Build a $800 dollar system, what would you go with

[Jimg]

I already have a Kenwood excelon 793bh head unit



it has basic time alignment. I can set separate tweeter and midrange crossover settings

so let’s spend $800 on the amp, speakers, and subwoofer

looking to have a set of tweeters. What would you use

a set of 5 1/4 front door speakers What would you use

no rear speakers

looking at two 8 inch subs. I want to go sealed on the box. I need to keep it small if I need to take it out


i would like to use a 5 changed amp, But I am also ok with a 4 channel amp and a separate sub amp if it would work out better

Tight, yes. But I think it can be done and still sound way better than factory


i am looking at tweeters in the $100 or less range
massive ct2 tweeters $75 is what I am looking at

5 1/4 size mids in the front doors. infinity kappa perfect $200

subs. In the $200 range. NVX VSW8,s. $100 each

amp. 200 range Rockville db55 is $180


i have wire and fuse, distribution blocks from a previous build
so can save the cost on the install

this leaves $145 to build the box, rca cables, other minor things that will be needed

Are there better options than what is listed above

 

[Jimg]

Used is ok also

just looking to get the max value and sound on $800

I would go the Pioneer 8704 over that rockford all day long

Come with 2 Refurbished 10" Sundown SA V1 Rev 3 along with a Sundown SFB 1500.1 for 479.99 plus the 200 roughly for the pioneer you are at 680

You can then do Silver Flutes in the 5.25 that will be 50 for the pair

Silver Flute W14RC25-04 ohm 5-1/2" Wool Cone

Silver Flute W14RC25-04 5-1/2" Wool Cone Woofer - 4 ohms Features include rubber surround and robust cast metal frame

And then for the tweeters you have many options...The Alpines for 40 bucks shipped

2pcs pair alpine vifa XT25 28MM dome Nd magnet car audio hifi tweeter 4ohm100W | eBay

This model was OEM from Vifa, (Vifa XT25 series). They are the models that Alpine stoped to produce. At this price level we bet it's one of the best car tweeters. Sounds soft ,warm and detaily. Showing the dust cap and cone without net cover.

rover.ebay.com

Or a set of Massive CT2s

Robot Check

So if you went that route with the massives you would be at 825.00

With the Alpine tweeters you would be at 790 so 2 options.

Don't buy rockville...junk..Also NVX compared to ID or Sundown...yeah go with the ID or the Sundowns all day long. Not bad subs but the other 2 are better imho.

 

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

Is this budget including wiring and box?

 

[Jimg]

Just equipment on the $800

I have a lot of the wire , fuse blocks , distribution blocks ect already

 

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

Ok. Well for $800 I have bought used and new. I have purchased Infinity Kappa 690csx (open box) for $180, Zapco ST4D for $150 for front stage. You can get a good setup for $800

 

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

Honestly, its harder in my opinion to get a lot of budget stuff because of the whole economy. A lot of stuff is out of stock because of everything going on with us and China

Silverflutes and ct2 tweeters
Two Dayton HO 8s.
NVX VAD11005 amp.

$700

 

[SlugButter]

I just received the Dayton ultimax 8 inch sub in the mail. Really nice looking subwoofer. modeling software is showing that it is excellent for sealed applications. I’m using it in a 4th order bandpass due to its efficiency in that enclosure. Good xmax for an 8.

 

[Firewalker]

I would take NVX amplifiers over their subs all day long. Those have usually met or exceeded their RMS on dynos. Also yeah those Daytons in the 8s or 10s sound decent in sealed setups.
