Good first build?

[Malevolent_ 10+ year member]

Well here's my plans for a first build.

speakers front and back - £127.99*2 = £255.98/$415.37 - Focal Polyglass 165 VB Component Speakers

amp for both - £99.99/$162.24 - JBL GTO504E Amplifier - Car Audio Direct

Head unit - £129.99/$210.93 - Pioneer DEH-7300BT - Head Units

Sub - £204.99/$332.63 - Ascendant Audio Arsenal 15 Subwoofer - Car Audio Direct

amp - £179.99/$292.07 - SPL Dynamics ICE-800D - Amplifier

wiring - £39.99/$64.89 - Connects2 0AWG Wiring Kit - Accessory

Total - £810.94/$1478.13

Which leaves me with about £90/$146 to get a sub box built and some sound deadening done, is that possible?

Also what are your opinions on the pieces of kit? i'll be wiring the sub at 2ohms.

you can definatley build a box with 146 but to get yor car deadened depending on how much you want done it can range from 100-300 dollars. i reccomend going here for deadener if you are on a budget: Sound Deadener

only get the focals for the fronts, if you want anything for the rears just keep the stocks in. i would get a different amp as well, that thing is pretty pricy for only putting out like 1200w.

any reason for only getting the focals for the front? and yes the sub seems pricey for its specs, but it's a great sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

most sound comes from the front stage. some people dont even have a rear stage. if you have a good front stage, its all you need.
