Advice for a complete audio system upgrade

[Jon Scherf]

Thanks for the details, I didnt quite understand what all of the fuss was about earlier but now I do. If you guys vouch for these products then they are certainly worth a shot.

hey man no problem..most everyone here is glad to help but day after day we get "NOOBS" in here asking for advise and we tell them what we think and they just dont like it and dont want to listen so unfortunetly it kinda gets old and people get less helpfull...many people like yourself come on here because you want advise from real people other than your local dealers who try to force feed a name down your throat and we just try to open your eyes to the other side of car audio most never know about where you money buys you quality products..not a name....and there are more options out there then what i suggested but in my opinion its a very decent start...but there are other options if you just browse through some of the threads you will quickly see these brands are talked about quite often and wont hear to much about rockford or kicker or many others out there....but goodluck!!

I would go with the AudioPipe amp for sure since it is in your budget, I don't think you will find anything better unless you buy used.

These Phoenix Gold components were all the rage a little over a year ago.

RSD6cs - Phoenix Gold 6" Component Speaker System

some good things have been said about this driver, and it would help keep the budget lower

Amazon.com: Brand New for 2008 Phoenix Gold Rsdc124 Competition 12" 4 Ohm Dual Voice Coil 1,200 Watt Car Subwoofer **These Subs Are Extremely Heavy**: Automotive

Audio Que 4 channel amp is 50$ for the holidays... Might be a good option if you're buying now, otherwise you could get a comperable AudioPipe amp.

These components are supposedly very solid.

one of the best 15 inch subs for the price range will blow the type r out of there.
