Silver Member Username: Comp98Philadelphia, PA USA Post Number: 145 Registered: Sep-05 | Just wanted to see what other people are spending on thier car audio system. So far mines goes like this: Polk Momo Component 6.5 in front and 6 x 9 in back = $350 MB Quart RAA1000 = $310 MB Quart RAA4200 = $310 RE SX12 = $250 Box (w/ Carpet, terminal, feet, corners) = $110 Knukonceptz complete = $175 (1/0 guage, 4guage, 12 guage w/ fuses, fuse holder, RCA's and battery terminal) Streetwires Fuse Distribution block (power and ground) = $70 Total: 1,575 And this doesn't even include the new alternator I'll have to get: 240.00 and installation. (I don't want to crack my panals) |

Post Number: 1346 Registered: May-05 | "wow, i just couldnt bring myself to spend that much...$2000 would be about my limit." that's what the wife says too (at least thrice a month) it took some time, but an audiophile's search for the perfect system is never really complete. all sq. (eventually) switching to the '06 charger for pefection. this was a warmup, lol. |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassPost Number: 148 Registered: Jul-05 | issac, how do you like the zapco 750.2? i was looking at the 350.2 but i cant find anyone who has one. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4996 Registered: Nov-04 | I originally wanted C2K 6.0x but couldn't find any in my budget. 750.2 Reference did. It is right up there with the C2K series in spec and performance wise. Since I own 2 Zapco 30 band equalizers, I had no choice but to get Zapco for my components. If you can't find 350.2 amp, go for 750.2. It not only has more power, but isn't that far off. the cheapest I've seen so far was around $300. I paid $357. |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassPost Number: 149 Registered: Jul-05 | thats so cheep i just found a zapco retailer like 30 miles from my house so ill probably stop by there after school and check everything out. |
