Thanks Boomin. I was a little disheartened to read that especially since I just graduated college almost a year and a half ago and I'm struggling to find my footing in the real world being swamped with debt. So $800 is A LOT to me. I hope I can make it work. I'm sure I can.

I'm now heavily leaning towards going with and IDQ 12. Is there anything better in the $200 range?

It is actually an avenger. I'd love a Dodge truck though.

Thanks I'm thinking about stepping up to the IDQ65 and getting a better amp for them later.

Thank you. I did factor in the wiring and head unit install kits and extras except the box into my $700 total. I've never spent more than $1000 or so on a system for a car and I've always had good results. I'm definitely not an audiophile or a bass head. What would you suggest though for the...

Thanks! Check your messages.

I think I'm going to go that route. If so then I can get everything I want for about $700 then I just need a box.

Thanks. How would you compare the Image Dynamics ctx65cs to the id65cs?

Thanks. What about the amplifier. I noticed the Dayton Audio is rated at 700w rms. Do you know of anything in that range?

Thanks. I really don't know where to start so I'm sure a lot of my choices aren't the best. I really appreciate the input. Yes I can build a box especially if I had the design. I've built a few before but I have all the tools I need. I think. Maybe some big vise grips for holding the wood...

Ok say I upgrade to Kicker components for $229, substitute the subwoofer, and add on the wiring i'll be looking at around $900 after putting together a box as well. Do you have any tweaks or recommendations for that setup? What about different component speakers?

Hi my name is Jake. I used to be on this forum 10+ years ago and I'm working my way back into car audio. I have a dodge and I'd like to get it pimped out. I wish I had more of a budget going in but it always seems to inflate itself one way or another. I like listening to house music a lot so...

Should I delete the subwoofer one? I wanted to do a build one and one for specifically subwoofers. I was thinking that was too much. I guess I'll delete the other one and keep this one.

Number of subs preferred: I prefer 1 or 2 subs Size preferred: 10-12" Budget:$2-300 Power to be used: JBL GTX 500 (500 watts @ 2 ohm) Space available: trunk is 40" wide at narrowest and 16" high and lowest point. Goals: have some ok bass at low/medium levels not a bass head Listening...

Ok currently I'm a long time car audio enthusiast looking to get back into the hobby. I want to spend my next few checks budget is roughly $800 and I'm looking at the following build so far and I'm wondering if anyone can give some input and some suggestions for possibly alternative components...
