Budget SQ system
|
New member Username: White_z71Houston, Texas Fort Bend Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-04 | Algith guys, I have a few bucks to spend roughly 1,000. I have a 1997 chevy, but it's lifted so I have loud tires. I want a SQ system not a system that hits really hard and over powers your highs. I don't know much about systems at all. I know I need to buy a wiring kit and speaker wire. Other then that this is my first system. I m ordering everything from etronics.com except for the speakers which are coming from theZEB.com. So far I know what I want a Alpine Head unit 9813 about 300$, then the JBL 600.1 220$, Type-R subs 10" about 200$. Then CDT midrange speakers 6.5 for the fronts 90$, not sure what size my back speakers are, but I figure about 90$ too. Then I just have to find a Box or make one. Hows this sound? |

sure_13 Unregistered guest | Doesnt sound like your on too much of a budget. . .I'd go with an actual dealer myself just so you know that everyone works the way you want it. Also you can get better subs than type-r's for that price! Just see what glasswolf has to say about this one. . . |

Then just scratch the back speakers and spend the 250 on a nice set of CDTs for the fronts. That will put me at about 1,200 with tax and after I build all the boxes and buy wires. Beter start saving up....thx guys. |

I don't check that box more than weekly or so if ya wonder why I didn't get back to ya. I saw it here first. look at www.edesignaudio.com at eD for good tens as well. they make outstanding subs, and they have very reasonable pricing, and sell directly. |

New member Username: White_z71Houston, Texas Fort Bend Post Number: 3 Registered: Apr-04 | Sweet, I'll go with those. I just got my price quote for my tires and there 1900$ with wheels. I was excpecting like 1,000 and use the wheels I have now, but the tires for 15" wheels are 6 ply which means 25,000 miles. So I have to buy 16" wheels so I get 10 ply tires....which put me at a 1900$ total in tires. And that was money going to this system. So it will be a while till I get enough money. I have alot to learn anyway, so now I'll just do some more reasearch. I wish someone made like a kit cause Im so confused on which wires I have to buy, exactley how to build the box, ect. Jeez this stuff is confusing...yall all deserve madd props on helping me out. Thanks again |
