Looking at new stereos for the CV and the SHO. Here's what I'm thinking. All opinions welcome...

1989 Taurus SHO with Factory JBL
Current:
Sony CDX-FW5700
Factory amp bypassed
factory JBL speakers run off HU

Proposed:
JVC KD-S100

Infinity reference 6832cf

01 CVPI

All factory down to the AM/FM radio

Proposed:
JVC KD-S100
http://outlet.crutchfield.com/p_105KDS100/JVC-KD-S100.html?cc=07&tp=5684
Infinity Reference 6832cf all the way around

Use the Infinity speakers. Those other ones have foam surrounds. That deck seems perfect for that price.

The Infinity speakers will also sound way better with just the head unit. They have a sensitivity rating of 93db. Thats great!

That's alot of features for the price. Good shopping. That's a nice little budget setup there.

Infinity makes great stuff. You can never go wrong with them, as long as you can afford them.

That's alot of features for the price. Good shopping. That's a nice little budget setup there.

That was my exact thought also. Plus later on those speakers can be amplified without worry.

screw the stereo, buy a catback, way better sound

 

[russrad25]

nah..doing a clutch instead of a catback this year.

I do not like JVC and I do not like Infinitey Reference series. You will not be disappointed with an Alpine deck and speakers. You'll pay a little more but you get what you pay for.

BTW I'm sick of people saying they'd rather listen to motor/exhaust. It's such a cliche. Yeah it sounds cool when you're ripping on the car but what if you go on any sort of trip? Would you really rather listen to exhaust for 3 hours than a good sounding stereo? No, you wouldn't.

JVC makes one of the worst head units in my opinion. Thats why you can get so many options at such a low price. Its Pioneer for me. Some people complain about the complicated sound settings and other menu settings but when you figure it out the results are amazing. The infinity speakers are a good choice. Also consider JL Audio's mids and highs. Expensive but worth it.
