[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8838322, member: 674149"] $2k is not bad. The first question would be: Do you want BASS? If you do, then you need sub(s), an amp, wiring + extras like fuse holders and fuses, and the big 3. If you want a subwoofer that just sounds good with the music, then you MIGHT be able to get away with not upgrading an alternator (if you are on stock). If you want bass that you can feel, expect you will need an alternator too, and between the electrical upgrades, a cheap sub and amp, and unless you can find some serious deals, then there goes half your budget. Any decent head unit should be $100-$150, unless you want navigation, and then you are closer to $1k for a good one. If you haven't bought anything, then I would suggest planning out your entire build, unless you find a screaming deal on something you might want, (feel free to post it in here and ask, and we can usually give you a good idea if it is). 4th of july (and black friday), are usually the good audio sales for the year. This is also a link I always post that I think has great deals. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.woofersetc.com/sale.html#limit=50&mode=list&order=price&dir=asc&p=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
