Audio FAQ, Part 2 - LONG - Compiled posts
You will see that budget has alot to do with sound quality. For some, the fjammer system is good, I am no audiophile, but I was looking for a system upgrade. I have a JL 5channel amp, Alpine head unit (9857) with the factory aux input and steering wheel controls, Sirius module (in the head unit) and have Polk 6x9's in the doors, Polk DB400's in the rear pillars and Eclipse 3.5" in the dash and a Polk 8" DVC subwoofer installed in the factory sub box. I also have a Viper 5900 alarm/ remote start...total package installed was around $2700 bucks. I think it sounds very good, as do most who ride in my FJ. Not window shattering sound, but good, clean sound that is plenty loud for my ears. The toyota speakers are a joke, the 6x9's magnet is the size of a quarter, and weigh a few ounces, where as my Polk 6x9's weigh a few pounds each. I think the Fjammer system is overpriced, and would tell people to go with the base setup and save some $$$ for a decent setup. You will find quickly, that the factory head unit is weak on power when it comes to pushing upgraded speakers, an amp is a must for good clean sound.
Hope this helps,
Rob
