[QUOTE="SpeedingPenguin, post: 584276, member: 555881"] I've been here/on different audio forums for a while, occasionally browsing the forums and asking misc. questions, but now i've finally got a car i'll be keeping long enough for it to be worth putting money into the audio system :-D (89 Firebird Formula) I dont want to ask "Whats the best system for 500 dollars" or anything like that, because i can only immagine how annoying thats gotta be for those of you who spend alot of time here...though thats pretty much what i'm trying to figure out... The car is loud, and will be ALOT louder with the new headers and the Mac exhaust system i'm putting on in a few weeks, so i will need something with a LITTLE power to it at least... Right now I'm thinking that a Pioneer DEH-P2600 head unit will do the job fairly nicely, and i can probably get for about 130 bucks on eBay or something.... For front speakers i need 4x6's....Since i'm not working with much money, nor do i want to do custom kick panels, will the Boston Acoustics FX7's be fairly good? I'll most likely be running the front speakers off the head unit not an amp, though maybe in the future i'll get a cheap amp with a little more power since i think the FX7's are like 70w RMS... I'm not sure about the rear 6x9's....taking the budget into concideration, what can you recomend, or should i just skip those or use the stock ones for now? Now on to the sub and amp..... I listen to rock/metal/classic rock, and OCCASIONALLY some techno....so i'd like SOME bass, but i dont need anything crazy...I just need this system to get me through till the summer or something, cause then i'll probably just sell it to a friend for a little $$ and get some good stuff....so i dont wanna piece it together as i get $$, even if it would be the more logical thing to do...
