Nice Budget System for a family friend

[RipDaJacka]

My step dad asked me to find his friend "The best system on a Budget".. This man is in his late 30's and listens to everything really.. My step dad was telling him about my system and it got in interested in doing a setup in his car.. He wants it to look good and sound amazing.. not too loud but "Impressive for an old man" he has some pioneer 6x9's and thats IT! and he wants a cd/mp3 player with an AUX input for his Ipod.. so i came up with this nice budget setup.. $800 is his limit. and it must be Brand New with a warranty per his request

Box: he wants to build it himself as a hobbie of woodwork, so I reccomended a Sealed enclosure

Nice HU to meet his needs, matching amps, Best budget Subs IMO, and awesome comps.. Any suggestions and/or changes

why not ported?

 

[RipDaJacka]

cuz he's an older guy that wont notice much difference, limited space, and i had rather not explain HZ and tuning to him, and watch him **** it up. I know he can cut and screw stuff together, but if he insists I will design him something real quick in the low 30's

this one http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?showAll=Y&g=300&i=113MP3035&tp=5684&avf=N

the other only had 1 set of outputs

I dont doubt you one bit my man, the overall appearance is dated and looks rather Bland.. i have never used a kenwood deck for the record

i know what you mean but theyre nice and simple with no bs

anyway, good luck

 

[RipDaJacka]

thanks man, I will see what he wants to do.. If he wants simple i will get him the kenwood, It does everything he asked and has the aux input on front.. and I really really like the comps.. and the Mids amp

wait, dont get the first Kenwood i linked to, it only has one set of rca outputs

get the more $ one, youll need atleast 2 sets of outputs if running 2 amps and it doesnt have a front aux, which is a bummer

 

[RipDaJacka]

werd, Imma speak with him on this... He really wants to run the DD's.. i wonder if this is goin in his new Truck or Porsche Kit Car.. its tight than a MF.. Imma have him come to shows as best install if its in that car

i like the PG comps... i just bought a set of those on ebay for 85$ shipped.

Unless he's set on the DD subs you might want to consider a few Assassins. Even the 8's in a small ported box will more than impress him...

 

[RipDaJacka]

Yeah he's set on those.. they are priced nice and pound loud
