[Blakout16]

Well - i'm probably gonna get flamed for not using the search engine somehow. haha but neways i have 1000 dollars roughly for the spending and i wanted to put it into audio components, and seeing i have a girlfriend who is deaf - cant hear, i wanted more of a bump setup to make the car shake apart :-P and i want a decent setup up with subs, amps... and what not. thanks for you help, i have no clue what nething is in audio btw.

you kids now a days with your fangled music and wanting it all loud dont you know people are try'n to sleep?

I have a few brands Im partial too for different componets.

Pioneer makes a nice deck for the price either this years model Pioneer DEH-P7700MP or I prefer last years DEH-P7600MP, not too big of Uni-Knob/Euro-Knob on the 7700 but it gets the job done, anywhere from the 180-220$ range.

I know ill get it for this one, the Power Acoustik LT980/2, yeah there not known for the best sound quality but for the price you cant go wrong, Ive personaly had the 980 for 1.5years strong with no problems.

Kicker CompVR CVR124 for a sub, its cheap, decent SQ and its cheap.

Dont forget your 4gauge install kit a good set of RCA's and your set. I probley wouldent reccomend upgrading your factory speakers unless they are blown, but any higher end deck will have a HPF(high pass filter) option that lets you set how much bass goes to the mid range best to set at 150hz.

Good Luck.

I have a sub setup for sale in the buying selling forum. It is a complete audiobahn setup with 2 awc12t subs and an A8002t amplifier. Comes complete with competition rated bandpass box. Great system, and real loud. I've only had it installed for about 2 months so it is practically brand new. Check it out.

great, keep the ideas comming

$1000, eh?

mid-line alpine deck, about $250.
infinity ref. coaxials, powered off deck, about $70 shipped from ebay such as here
subwoofer power coming from a hifonics brutus
and i liked the earlier suggestion of kicker subs. for lots of thump with a little bit of sound quality, i like kickers. find a couple of comp 12s on ebay and throw them in a ported enclosure wired in parallel and you'll be happy.

that should put you in at under $100. it'll leave you more than enough to purchase materials for building an enclosure and wiring and stuff like that. you don't, by any means, need to use these exact components, but they are tested products that people have been happy with.

peace
