I've got around $700 and wanna spend it

Roar!

I'll tell you what I want
I went into the audio shop and got salesmaned to death. Everything sounded beautiful but...you know. chuk-ching!

Here's what I say I want.

Super audio to be heard INSIDE (very important) the car. I don't wanna be bangin wagon you can hear commin 7 blocks away. I also don't want to fill up the car. I like my space. I think he said I want a 10" woofer. more punch and less after-orgasm sensations.

I wanna be able to control the ipod. He showed me some delicious little stereo where the ipod can sit int he glove box and everything is controlled from he stereo.

So....yea. He said I want to 6" an amp stereo and sub. Then he added in labor and it pretty much doubled. I think I can figure it out, im good with electronics, but I've never done any in car thing.

another thing, this isn't to be blasted, I repect my ears. I just want to hear awesome music.

I have a 2002 subaru wrx wagon.

now go do my work for me, smart ones! hopefully I learn a thing or two.

No one will help you with that attitude, make yourself usefull and use the search button, or pay like everyone else. I have no problem answering any questions that are legitimate but no one here is going to spend anytime for you, learn some respect!!!!

Quiet you.

 
I was mostly kidding about the literal situation being presented. But I'll go take a search. I was just referred to this place. It told me there are masters here, so I asked. I didn't come to fight. I save that for http://www.emo-corner.com/

Im just not so sure what to search because everything here has to do with car audio.

You were mis-informed. The knowledgeable people left long ago.

You're only going to get a bunch of one-sided opinions, and questions on why you don't want to have a wall of 15"s on 16,000w.

if your looking to keep it basic i suggest going down to best buy or cc and have them set something up but if your looking for specifics than their is alot of questions you have to ask yourself.

How much space are you willing to give up. figure that out in cu ft

type of sound your looking for spl vs sql (sounds like you want sql) this determine the driver and box you want to go with (also list what type of music you listen to)

are you happy with your current stock speakers in the car.

The whole ipod control is very simple and just depends on what type of headunit u choose. I personally like Alpine HU but everyone is different. I recomend you go to a bunch of audio shops and listen to the different types of subs and or mid speakers and find a mix that pertains to your liking than see if that will fit your particular application.

But again if your not keen on going through the process of finding what you like the best than stick with a bb or cc and let them install it for you

Best of luck

 
/\/\i dont like that adviceits very doable yourself, and its fun

a 700 budget is a good start. but at bestbuy youll get scewed and go over for sure
I know I could take a $700 budget and build a killer system, with all the things the OP pointed out.

You rock. thank you. And to the above poster, I want a full system.

Here is a direct question that should be easy. what are a few brands you can't go wrong with? I'm willing to go around looking but I come from a super rural area and we don't have any super stores like circuit city.

I think I want two speakers, a sub, an amp, and a head unit. In the back I'm willing to give up 1.5 cubic feet. I can do more if really necessary though.

I'm going looking online.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/violent.gif.ccf64f7a34b20886d220db2fbff36f3b.gif

i agree if you know what you want, some people don't and just want something now as appossed to waiting and finding something they like. Shoot if he was local i would put a full system in for 700 dollars installed as i'm sure alot of you would. So why don't a local CA residence help him out

700 dollars is a great start if you know what you want! Looking for just a sub and amp with wiring and a descent HU than yeah great but if looking to do a full revamp on that 700 than you may be hurting on quality but to each his own.

I personally build everything myself and have done it that way since i was 16 (about 8 years now) but to each his own! Everybodies ear's are different and everybody does somethings different than everybody else

 
6.5" components up front (or biggest that will fit), maybe lose the back speakers all together

h.u (id recomend eclipse or alpine)

single 12" sub (sealed idq?)

maybe a 3 channel amp for it all

you're going to get a huge mix of oppinions on brands but here's my two cents. I like Alpine everything subs, comps, amps HU everything but again everyone has their own oppinions. also pioneer, eclipse, us amps , re are some other good brands

I've heard around the alpine is is the brand to get.

for music I like classic rock, classical, and reggae.the most can do is just go around and google " 6 inch speakers."

I'm going to go listen in the local shop again tomorrow but everything is so much mre money there. What are some nice speakers, and woofers to lookout for.

amps I'm completely clueless, I think I can choose a head unit. they're mostly just about interface, right?
