im in the process of building a super budget system for my daily driver
it has no stereo in it what so ever and ive been using a beats xl pill with the blue tooth to my iphone for music for the last 6 months and its starting to get old
its time to upgrade from the beats to a stereo
my daily driver is a 1975 lhd classic mini with a 998cc/4 speed
I plan to install a gm cs130 alt into this bad boy, witch I believe those are 105amp or something close to that, my stock alt is 45amp, I plan to hit up the junkyard for a used stock alt
so far my stereo parts are priced at $$
kenwood h/u $100, I don't remember the model off the top of my head but it does what I need
jbl gto301.1 free
jbl cs60.2 60w@4ohms x 2 $20
kicker cvt 12 $50 used by a co-worker for a few months before he upgraded
1.25 cu ft^3 sealed box (3/4 mdf) I built out of some left over mdf from boxes Ive built for other people, so no cost for me
15 ft of 4ga power wire, fuse holder, remote turn on wire $30
10 ft of 12 ga speaker wire for the sub, $free
2 15ft of monster rca cables on sale for $3.25 each
so far I have $206.50 into my super budget system
so I only need to get some speakers for the front
my front speakers will be mounted on a board and ran off of 60wrms ea
I could box it in alittle for the most part
something close to this, that I will be making

here's what im thinking
if I go with the alpine speakers I will buy the 2nd pair at half price and get two of them at $65
Alpine SXE-1750S 6.5" Type-E Component Speakers System
and upgrade the crossover to some cdt units (to protect the tweeters) that I have laying around
or

and then I will have to buy some 16ga speaker wire but that's not a big deal
not sure witch speakers for the front to go with
I just want some sound that's alittle bit louder then the beats xl pill
