budget comps/amp thoughts... suggestions welcome, i'm a newb.

[mattxc 10+ year member]

i need to spend less than 500 overall. 500 is my max. here is what i'm thinking about getting.... and i'd like to hear some thoughts on my choices. suggestions are WELCOME, but i would prefer not to increase the price too much.

in addition to new comps and an amp, however, i'd like to make a few small upgrades to my electrical that i should have done way long ago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif so that really cuts into my budget.

the list:

-yellowtop up front - $150-180 depending on seller

-1/0 knu klmx for big 3 - 10ft at $1.75/foot = $17.50

-1/0 knu klmx kit power - $53

-speaker wire for fronts (preferably knu, i just dont know which one to buy from them, suggest some!) - $?

-knu karma ss 2chan rca's - $15

-hifonics txi 4008 2chan - $85

-PGRSD6.5's - $60

-dist block to separate the 1/0 into 2 4ga, which i will salvage from my current power wire - $15ish?

grand total - 410 or so, plus shipping.

how does this look for a budget comp setup? the hifonics amp, i know will make some people leery (including myself) but it is CHEAP! 85 bucks from sonicelectronix. hard to ignore that for me.

also i'm not sure what fuses i'm going to need to buy...

i welcome your suggestions, comments, flammage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif, etc

how do you get 1/0 for 1.75 a foot?

 

[fearof85 10+ year member]

This is what I would do

-Advance Autoparts Farm & Truck batt "group 31"- $80-100

-1/0 knu klmx for big 3 - 10ft at $1.75/foot = $17.50

-1/0 knu klmx kit power - $53

-knu karma ss 2chan rca's - $15

-My BNIB Soundstream PIC600.2 two channel-100

-My(2) BNIB Fusion Powerplant 3-way comp sets- $180

All together it comes out to $465.50 and that gives you two 3-way component sets and 600 rms for them, everything is brand new also. That's just me though.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
