New to Car audio forum, looking for help on first build

so am i going to be getting bass not from just the sub but the speakers with this setup also?

You will get midbass and midrange frequencies out of them.

It should break down like this

Frequencies up to about 60-80 Hz play through the sub.

60-80 Hz to 3-4kHz will go through the mids (depending on where you set the filters on the amps and how the crossover on the comps is built.)

3-4kHz and up will play through the tweets

capacitor? u dont need that its junk

what are those canisters with the digital screen with numbers and stuff on the amp or sub for?

Those are capacitors. They are a largely useless piece of equipment that acts as a bandaid for an electrical system that is incapable of properly powering the equipment. They really do more harm than good

I dunno these are some good deals, orians? or the setup Hintzyboy put together? stick with orginal plan? Everyone has brought up good points, definitely learned some good shit here, but not that i know all this its really made me think a lot more about what i wana get now i gues the decisions gonna be more difficult since i got way more info to deal with now lol. Any more suggestions? Like i said i wanna a great sound system but i began my interrest with audio systems because i wanted a nice sub and amp to power it i guess though i want a balanced thing at the same time so i dunno haha. i shold keep my stock speakers kick it with my 6's? lol...yeah def gona put somet thought into all this

Here's how I would decide:

If bass is more important, go with the Orions and the HDC3, and then we can help you pick some comps in your budget.

If you want something more balanced that sounds better, go with my suggestions. You'll get better sound, and you will have more money to spend on stuff like deadening and whatnot. The money will be more evenly distributed.

wow u sayin my orion and HDC3 wont sound good? lol..

So can i use the same components and speakers in that setup Hintzyboy

had? and combine it with ur setup? or do u have any speakers u could link me

Not necessarily. However, a 2500w amp and a sub made with SPL in mind tend to make the system a little less balanced. Especially since buying those will only leave him $225 for an HU and front speakers. Definitely more of a bass-heavy setup.

btw my money is coming from the BAR junking my old camry 1990 for 1000 bucs yeeeeahh haha so i got some extra cash laying around so its not strictly 1000. btw if anyone in the San Diego area or around it is willing to help me out with building abox or putting my system together thatd be great message me or wutever

you could definitely do that, but you'd have to stretch your budget some

If you think any of the stuff I listed is even close to shit, you are severely undereducated. Everything I listed is top-notch stuff, it just focuses on a different aspect of audio.

Just because you have something to gain here doesn't mean other suggestions are less worthy.

Once again, it depends on what he decides his goals are. Why buy SPL-skewed equipment if you're trying to build a nicely balanced system?
