Hey guys, what do you think of my potential setup?

[01stratus928]

Hey what's up, I've got a 2001 dodge stratus and I bought it for 400 bucks. I took a risk buying it and it packs a punch and I see the same car as mine on craigslist for 1500 bucks. So it only seems fitting to me to take another risk and try and pack a punch with my speakers, squeezing as many watts as reasonably possible for my coin.

My plan is:

A Boss CER-250 Amp,

and lanzar mx693's all around..

and use the stock dodge head unit if possible, it has an amplifier link in the back.

Now I am an electrician but I have not delved into stereo systems until now. Is the amplifier link what I'm looking for, if you know what I mean? You're the experts here, please let me know if this is what I'm thinking. Also will I need RCA cables or anything else other than power wires? Thanks for reading and please let me know what you come up with.

Oh and it's not letting me post links or even the specs to the amp and speakers, not cool.

You will not get a single good response from this. Many people on here have spent at least 3x as much as you paid for your car on their system.

boss and lanzar are both garbage. Worse than running it off a stock head-unit IMO

What's your budget for speakers and an amp? I'd stay far away from the equipment you listed. Even on a low budget I and 99.9999% of people here wouldn't touch Boss audio. And for good reasons, it's pure junk. And to keep your factory head unit your gonna need an LOC and yes you will need RCA cables. Give us a budget and we will help point you in the right direction.

BOSS Audio has been junk since the company was created.

All you need to do is give us a budget and what you want, like 4 6x9's or 2 6x9's and 2 6.5's, etc. We'll help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Agree on Boss but Lanzar OPTI'S are nice so don't throw them under the bus.
