I don't know anything about systems, need a bit of help.

[wugodz]

First off, let me introduce myself, I live in Harbor City, a tough suburb of L.A., found this forum through google.

I have a Ford TBird, picked it up for cheap, runs like a pro still, so i'm looking to give it a little extra bump in it's last days on the road. Got about $300 to put into it, wondering what the best combo would be to hook it up with. I bump a lot of hip hop. It's got the stock premium sound right now, which, sadly, was blown out before I got it. I checked around some sites, I don't know the first detail about systems, but my can basically only house little dinky azz 6 x 8 inchers (unless i want to throw them in the trunk?? probably not?), i'm also lookin' to get a Subwoofer... So basically, i want some quality 6 x 8" speakers and a sub for $300, give or take $50. I'm also gonna buy a new in-dash CD player because my current one can't even read CD's when you put them in.

Can someone please help me with my dilemma? Is it plausible to get a system that's gonna knock for $300? Also, if anyone has any other combinations to suggest, i'm open to anything.

$300 is a slim amount of money and your going to have to stay pretty low on the quality side.

I'd say to look at pioneer CD players. Cheap yet awesome. Then look into speakers with what you have left.

that should be your first upgrade so you can at least listen to some music.

After that you should save up at least another 300 for some entry level gear in the trunk.

Harbor City is a small subdivision of the city of Los Angeles with a mix of race, class, and social status. Some parts of Harbor City, notably those that border Torrance and Palos Verdes, are home to upper middle class suburbs, while other regions, particularly those bordered by Lomita Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway north and south and by Normandie Avenue and Vermont Avenue on the east/west, are particularly heavy in crime and poverty.

mad crazy town

What if I just threw those into the 2 backseat speakers, and kept the front seat speakers for now?

Am I gonna need an amp or some sh't like that?

i would put the quart's up front where you'll be sitting, you'll get more out of them... as far as the rest, alot of us have learned the hard way that you get what you pay for... so that being said, don't buy any of that other stuff, you will get it and realize you have made a shitty purchase. for a hu how about this

or this

and yes you'll want to get an amp to make the sub and the front speakers to sound good. with the quarts you chose and one of those hu's it's about three hundred, then you'll need another 3 to 400 to get a good (decent) setup in the trunk, not including wire/box. do it right the first time and you'll save $ in the end, at least thats how it worked for me. good luck!
