Okay so first off I have set a poll at the top of the page for all you guys to let me know if I am going in the right direction to help a very good friend of mine get some nice quality BUDGET stuff. He owns a 2003 civic LX... very clean car and he wants to beef it up with a complete system but doesnt want to spend an arm and a leg(like most of us). What is very nice about this is I work at tweeter electronics and get Direct discounts from all Alpine, Sony, Pioneer, MTX, JL Audio, Focal.... those are pretty much the main brands we carry. Now I get pretty big discounts on this stuff compared to ebay. Here is what I have so far. just to let you know everything is priced brand NEW
Head Unit- Alpine iDA-X001 for $200- Full Integration
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5466
Front Speakers Either: he needs coaxes, he doesnt want to do component.
Alpine SPR-17C for $60
http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SPR-17C
OR:
Pioneer TS-D601P for about $60-70(not sure somewhere in that range though)
Now for his rear speakers, He can get the Alpine SPR69C's for $64 BUT I have heard GREAT things about the PIONEER REVS throughout this forum and other people as well...He can get the TS-D901P for roughly $60-80
So thats what I have for front speakers. Hence I can get some good prices on these speakers, im trying to make the best of it ya know? Okay so this is the amp I have to power them...
Alpine PDX-4.100 I can get this for $200 flat
Or I can go with this Pioneer amp PRS-D4100F I can get this for about $160-200 or so.
OR WHAT AMP WOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR THESE SPEAKERS?? I do want to get the full RMS out of them, I wouldnt want to undercut them.
last but not least...His subwoofer and sub amp.
Subwoofer: Alpine SWE-1242 I can get this for like $40-50.
Sub amp: Alpine MRP-M450 I can get this for about 80-90$
FULL SYSTEM COST ABOUT: $650-$700
And I forgot to add that were going to dynamat his doors while the panels are off, I get 75% off that stuff at work as well.
Okay guys so there is it. Full front and rear 4 speakers, subwoofer, and amp. I think at great prices. All of the wiring/install will be done by me and my friend, along with one other person maybe and I can get all the wires and installation materials from work for free as well.
ANY INPUTS ARE APPRECIATED. PLEASE VOTE TO TELL ME IF I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO GIVING MY FRIEND A GOOD BUDGET SYSTEM. HE IS NOT AN AUDIOFILE LIKE ME, SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS SYSTEM IS FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON..Thanks so much guys! Like said PLEASE input on anything you think I may have left out. ANY suggestions!!!
