New System

[CudiW]

I'm looking to put a system in my car. It's been years since I've shopped for car audio and since I got a new car I'd like to install a brand new system.

I have 2013 Subaru Impreza

I am looking to change out, head-unit, the door speakers, purchase a new amplifier and sub-woofers, and an enclosure.

I was looking to spend around $1500 for everything and since I was so out of the loop lately with the car audio stuff I figured I'd ask here if anyone can help me out getting the best bang for my buck.

I'm looking for obviously a high quality clear sound from the door speakers, and I'm a huge bass head so I'd love some nice clean deep bass. Any tips or links would be super helpful, thanks a lot!.

Are Alpine Type R/S's still a decent buy ?

Also, if you think $1500 isn't enough for something with some loud bass and clear sound let me know. I'm flexible but would LOVE to keep it below $1500.

Are you more a long the lines sound quality or sound pressure?

Alpine type Rs from my experience are good subwoofers and have sound quality and get loud all at the same time. Get 2 d4 type Rs, the new 750 rms ones. And a skar rp 1200. Skar Audio has good amp lots too for cheap. Massive audio make decent doors speakers for cheap. U can get a kenwood excelon entry level stereo for $99 to $119.

My first recommendation would be to look into sound proofing. Subarus are noisy and would definitely benefit from having some deadener in the doors and the trunk.

You for real bro?

The alpine type r subs are $185. U can probably get 4 dual 2 ohm type r subwoofers and a skar rp2000.1 for $240. I would do that. That’s a little more than $900 in subs and amp and a little over $1000 with the head unit. And the speaker are less than $40 a pair. So u can probably get a more expensive amp. But that’s what I would vote conservatively for a type r budget build not knowing what kind of bass u like.

Don’t tell me u r one of them skar bashers? Skar are good amps for the price. I would run one.

I was under the impression that he wants bang for the buck

Or instead u can get a Cab 2000.1 instead of the rp 2000.1

Yes I am. Schlenker is a piss poor human being.

Now for my vote on a setup for that price range but not type r would be a Sundown sae 1500 amp and 2 sundown sa 12s. $450 for the subs and $550 for the amp. Then u still have $500 to play with.
