Build My System Please!

[PearlWhiteGT]

Hello everyone! I'm new to all this audio stuff & just bought a pre-owned 2001 Ford F150 Supercrew 4X4. Everything is stock all the way down to the speakers. I'm not looking for anything crazy at all. Just want something that sounds good in the inside of the truck. Maybe a single 10" sub too. So what 6x8 door speakers, head unit, sub-woofer & amp would you guys recommend? I'm not trying to spend a lot of money either. Just something that is simple but sounds good too.

Thanks!!!

2 jl w1 either 10's or 12's in a pre-made to fit truck box or custom built

find a decent 1,000 rms amp, kenwood is straight but i would recommend something a little better

Pioneer premier head unit or some sort

Look at some CDT 6x8's component sets if you plan to run them off of an amp, if not find some cheaper coaxial's, i recommend a nice component set or 2

if you want to buy everything new than the cheapest sight i have come across in my car audio life is sonicelectronix.com

lookin at about 180 for both subs

100-150 for box(maybe more)

250-400 for decent amp

300+ for head unit

speakers can be all different prices, lets just say about 180 for a decent pair

and if you decide to go with component system for speakers look at about 200-230 for decent pair and 250-350 for decnt 4 channel am70 bucks for wires and harnesses etc...

lookin at about 1300 cheapest if you do it yourself with reliable good equipment that you will be satisfied with.

maybe some image dynamics components or coaxials

Would one 10" or 12" sub work alright instead of running two of them? Where is a good place to get a pre-made box for my truck?

Would these sound alright in the truck?
