I have been wanting a sound system for some time, and I have one put on layaway. I have no idea how the installation works, what the amp hooks to or anything. (lol) I have the opportunity to pay it off tomorrow, however im having second thoughts.. Consists of: Alpine Type-S 4x6 for my doors Alpine Type-S 6x9 for back deck Kenwood headunit - not sure which one All of the wiring, wire harness etc.... but here is where im kinda caught up. The business where I was buying all of this from has 2x Coustic 10 inch woofers that comes with a box and amp for $310.00...I think? (Receipt is at home with everything in detail, im posting this at school) Now, call me a noobie, but I was thinking I wanted to go all Alpine, and just get the 10" Type-S woofers too..but then I would have to pay for a box and amp. If I did that, what amp should I pick up? Would this be a smart move? Is there something better than the Coustic's available in the same price range including the box and an amp? I have no idea and im completely lost as far as the sound system goes for my car. All in all with everything I have listed, its costing a subtotal of $850.00, not including installation. Also by the way, the place says that I can switch out anything on layaway, but it has to increase in cost...not decrease. I was told that the Coustic 10's that I have picked out run head to head with the Kicker Comps. I would much appreciate it if you guys would enlighten me and point me in the right direction. THANKS SO MUCH!! |
