[QUOTE="ekaiser, post: 2018020, member: 569716"] Heya.. I'm getting ready to buy my first system, and i know very little about what i'm doing beyond the random review's i've read over the last few weeks. I've gone to a few shops to get estimates and stuff before i decide what to buy, and most places want a little more than double the price you can get the shit online for. [URL="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/droo2000/CIMG2936.jpg"]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/droo2000/CIMG2936.jpg[/URL] The car is a 2005 sebring, and i don't want a standard box. The back seats fold down and i'm a snowboarder so i need to be able to use the sides of the trunk for whatever i'm going to do. Here's the setup the guys @ my local shop wanted to sell me for 1,200 (with install and custom inclosure for the sides) HU: [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ldEIAKjWnOc/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=158GT300"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ldEIAKjWnOc/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=158GT300[/URL] (although i've heard lots of terrible things about sony's head units) (140$) Amp: Massive 1000.1 [URL="http://massivemulti-media.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2&zenid=36c57f0b17271f4a33050f7ac4912468"]http://massivemulti-media.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2&zenid=36c57f0b17271f4a33050f7ac4912468[/URL] (359$) Subs: (2) Massive RW12's [URL="http://massivemulti-media.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=30"]http://massivemulti-media.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=30[/URL] (150x2 = 300$) so that comes out to 800$, so the last 400 would be for the box, install, wires ect.. My questions are... -Is this a decent equiptment for my budget -Will the placement of the box / subs be alright -Would it be smarter to buy all this stuff myself, bring it all to a shop and just have them install it / make me a box Thanks for any input.. -Andrew [/QUOTE]
