I want you to design me a system

Take that 250 and get a HU. And start researching and buying parts as you go.

Those Fusions are crap. I know someone who bought them (he didn't ask me first) and he's on his third set. Either the amp craps out or a sub goes out. Then he heard my system and he says "man your 1 12 off ~500w hits harder than my 2 12s!!" Yeah. Duhhh.

Really if you have a job, buy one thing at a time so you can get better stuff. Buy one item a month then install it all at once and you'd be a LOT happier. Start with the head unit. Do you have an iPod/MP3 player? If so you'll probably want a head unit that has an AUX input or direct iPod connection. Almost everything these days comes with both, so look around.

I would like to ask everyone if this ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Fusion-Car-Audio-2-12-Subs-Amplifier-Amp-Kit-Sub-Box_W0QQitemZ220299464035QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item220299464035&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 ) is any good?

No.

It absolutely sucks. Fyi.

use 2 channels for left/right to a pair of 6by9's

and bridge the other 2 channles for a small sub.

thats how I rocked for a fiew months in the vette while I was sinking all my $ in to

repairs to keep the dam thing on the road.

I'm selling my Alpine MRV-F345 for $150 shipped if you're interested. Its birthsheet shows 104x4, but rated at 75x4 or 75x2 + 300x1 all at 4 ohms. Basically you could run a small set of component speakers and a decent sub all off the one amp. Like we have said, save up and buy one good thing at a time, rather than buy a bunch of crap all at once...

That fusion looks like absolute junk.

They only list the MAX power rating on the woofers and give no info on the amp.

Crizzzzappp

This is the best i could do. This doesnt include a box (build your own, port it, tuned low, do research and you'll know what this means)

Little more than $250, not including box

Would I need to buy speakers then or just use the default speakers that are in the car?

We already said no. Are you not listening?

For that much money, you could get something better.

i have a 5 channel alpine f320 for $75 shipped.it would power all your speakers and a sub and if you show it a 2 ohm load on the sub channel it bangs pretty good....for $125 shipped i can throw in a set of BNIB lanzar heritage components.that leaves a good bit for a sub and HU

Thats a pretty good deal.

5 channel is the way to go for a first system I think.

Heck, Im still using mine.

Should I get http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8555_Kicker+07C154.html that instead of the other sub you posted? Because shipping is free on that one and on the other one its 26$. So I would only have to pay $5 for that one. Is it worth the $5?

Also should I get this for a box? Would it be right for the sub? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7597_Sonic+Sub+Box-+1H15-2.0.html

Looking at your budget, i would reccommend searching local for whatever you can get before trying to buy online. Look at craigslist. Theres always bound to be cheap shit on there.
