get a saz 1000 a single sa-12 for deck not sure what all he needs it to do but look for good preouts for the sub amp and get a nice tsunami wire kit.

look n classifieds im sure you find a deal 800 isnt much when you need everything but like mentioned a nice single sub would be a good start. make sure to get quality products and not junk that will need to be upgraded and run you more in the long run.

This. See if you cant find a cheep 860mp or 9855 or something in that age range. youll get 4-8v preouts. Get a 5 dollar aux cable and toss 150 in an older HU and youll be set with TA, 3 way crossover, the works. 150

Knu Is cheap as balls. I got enough 1/0 / RCAs / etc for like 70 bucks for the big three and a run to the back. 70 for wire

Find a recone or saz or amp of that calibur to push the sub. 1kw is gonna be tops though. I figure 300 there if youre good hunter.

get some PG comps or Cadence comps for like 50 bucks on ebay. 100 there

you can get some smaller amps that would cover the 4ch for 60- 100

CACO and CA and ebay should put you just under 800 to do everything conservatively.

AP1500 - $170

DC Level 3's - ~200ea

KDC X-693 - 130

Wiring, box materials - $100

Total - $800

Will not sound like a budget build. The AudioPipe amp has worked for alot of people. Though obviously it is the most budget item listed. For ~200-250 you could get an AQ1200d, SAZ, SAE 1200.

That Kenwood H/U has great features and abilities for it's price range. I have it in my Suzuki and enjoy it.
