[QUOTE="macsdad, post: 8525997, member: 623697"] To be done properly, one must invest a a couple of thousand on just electrical upgrades, ie; high output altenator, a battery bank some can have a dozen or more batteries. Then another couple of thousand on a high grade amp for your subs. Then another couple of thousand for subs. Then you have to get an amp for your mids and highs, after about a thousand for those speakers. So around 6 to 10 thousand dollars. I have a fairly simple system in my car, soon to be an 18 inch sub-650, sub amp retails for 780, a small class d amp for my kids and highs-110, kids and high speakers I got good deals on, total of 60. About 450 in batteries for a total of around 1500, not including my head unit which was 240. This is probably my 40th variation in the past 10 years. It is an exspensive addiction, I mean hobby. The upgrade bug usually bites every 6 months or so, once your ears get use to what ever your are currently running, you will start asking yourself, what can I really fit in the real estate that I have.
