You're main problem is that you're on a budget and you keep going to online retailers, use eBay or the Classified Section on this forum.
THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, eBay (or CA.com Classifieds) WILL HAVE THE LOWEST PRICE THAN ANY CAR AUDIO STORE.
That's where I saved money and didn't have to cut corners. Buy batteries, amps, speakers, and subs off of eBay. Sometimes you can get Headunits cheaper from online stores, but most of the time eBay will have the best price. Get your wiring from Knuconceptz and finally, have your box built locally at the place that is also doing installation (will be cheaper than prefab, and sound better)
