$1,000 First Time System - Need Advice
Alright, I have a 2000 Toyota Solara, and I would like to get a better audio system. I want a new head unit, speakers, and subwoofer(s). I've never done this before, and as such would like to ask for advice, or suggestions. Also, I'm kind of confused about amp selection, as what would be needed. Overall, I just want my car's system to sound better, and need a few more experienced persons opinion.
What I've been looking at (maybe) - Still need some wiring and amp choice at least... just looking at Crutchfield
Alpine CDE-HD137BT - Head Unit - $219.99
Alpine SPS-610C - 6 3/4s and Tweeters - $129.99
Alpine SPS-619 - 6x9s - $119.99
Alpine SWR-1223D - 2x Subs? - $239.98
Sound Ordnance™ Bass Bunker - Ported Enclosure - $69.99
Re: $1,000 First Time System - Need Advice
crutchfield's prices are ridiculous, i would look somewhere else like sonicelectronix. also i would actually take the advise you get from others who will reply.
Re: $1,000 First Time System - Need Advice
i would diversify when it comes to the equipment, personally i like pioneer headunits, memphis door speakers, american bass amps and subs, and knukonceptz for wiring. though this time i might try some infinity door speakers since they are on sale right now.

Id run this. its a great deal right now
Amazon.com: Pioneer DEH-P9400BH Mobile CD Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth and HD Radio Tuner: Car Electronics $140
fronts?
JBL MS-62C (MS62C) 6-1/2" 2-Way MS Component Car Speakers System $180.
rears?

Subs?
Okay at most, but watch this. Alpine Type R Subwoofer Design Flaw - YouTube
2 SSA gcons are great subs. $380ish
Sundown sa 12 $300ish
obsidian subs $280ish
IA Lethal injections. $300ish
AA havoc. $320ish
For a box!? BUILD IT MAN.
you can get great output out of a box you build for $40.
and a design is cheap. $10-25. (more for extensive designs)
roughly youll be at $800. now you need an amp?
look used for deals.

Thanks for the opinion I'll look around more, the list was more of a round idea.
Re: $1,000 First Time System - Need Advice
Are there any good guides on how to make a custom enclosure? Any links would be appreciated.

my total system cost is like 1200 right now and all i lack is an 1/0 amp kit and door speakers. i even bought the box fro mobilesoundworks.com and its a good box not a cheap prefab but the same cost as a prefab.
carstereogiant.com
mobilesoundworks.com
onlinecarstereo.com
ssaudio.com/store
sonixelectronic.com
woofersetc.com
knukonceptz.com
all good sites crutchfield is good to just pricey i bet you could find all the product on your list cheaper elsewhere.
