Well my dad mentioned to me today that he is looking into getting me a gift card for an audio system for Christmas. Now, knowing my dad, it will probably be somewhere around $500-750. If you think that's not enough please don't bash me... tell me like a mature person would.

So, ultimately I would like a receiver, subs, and an amp. Keep in mind I LOVE hip-hop and bass and have the upgraded Pioneer system... don't know if that matters... So my question is:

what should I get for the money?

I've been looking around at "various stores" and Cruthfield.com but don't know what to go with at all. Anything helps but please don't bash me. Thanks.

 

2 12" cvr subs and an alpine amp good sound and will blow your brains out. cvrs kik like mules

 

thanks...

any other suggestions..?

 

wow my dad just told me the same thing lol

i get 500-700 dollar sound system for Christmas

so bump for the info!

 

nice..!

::bump::

 

my suggestion is that whatever you get will you please match it...alpine subs=alpine amp, kicker subs=kicker amp, etc...especially if ur getting the stuff brand new...these companies make their products to sound at there peak together

 

yep will do... does it matter that I have the upgraded pioneer system..? If I'm not changing out the rear deck/door/tweater speakers, should I still stay with Pioneer..? How bout the Headunit..?

 

Dont get a gift card, get him to get you the cash. your best bet is to buy the stuff from amazon.com.

that is where i got almost all my stero stuff an i couldnt find a better price anywhere. my system all together costed about 3k. if i bought it in best buy or circuit city it would of costed close to 5.5k

dont get some lame ass system from bestbuy, like the "west coast custom" subs. Find a good deal on amazon. and dont go cheap on wires either, that is one of the most important parts. Get Rocksford Fosgate install kit. It has everything you need all in one package and they make some of the best wires.

 

thanks... I've been looking at ALL of rockford fosgate's products and they all seem pretty decent for the price. Anyone know how that setup would sound..?

 

you dont really have to match anything. If so i would be fucked. But seriously as long as you match your RMS numbers on the amp and subs your fine

they have nice equipment. One of my favorite brands actually

 

so you think any rockford fosgate products would be suitable..? Or is there a series of the punch's I should get..?

thanks for all your help... keep it coming if you have more..!

 

rockford fosgate is in fact the ****, lol, and ya, the punch series is really under-rated IMO

 

sweet... I'm looking at a 4 OHM 12" Punch stage 2... any idea on what amp I would need to power it..?

also, can I keep my factory amp and have that power the rear deck and door speakers..?

can someone look below and let me know if this looks good..?




the subs are buy one get one free... BTW...

opinions..? anything I'm missing..?

anyone..?

don't be scared...

theres a pretty sweet bass package that im probably gonna buy

 

i have the t500 power series amp from r.f., that powered the p2's great, i believe you want to go for the 2 ohm tho...however i probably will be corrected by some1's 2 cents!

 

btw in your cart you only have one sub not 2, u might wanna consier that for your price...

 

^^^ i thought that too but its buy one get one free

 

damn nice find... I like that a lot... not too sure about space in trunk though but it would be great...




I've been talking to another guy and he's talking me into 4 8" Rockford Fosgate Punch's Stage 1 powered by a nice amp and then worrying about the HU at a later date... what do ya'll think about that..?

come on guru..! any advice..?

 

i have that exact setup, hits hard!

 

the fosgate 8s are really nice. at work were actually having an 8 off persay.

honestly alot of it has to do with the box any that bass slammer bs is just that.

Merry Christmas!!


That's actually not bad for a beginning system

 

I think that's what I'm going with...

thanks all for your help.

 

Hey man. Cruthcfield is actually costing you more money than necessary. Send me a PM telling me what you're looking for in a system. (Ex. big bass, sound quality, etc.) I guarantee you I can get you more bang for your buck than going through crutchfield.

 

i got a JL 12' sub and kenwood amp with instillation for 558.....defintely look at the JLs they are the best imo

 

You can have my equipment. I have a complete setup if you need. Subs Highs Mids and amps. PM me if your interested. Solo baric Rounds (old School) Very clean. JL 500/1 amp MB Quart QSD216 Top end Highs and mids, and a PPI PCX280 Amp very clean power.
