your friend work at a Blaupunkt dealer? Maybe talk to him a little more, but I think you might be better going with a different company for your gear. Does he sell any other brands? I'm not trying to knock Blaupunkt, but they really don't offer much for you.... [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

Yeah Andy, I would rethink Blaupunkt if I were you. We had some in Shelley's car a few years ago just because they were cheap, they didn't last long. Why don't you want xm any more?

[andrew.brandon]

I have sirrus free on dish network and after comparing both I like sirrus more. and XM alters the sound of the music some for some reason. listed to the same song on cd after you hear it on xm and there is a noticable diffrence

Well, can't beat it if it's free huh?

but I would be a ricer if I had the dish on the car soooooooooo
