possible cheap system?

[bnsf36burton 10+ year member]

im looking to put a system in my 97 saturn sc2....i really dont have much money to spend and il be getting rid of the car in a little over a year and plan to take most of the equipment with me...im pretty sure about some of the parts but need some help on others. i listen to alot of rock and some techno...anyways here's what i have so far:

h/u: pioneer p4800mp-it has everything i need and is cheap...

speakers:

front: infinity 63.7i - im really mainly looking for clear high's up front and ive only heard great things about their tweeters..expecially the 3 ways

back: alpine 17c2 - i only want some in back for decent midbass and rear fill, these are cheap and i hear have decent midbass

other notes: theirs no factory tweeter housing for comps and i really dont want to be cutting up my car and doing any bodywork on it. also im getting rid of the car in like a year so i dont want to worry about sound deadening, ive never done it and dont wanna put the time in a car im not keeping too long, plus the door's missaligned so no matter what i do theirs still gunna be outside noise when im on the highway

amp: i really dont have the money to spend on an amp but i know how much better the speakers will sound with any kind of amp, so im just thinking il get a cheap 4-channel off ebay that puts out at least 50 watts rms a channel...feel free to give me some suggestions on any decent one $75 or less on there

subs: i dont have the money right now to put in subs so i'l probly wait till around christmass. i'l only have 200 max to spend on everything when i get em. also i need trunkspace, especially in winter for my snowboard so i doubt i could fit 2 subs in. but anyways i think then il just try to get a single 12 that comes with a box and maybe an amp....maybe a blaupunkt pcb1200 or something....if i dont do that maybe and alpine type-e then buy a box and a mono or 2-channel amp...from a sub i want something that plays clear lows but thumps too....at least enough to hear easily outside the car

i'm pretty new at this so i really need some help...im pretty set on the h/u and the speakers but im really open to suggestions for the other.....also im gettin everything but the subs by the end of the month so i need help now...any would be appreciated thanks

Try to go used. Forget components, for your budget and since you're not keeping the car, go coaxials. It'll save you money and effort. Look for a decent used amp. I have a 100x2 Autotek that I'd let you have for $70 shipped to your door.

When you go for a sub, it sounds like a 12" AA Assassin in a sealed enclosure would be just what the doctor ordered.

i was thinking i'd amp up all the speakers cuz i can get a factory refurb profile 4-channel with all the power i'd need for the speakers for under 50

and should i get an assassin or a dd or maybe a used type r or something....and if i got an assassin is there anywhere to get it other than the factory website....and what kind of box would i need....cuz i know i dont know enough to make one right now

this would be a good amp to power all 4 of your speakers.

the profile amp puts out more power, has less thd, and variable crossover....plus its still cheaper

the kicker also has adjustable crossovers, and its says less than 1% thd, so i dont know exactly what it is but it isnt enough to be noticeable. plus the kicker is just a much better amplifier than the profile.

still....less power....and costs more

ok so maybe i changed my mind to putting crystal ssx615's up front instead of the infinity's......good idea?

 

[bnsf36burton 10+ year member]

or maybe even spend a couple ectra bucks and get a pair of diamond d661i's?

 

[bnsf36burton 10+ year member]

ok...i change my mind alot.....now i really need to know though....the crysal ssx615's, da d661i's, pioneer rev's, or focal 165ca1's

some help this time would be nice......
