yeah i like it so far...the only thing i dont like is millionbuy.com......i bought an amp from them and like 31 days later it fried on me...anyways....can u not fit 2 subs? or is cash low? cuz u can get two cvrs for 150 shipped.

you need a head unit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Not sure i'd trust that wiring kit. It's very often that the actual wire gauge inside the insulation is much, much smaller than advertised with those flea-market brand kits.

Line out converter = using factory HU, I'm guessing.

That Scosche loc is a peice of crap. The screws literally fall through, and when I stalled mine, it smoked in less than a week.

 

[js09 10+ year member]

my budget is like $250 (i think this comes out to be a little more)

i was thinking about getting 2 CVR's in the future though..

 

[js09 10+ year member]

as for the LOC I may just go pick one up at the store, the quality of it won't affect the sound quality in any way, will it?

i would say dont buy anything just yet save your money and just get a headunit for a start. and save up atleast like 200 more you could go with something like an maw12 i loved my 15 and its a killer price. get better wire

dkmesa: don't laugh at the newbie :-]

zyklonb: I am set on buying an entry level system now, but I will probably upgrade int he future. As for the wiring do you suggest a higher quality 4 gauge set or a different gauge all together?

Thanks.

i see what your saying by getting an entry system i guess but idk if youll be satisfied with just 1 comp. and you forgot about a box and install as well. if your buying a prefab expect around 100 and depending on where you get your instal your looking at another 100-200. i still say wait until you have enough money to get something that you will like for a while. why spend money when you know youll uipgrade anyways

sorry didnt see you had a box sorry
