Wassup, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm gonna be getting a system soon, and I wanted to learn a little about car audio before I start buying stuff, so this seemed like a good place.

Don't mind all the ebullys, just kicken in the nuts and run and you'll be safe,lol. Remember to always search and don't take things personal. There is a wealth of knowledge on the site, you just have to dig for it some days...

Oh, and welcome!

I'm willing to spend $2000 -$3000, as long as the sound is real clear. Thanks for all of the responses.

P.S.- to dude who wants beef- exit the thread, and next time remember to stay out of grown folk's conversations.Nah, just playin.

This is what you will need

Head unit

Amp(s)

Sub(s)

wiring-power,ground,speaker wire, remote, and rca's(simple to buy wiring kits)

box

You may also need a HO alternator and/or second battery

I would also recomend buying a set of components and putting them on an amp also

For your budget if you going to spend it all on spl you will need either 1 or 0 guage power and ground wire

For the subs and amps there are a LOT of choices

For cd players there are a LOT of choices

 

[Trey803 5,000+ posts]

If you want clear sound first step would be to buy some componenets-the best way to find which ones you want are to listen to some in a local audio shop. Some decent brands that tend to be popular on this site are

CDT and Rainbow

You are going to want to stay away from mainstream company such as JL when buying speaker subs and amp because they will tend to be way over priced

 

[Trey803 5,000+ posts]

For the subwoofer part you will have to give more detail about what you want. Are you looking for sq sql or spl. Also how much space do you have to fit a box and how many woofer did you want to go with?

 

[Trey803 5,000+ posts]

After selecting your Headunit, speakers, and subwoofer, then I would look into amplifiers. As for Headunit I would look at Pionneer, Eclipse, or Kenwood

lets say you spend 2,500

500 for components and amp

200-300 for Head Unit

200-300 for wiring(w/o new alternator) I'm not sure how much alternators cost

that leaves you with 1,400 for subs and amps-which is going to be loud
