[QUOTE="zako, post: 7852877, member: 629735"] For $400-500 you will build a very basic system unless perhaps you use used hardware. You can throw something together with something like a 4-channel class D amp, Soundstream TN4.900D amp ($200), a set of Pioneer D-series components ($120 online?) and an entry level subwoofer. Realistically, though if you want to do things right.. get an active capable head unit (such as Pioneer DEH-80PRS), a 5-channel amplifier to run active front stage and a set of better speakers (e.g. JBL Power or MS-series)..Ignore the rear speakers. But this kind of setup can easily cost near $1000 if you count the cost of everything (subs, hu, etc). This sounds expensivish, but you don't have to spend it all at once. Each piece takes some time to install and tune. Buy and install one piece at a time. [/QUOTE]
