System check please...

[toobs124 10+ year member]

I thought I would run my planned system by you guys. I need some help deciding on what to buy, being a newb. I am going to put this in a 2008 wrx sti.

Im not exactly sure what size speakers etc. will fit in my car, but I hope someone on the forum can check and make sure everything will fit ok.

Head: Kenwood DNX5120

Front: Either Pheonix gold component 240W or the JBL GT0607C component syst. (Please help me decide, it says on crutchfield that these go in the back? I dont get it.)

Rear: Infinity 6022i

Sub: JL 12" powerwedge (the STI is a hatchback and I think it will match up right against the back of the seats because the back of the box is angled)

AMP: I have no clue. Can anyone tell me what I will need to run all of this gear?

I would appreciate feedback about the components. If I am missing anything I am going to need or if something will not fit in my vehicle I would greatly appreciate some help. Also if you think I can get something better for a reasonable price it would help. I listen to all music: hip hop, rock, country, classical, metal etc.

I am on a pretty strict budget. I want to keep the whole system under 1500.

Thanks for the help!

P.S. How much is a typical install (no fancy stuff) by a proffessional?

Most people go wrong with there systems when they buy good stuff and cram the subs in shotty pre fab boxes. I have listed some good budget equipment that you will not be dissappointed with. Make sure you get a custom box made and also make sure you get some sounddeaden like second skinz or dynamat. If you do not want to do the instalation then find a the best audio shop in your city or town and let them do it. It may cost you a good penny but you know your s*** is done right. What ever you do do not allow circut city or best buy touch your car neither a caraudio shop that has s*** like Sony xplodes in or Pile the window. You also can find someone on this forum that lives in your city or town who knows his way around caraudo setup a time to meet and the both of you can do the work Or you can do it yourself and save money. Have your digital camera ready along with all your tools and log on here and let the guys on here help you with the install. If you get stuck and need help identifying wires or you not sure if somthing is right snap a photo uploaded and I sure someone will be able to help.I hope I helped you out a little. Peace

If you want to try two of these. These are some very nice 12 inch subs that are affordable.

These are the best of all the daytons subs listed IMO. They get low and loud. The sound quality is superb.

This is the amp I would use for these subs

This is a nice sub as well as the others. I will let you find amps for them.
