I just received my speaker today. I haven't gathered all the parts for the box such as carpet, acousta stuff etc etc etc but did a comparison test wtih my Alpine 12" type R next to my Focal Utopia, both in similar conditions. Connected one to left channel and other to right channel. I think its heaven and hell difference. With this sub, the sound is so nice, I can almost sleep thinking I am getting a back and neck massage. wow is what I said. And I always thought speakers are speakers. Now I realise that I was wrong, terribly wrong.

Hello - Along the lines of getting an amp and subwoofer........

I recently got a I purchased the Sony CDXF5700 52-Watt XM Radio-Ready CD Receiver with MP3 Playback and 3 Pre-Amp Outputs along with four Infinity Reference INI 6002I 6.5" speakers.  I know it's nothing fancy especially after hearing the way it sounds in comparison to the factory system.  I'm almost ready to remove it all and return it and save myself the expense minus the headache of Circuit City's installation crew of course.   However, since I didn't get an amp and subwoofer, should I?  Maybe this would make all the difference?  I don't know because I'm not up on car audio........will someone gimme a hand with this?  Thanks.

Not yet. I tested at home. I will be testing in car as soon as I get all my parts that I ordered from partsxpress for the speaker building project, then I'll get 1" MDF or double layered 3/4" and get to work. I cant wait to test it in car. (Even at home, there is a vaste difference in quality between the 2 subs. good vs superb)

If your factory system is not very high quality, you will be better off adding an amp and a sub. Of course you would have to do more work such as matching the sounds such that the sub does not overpower the remaining speakers or vice versa. Also if you have a good quality head unit or mp3 player, it will only do justice to the music to pass through a good quality amp and speakers/sub to enjoy the system to its fullest.
Depending on how much you want to spend, your options are almost unlimited.

jonwaterhouse, a 4 channel amp would help the sound greatly, so would a different cd player...best sub and amp? - Page 6 - Last Post -- posted image.
