Good system?

[Malevolent_ 10+ year member]

Here's the system I'm planning out

Sub - £150

Alpine SWR-1223D - Subwoofer

Amp - £210

Pioneer GM-D8400M Amplifier - Car Audio Direct

Speakers - £180

Alpine SPG-13C2 - Speakers

Multi channel amp - £81

JBL GT5-A604E Amplifier

Head unit - £130

Pioneer DEH-7300BT - Head Units

Battery - £150

Shuriken SK-BT8785DT Car battery engineered for car audio systems

Total £921, £79 left for wiring and sub box.

1.00 GBP = 1.64847 USD

so the total of it is $1648 roughly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

holy crap thats like 3 times what it should cost. But u are across the pond so IDK about the prices over their. But what u have listed can be had over here for well under 1,000

The price isn't to much of a bother for me as long as the system is going to sound really good. But i guess it's worth asking if it'd be cheaper to buy it all from USA sites and ship it over to the UK, the only problem i see their is the items are big/heavy and shipping may cost a fair bit.

But if you guys think the whole system will sound good, then the money isn't to much of a bother as i'm making all the money online during spare time i have.

That sub is less powerfull and i've heard the alpine one before and i personally love it. plus your build would cost me more, when mine is just at my budget

NP. Also, would look alil better since all ur equipment would match other then sub and HU. I mean thats if you care about looks. Nonetheless.

 

[Malevolent_ 10+ year member]

Ah for mine, where i listed the speakers i multiplied the cost by 4 because i wanted four speakers, did i do the wrong thing there?

 

[disturbed471985 5,000+ posts]

Each purchase would be for 2 speakers so you would only need to order 2 sets so cut that 180 in half and thats what u would spend. Unless you need 8 speakers cause thats what you have listed to buy. Prob thought you were buying just 1 speaker when u are really getting 2.

I know nothing of spl so I want comment but I know jbl and you will get rated from them. The polys are nice for sure. U dont need a 4channel if all u plan on running is one set of the polys unless you dnt plan on using the provided crossovers.
