Need some car audio help/advice
For now, let's say I have a budget of $1000. That is fairly flexible.

I'm spending more and more time in my car driving to and from work, so I think I want to invest some money into building myself a nice stereo system. I've had some experience with this type of stuff before, but am looking for help picking out a head unit, as well as an affordable option for subs and amps.

I'd like to have 2 amps. One for the subs, one for my mids and highs. I'm thinking I'd like to go with a pair of 12's or 10's.

When I buildt a system for my Mustang, I used almost all Kicker equiptment. I'm leaning towards using Kicker again, but am open to new brands. Also keep in mind I'll be doing all the installiaton, so no need to factor that into the budget.

Thoughts and advice would be appreciated!

So, per usual, I put this on the back burner because of other bills, life, etc.

Did a little browsing on craigslist and there are some high end subs/amps listed for fairly cheap. I'm sure I run the risk of the shit being stolen, but a lot of the listings say they will let you listen before you buy.

Maybe I'll just save the money...

you can get good sound from cheaper equipment... buy a decent head unit, say clarion, buy cheaper amps and a DUAL sub...most people overkill.. one 10'sub will rock any car,.

They were awesome back in the early 2000's.


MacDaddy's and their HEX components were sweet. They had a set of amps that were nice, too.

Check the any used speaker's resistance with a voltmeter before buying.


Even that won't catch coil rub.
