[QUOTE="SSCR, post: 8680138, member: 677611"] I'm sure this forum gets swamped with equipment recommendations but here I am, hat in hand. I'm building a custom FJ40 (jeep for the lame man) with a complete aluminum tub. Everything on it is custom from the frame, suspension, body, engine, wiring harness. Much like the ICON Fj40s. The tub has enclosures in the four corners with 5.25" cutouts and the passenger seat base "box" to accommodate a 10" sub. I have a Tuffy locking center counsel that holds a single din for the receiver. I mostly stream Pandora from my iPhone for music, audio books, and the occasional pod cast. My music taste range from Radiohead to the Beatles, nothing that requires super heavy bass. The body will be "bed-lined" inside and underneath, but not much more dampening than that, the vehicle is also a soft top (insulated, but still just a soft top). I'm not expecting good acoustics but just want a decent system that I can listen to and enjoy. Ill try and attach a couple pics so you get an idea of what I'm working with. I would appreciate some recommendations for a head unit (I like JVC if possible), 4 speakers that will fit in the 5.25" cutouts, maybe tweeters, 10" sub, and I assume an amp unless I can get one integrated into the head unit. The head unit will be enclosed in the Tuffy center counsel so I am hoping to use my phone, which will have a mount in the center of the dash, primarily for all the radio operating stuff and GPS. Hands free phone operation would be a plus too! I can wire a USB plug in the dash directly to the head unit in the center counsel. Budget is around $600 if possible, like I said I don't have the best acoustic environment and feel I would be throwing money away with a high price items. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
