Ok, how do I not blow greater than $400 on a decent system?

[QUOTE="sumone, post: 349212, member: 551481"] Does this sound good(/right)? [just to get sound to the speakers - i know there's other things involved like the ground+power+fuses+etc. wires I still have to connect] 1. get an amp. 50Wx4 [rms] seem reasonable? My head unit puts out 20wx4 rms and compared to that, I think 50W would be more than enough volume. 2. get component speakers - 6.5s or 5.25s with tweets. Buy [or be ambitious and try to make] kickpanels since my doors have 4x6s. Put the 5s/6s in the kicks and the tweets somewhere on the dash [do I have to cut a hole in the dash???please say no!] 3. get a sub - a 10 perhaps. Sealed box most likely for space concerns. 4. connect head unit's preamp outs (a left and a right) to amp. disconnect the spekaer wires connected to the head unit. 5. on amp, channel 1 goes to compon. left, channel 2 to compon. right, channel 3+4 bridged to go to sub. Based on this, does it sound like I'm getting a grasp on what to do/what I want? Hopefully! So does this sound like a good setup for someone who wants SQ over SPL, but still some SPL, but not to the point where I can be heard more than 1/4-1/2 a block away, listens to rap+r&b mainly, but also jazz and classical?
