pioneer deh-770-$200

infinity kappa perfect-$250

JL AUDIO 300/2-$300

2 15" Resonant engineering SE's(going to upgrade to 4 once i get the money)-$370

Re audio 12.1 amp-$379

KnuKoncpetz wiring-$100

edead isnt that expensive, and a HU wiring kit is like $7 and the install kit is like $15. the rest sounds good 2 me

i would try to find some different speakers, ifinities **** at midbass and the highs are to bright,

look into maybe some re comps, cdt, rainbow, focal, diamond, just along the lines of them, but i hated my infinities, i love my rainbows

ooh and are you porting the 15s? or sealing and i dont think ur gonna fit 4 SEs in the trunk

ok i was thinking about going with the re 6.5's but have never heard anybody atlking about them that much.

and for Bamaboy im going to port them..but if need be..i'll get different subs such as 2 15" SX's or 1 18" XXX....do you think i can fit a 18" in the trunk of a pontiac height wise

where do you get enough money when ur 14 to buy a practically new car and spend $1600 on a system??

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

my parents are going to buy the car for me and i wash cars..almost 150's bucks a week from that alone...and lus im going to ggo get a job at publix sometime this week as a bagboy so thats a extra 100 a week

so i should have the money in about 2 months...after i get the system then its time for either wheels or smaller SC pulley,cams,intake,pistons,rings etc.

RE comps are good, but try to stay away from infinity, lots of different choices of comps, 2 SXs would be crazy loud and sound pretty good, maybe 2 Rl-ps, or an XXX would be nice

ok new discovery...my mom just said if i get good evnough graades i might get her 04' expedition....so 4 15's are now doable...even though i might look like a shrimp driving it lol...but i'm going to still start out with 2 until i can get the extra money or perhaps a 18" XXX and then upgrade to another one later

AINT THAT A *****. Here i am working my arse off to make ends meet and some 14 year old gets handed a new car. And people wonder why these you kids go out and kill themselves racing... it's because their frist car is a friggin grand prix and there friggin 15 and they wanna see how fast a gran prix can go yet they still don't know how to handle a car. Ahh that was just me venting ... continue with your thread.

accually i think the kits for that car are on the more expensive side

my friends has one and he had to pay 50 for his kit

it has something do to with the door beep that runs through the whole system

actually im not going to see how fast a car can go..im not into that stuff nemore..i was when i was like 11 or 12...because i lost 2 friends 2 that crap unless its on a authorized track...which i doubt im going to be able to do..because i think you have to be 18 but idk. Im into more of the sound of the car than racing...that and car audio..i've been reading around on forums and learning stuff from my brother.
