[QUOTE="SpeedingPenguin, post: 492936, member: 555881"] Hi I'm buying an 86 Camaro for a CHEAP price, (450 bucks, runs and drives good!), but theres no sterio in it at all......it had one before, but part of the reason its so cheap is that i told the guy he can keep the head unit (old JVC) and knock off a hundred bucks (origionally was asking 550). Anyway, I'm saving my money for a V8/6 speed swap (v6/5speed now), so I dont have much money to spend. I've looked around this forum as well as some other forums, and although i've seen some 'help me build a system on a budget' threads, I know that technology and prices change constantly, so a thread from a year, or even 3 months ago, probably isnt going to be the best I could get for my money. I'm willing to spend between 500 and 600 dollars, preferably closer to 500 though. Although i've read the car sterio cookbook (by mark rumreich), and browsed the forums and read site and stuff, I still am unsure about channels, bridging, ohms, etc., so i'm looking for suggestions as to what I should buy.... I want a set of components (Infinity I've heard is good, right?) for the front, a decent head unit (Alpine? Pioneer?), and 1 or 2 subwoofers. Not looking for something thats gonna make me deaf, just want some decent sound quality and clarity at higher volumes (not all distorted and stuff) If you could provide links to sites that have good prices on the items, that would be awsome too. I'd prefer to buy from one or two places, not 4 or 5, just cause i'd rather not have to deal with lots of different stores...makes it easier.... Thanks alot, -Chris [/QUOTE]
