Nice system under $1k

[Josh068]

So I have a 1953 Chevy truck and I'm looking for suggestions about a good setup for SQ without spending a fortune.

A single din head unit will go under the seat for USB and bluetooth control

6.5" speakers in either door

An amp running to the speakers

And a small sub. I was looking at the JL CS110LG-TW3 with the JBL gtx500 amp. But I'm open to suggestions.

But the sub has to be thin and compact because there is limited room. And I just want to fill in the bass. Not thump the neighborhood.

I'll be running a 170 amp alternator and the truck will be covered in dynamat or the like.

I listen to metal and rock for the most part. But my taste is pretty open.

Thank you for your suggestions and comments.

Deadener and I'd suggest luxury liner pro. That will eat most of that budget but without there is zero chance you will hear anything but road noise.

Sound deadener has it's own budget. And it's a priority since long term comfort is directly tied to noise levels.

But I have 1k budgeted in for sound system hardware. Which seems fair for 2 speakers, a sub, head unit and amps. If I'm wrong I'll adjust accordingly.

The TW3 is fine but you will need to get a better box.
