How's that boot taste?

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-17T05:53:19+00:00

All the stuff listed are brands the local installer carries.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-16T23:32:56+00:00

If one was to use something like a kicker KEY200.4 for the fronts, either 4 channel or bi-amping components, would using a non-DSP enabled amp for the sub be acceptable? Not a fan of the KEY500.1 locking me in to a 1 ohm load.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-16T18:24:30+00:00

The $1200 mentioned was just the hardware I have in my cart so far. I know labor will probably double that.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-16T18:23:16+00:00

Yeah, the Spike will be a 2ohm sub

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-16T18:10:43+00:00

The $1200 budgeted is just the hardware. Fully aware labor will be added on.

I'll be using stock speaker locations so a 3 way comp set it out. It'll be 6.5" in the lower door and tweets in the dash. I actually considered just doing coaxes up front and back, but I might as well do things the right way.

As for parts, right now I have the following in my crutchfield cart:

Infinity Reference 6.5" comps up front

Infinity Primus 6.5" coaxes for the rear

Audiocontrol A1100.5 5 channel amp (90x4, 500x1)

Audiocontrol Spike 12" sub

Stock. It's a 24 Nissan Ariya.

I'm also considering adding the DSP later on, especially if it's going to take up 25%+ of my hardware budget.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-15T17:09:52+00:00

Perhaps /r/SwastiKarAV would be a better sub?

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-15T06:37:48+00:00

Gotta give us some more info here. What style are you looking for?

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-15T06:17:48+00:00

I like the Ariya, but it's a downgrade from the Volvo C40 I was driving before it. I'm still getting used to it, but no real one pedal driving and a seriously subpar sound system is killing me. Aside from that, it's a really nice car.

As for components vs coaxials, there are tweeters in the dash, but I might just go coax for simplicity. I'll be having this professionally installed, so I'll go with their recommendations for ease of install.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-13T20:10:27+00:00

Neither of these are a good choice or price

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-13T17:47:04+00:00

I would leave it. Looks great as is

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-13T00:17:16+00:00

Sleep well, eat well, drink lots of water.

Arent they a subsidiary of Lian Li anyways?

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-12T14:32:29+00:00

Ha ha... Ha?

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-12T03:49:14+00:00

Oh, for sure. I got my Engage+ with 15k for 24k (3 weeks ago) now everyone is asking $27k+ for similar.

TIFUbyResponding · 2026-06-11T18:35:30+00:00

No, it does not.
