[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4824324, member: 594758"] $300 for an entire "SQ" system? Installation parts and accessories will eat up most of that budget. I think if you are very carefull you can squeeze a complete basic system into that budget, but I don't think anyone will call it a "SQ" system. If you hunt around online for deals and used gear you can save alot, but it will take more time. Remember to consider shipping prices when comparing vendors and "deals". I dont' trust ebay dealers. I prefer an online vendor that has an actual store front somewhere. Yes, lots of people recommend the PG's for cheap components. I suggest a larger sub woofer to make better use of your limited power you going to get off a cheap/small amp. A 12" will give you alot more "bang" for your buck off the same 200 watts than an 8". Make sure to build your box out of 3/4" MDF and it should give you plenty of "bang" even from just 200 watts RMS. I know it's a sin to suggest it here, but you might consider using 3 rolls of Peel N' Seal to deaden your doors. If your carefull about installing, it will work well and cost alot less than commercial deadening. Don't forget you need good power cables, a fuse holder and 2 sets of RCA's, some zip ties and paint or carpet for your box. If you install this stuff well, you can make it sound good and it will last a long time. If you install it poorly it will sound crappy and it won't make it thru your first semester before it starts to crap out on you. [/QUOTE]
