[QUOTE="BrotherBasshead, post: 8279290, member: 661702"] names Jake and ive been doing freelance audio installs for the past year. I dont consider myself a pro and have never done any pro installs beyond speakers/component systems and a simple sub and sub box as well as dampening/deadinning. I do not have a lot of money and am studyin in a local community college but will be working a second job 6 days a week/8 hour days to try and build up more funds to buy more tools and materials as well as a good system for my truck to show off to potential customers. I have come here to seek the advice of the true car audio pros in hopes of helping to build my little on-the-side/hobby business as well as this new system. I have a Ford Ranger 2007 extended cab My current idea for a system setup is the following: Head Unit/Receiver: Pioneer FH-X700BT for speakers: -2 pairs (4 speakers) of Rockford Fosgate P16-S component speakers/tweeters hooked up to a... -Rockford Fosgate R400-4D using... -16? or 14? or 12? (help!) gauge SHCA ofc wiring subwoofer system: -Fi Audio SP4 15" or AA Mayhem 15" (cant decide (help!)) powered by a... -Hifonics Zeus 3200 watt amp in a... -4 cubic feet of air space custom ported enclosure All of this will be powered by a stock alternator (for the next year til i have enough for a mechman) and an XS Power batter/power cell (not sure which one to get (help!)) the Hifonics amp will be hooked up to the battery by SHCA ofc 1/0 gauge power wire & ground the RF amp will be using shca 8 gauge ofc sound dampener/deadener: FatMat I have put (help!) where i need help deciding or figuring out what i need for that certain situation. Any and all advice or criticism on this little setup will be appreciated. keep in mind i dont have tons of money as paying off the student loans as well as rent will be a killer. in addition, any advice on getting into the car audio job field will also be appreciated. thanks, jake [/QUOTE]
