z24 sound system

i had just purchased a 98 z24 and noticed that the speaker system is quite subpar. I heard that changing the system/electronics like an amp and subs could effect the the effiency of the engine? i was wondering what would be some decent brands too look into for this type of car. thanks.

Audiobahn, Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer, JL Audio, Kicker, MTX to name a few

i dont know, i love my stock Z24 system, it sounds better than the 400 dollar system i put in my old car. Then again i have a 2001, so its a different head unit i believe.

Put whatever you want in the car.

I have a 2001 also, and i couldn't the paper cones on the stock speakers. Granted the stock system is pretty good, but i like my music loud and can't handle hearing the paper when the bass hits.

Of course I don't have a Z24 either, so your stock sound system is better than mine I'm sure.

I just bought a 2002 z24, and altough the stock system doesn't sound bad, i put in a Pioneer DEH-8600MP head unit, and haven't even changed the speakers yet and it has made a world of difference....Take a look at what KustmAce put down.. Those are some great brands.. I had an MTX Thunder 12" in my last car and it was great...But shop around and find what you like..

JL is best for subs in my opinion. A bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. I will eventually have some jl w7s. Even if its in my dreams lol.

Yeah, I have 2 Audiobahn Flame Q's 12" 2200 watta a peice with 2 2000 Watt soundstorn amps and Everything rattles in my car but it sounds great with the back seat down. :) kinda blow your ear drums but its way worth it with the looks of my car and the looks from the bass.

did you have to replace your back window with plexi glass?

Nope, all my glass in my car is stock, I have not broke a window yet, but the side and the rear veiw windows dont work because when turn my subs on they just vibrtate till' there pointing down. Oh well who cares, I dont use those anyways.

haha yeah my mirror thing is loose from the bass to so everytime i get back in the car i have to readjust it

Its not ever worth it to re adjust everytime i get in the car. In 30 seconds their back down again. I wonder if there is any way to get all the rattle out of my car? that is like a dream of mine... :)

dynamat and a lot of expanding foam lol

The expanding foam will stop the rattle? i know dynamat will, but i didnt think i have enough money to dynamat the whole car, and anyways, dynamat on the outside of my dash and everything would look kinda dumb
