[QUOTE="KyleBechtold, post: 7403239, member: 604516"] alright I will help you a little bit.. start with a headunit.. get what you want with it.. I will tell you now as cool as touchscreens are.. you won't watch movies or any of the other stuff like you think you would.. so avoid it if you can.. bluetooth for what? your phone? I never use mine but you might so if its a must get it.. I would buy a nice headunit.. not something you kind of like.. get what you want.. then use your left over money on the front stage amplifier.. get something nice with atleast 150x2 @4.. so even if that is $250 for h/u $300 for amp unless you get used.. thats 550 spend atleast $150 on some components.. thats $700 so you have $230 or so to get a sub/amp/box and the rest is for wiring... Now then if this is just to be a basic system I do a $150 - alpine h/u basic features $200 - find a nice used amp that does atleast 150x2 make sure its a reliable user on here $150-$300 - components I would get new.. a lot of people on here don't tune amps properly so save the hassle $150-$200 - a 500-1000watt sub amp 100-200 - sub.. get a base model for sq get a ID CTX or even Infiniti 1252w for cheap.. but subs I would research for what you want.. now then those are just ranges you need to find what you like.. for $600 you won't get a system you will like unless you just need an updated stock system.. If you like to listen to music a lot $600 won't get you where you want.. So if you want a stock replacement system with an added sub we can do that for 400-600 if you do used.. if you want a decent system that won't get stupid loud but sound good 600-1000 can get you some used equipment that sounds good.. It will not get you brand new gear that sounds great [/QUOTE]
