next addition to my system...low budget

[wickedmax 10+ year member]

im dying to get an RE SE12 and a JBL600.1 to get some bump in my trunk, but i definately have limited funds. Right now, i have a crappy sony aftermarket HU (face plate always randomly pops out) and Alpine type S coaxials all round. im happy with the speakers for now, but i really think they could use a 4channel speaker amp.

right now, i have about $240 saved up, i know its not much, but i lookin for a job (lol) and i just need to know what to get first.

- HU i want is a middle of the line Alpine. around $250

- Speaker amp i'm thinking of getting is a 4 channel profile with either 40W x 2 or 75W x 4. (open to suggestions, i just know profiles have a nice price tag). $100

- Subs, RE SE12's $160/ea

- Sub amp, JBL600.1 if i get one sub $180,

- if i get 2 subs i could get either a JBL1200.1 for about $230. or Hifonics BX1500D for $250

also which of these will make the biggest impact on my system.

* bad news...none of these prices include installation.

thanx for the help

stay around here for a little while, learn a couple things, and then do our own install, its really easy once you know what to do

i prefer to grudually put together the system. Then u can tune it as each peice comes. And u can know what are the strong points of ur system, and what made a big differnce in makign the system sound good, and what u still need to get.

I say go with the sub and a hifonics bx1000d. U will be able to upgrade later with that amp if u wish. and its about the same price as the JBL 600.1. Then upgrade ur head unit and add a profile amp to ur speakers when u get more money.
