[QUOTE="Twilight, post: 3600284, member: 582244"] $600 total for everything? That's a small budget, but no problem, that can be done. Do you have a head unit? If not, I would recommend getting one. It will improve your sound immensely and it'll be much easier to add bass later. You can get some halfway decent Pioneer decks for around 125-150. One speaker that's causing a lot of buzz here is the Phoenix Gold RSd. It comes in a component set, 6.5" for less than $100. I haven't used it, though I plan to get one around Christmas time.
