You might want to start off with what you want and expect out of a system, then design around that and ask advice here first //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I just want a system that has alot of bass and can get loud for big bass with **** but then i want it to be clear and nice for like country music?!

Well in my eyes its cheap i guess but then again im just getting into car audio. I mean i cant drive yet only permit.

I mean 2,500 dollars i can get that in a summer and half school year. Do jobs with my friend around neighborhood.

Get a license first guy! A car is also useful for CAR audio. For 2 grand you can do alot better than that IMO. Check the boards there is some good deals and alot better subs and amps than that. Sundown Audio is good I guess but there is alot of nut hugging for them. I think there is alot better stuff for the price. That is also just my opinion LOL

You need to do a lot more research and studying audio and electronics in general before spending anywhere near $2k on anything...Seems to me like you know little to nothing about this stuff, which isn't a bad thing that just means no one has to "Unteach you" you are a clean slate ready for knowledge.

I recommend buying a 4ga amp kit, a single 8-10" sub, and a 500 watt @ 2 ohm amp and do everything your self...from building the box to spec, drilling through the firewall, run the wires, do everything slowly and step by step.

I see you say you will be getting "2 batteries" or something like that immediately, huge sign you know nothing about your car's charging system lol.

The bottom line is I could make $500 worth of 8" sub and amp with the proper enclosure/install hit lower and louder than that 2k setup you plotted out.

THERE IS NO REASON TO BE IMPULSIVE WHEN SPENDING MONEY!! YOU WILL ONLY GET PREYED UPON BY RETAILERS / SALES PEOPLE! TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO YOUR RESEARCH! START SMALL AND WORK YOUR WAY UP NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

My plan is to have to biggest bad *** truck my my senior year and im a freshman. Im starting on inside first. Its a 1999 extended cab4 4x lariat f-150 in great shape.
