[QUOTE="o. l. t., post: 6276536, member: 569202"] I stopped reading at the 10th post since it wasn't worth reading by then, so here's the deal........ First, quit looking for a "Best Buy system" (sony, lighting). Second, if you really want to get your money's worth buy into some nice raw old school. An Orion HCCA, Autotek Mean Machine, Hifonics circa "the 90's", or egg shell Fosgate Punch DSM from fleabay can be had for a nice price and leave you plenty of money to go to your second important piece, the head unit. Amp Budget - $200 Anything [B]Zed[/B] made from fleabay will do. Head unit, buy for your needs. Do you need MP3 capability through flash drive? Do you need ipod integration? Do you need double or single din? etc..... Head unit budget - $300 Subs for alternative and rock, there's a few choices. IMO you can't get a better sub for the job of rocking out in the price range as you can MB Quart DVC tens on ebay for $65 each. 12's for $75 each Sub budget - $150 There's a lot of good mids that jam, but some need high power to really get rocking. Mids that do well at low power are Pioneer, Ample Audio, and Kenwood. Mids budget - $100-ish Add a small crossover such as the audio control 2xs which can be had used for $35. You are at $785 and you have a need for a mid amp so find another small zed amp for $100 to go with your sub amp. Still under $900 and you have assembled a system that, short of the mids, should sound better than most any budget setup because you are using above par stuff, just buying smart. Take the extra $100 and throw a Farad cap or two in there. Now your components are covered for under $1,000 like you asked for. This is using a fairly expensive headunit, per say. That can be cut in half and the money used elsewhere. Good luck. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
