If you install and either build a box or buy a quality prefab box you can have a really nice system that wont cost you anymore than $500-700 or so...

the HU will be under a bit more stress being required to pump out more current than expected... I'd guess it'll be ok unless you have it cranked for long periods. Personally I'd just find a budget amplifier...

either one of these tweeters: https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/auto-tweeters/seas-prestige-27tffnc/g-h1396-1-textile-dome-tweeter/ from china, pretty quick delivery though: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335951755&icep_item=222186264721...

What amp and tweeters did you already order? It seems you could have went with 2 pairs of component speakers front and rear for the same if not less cost... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335951755&icep_item=392637290407

You could probably cut your budget nearly in half and still come up with a system you would be very happy with. No need to throw money away. Strong front midbass is overrated. It's one of the least important parts of this entire build, imo. Not where my money would go. Sure it is nice, but it...

Yikes. Overpaid is an understatement...

F*cking crazy mang. lmao.

excellent, thank you!

Taramps HD 3000 seems like everybody's go to for small footprint & low cost. Even though it can produce far more wattage than I would need. (at the moment) Any other recommendations? It would be nice to be closer to the 1200-1500w @ 1ohm range for $100~ or so. I'm comfortable spending the extra...

Save $100 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335951755&icep_item=233377063990

Have you measured the pre outs on it? What are the results?

Could go with 4 8's https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335951755&icep_item=263196719715 or a single ported if you really want to maximize output. If you choose this route, you're going to want to go with a single 500w~ sub...

So you're thinking about going with something like this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335951755&icep_item=322728617361 with the 2 Alpine 12's? For the money I don't see you getting much better at your price point. You wont have to worry...

Amplification is needed to get louder. Simply swapping out a door speaker or tweeters is not going to solve your issue.

On the right track. $50 is far far far too much to pay. Could buy a $10 solidering kit from walmart and watch a youtube video. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. A shop would legitimately be able to fix this in 2 minutes.
