[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 3042747, member: 573252"] Looks like about $300.00 for equipment, and $100.00 for installation supplies. Yikes, that is a challenge. But, we'll do it. How much research you willing to do? I ask because I have something in mind. It's a bit advanced but can get you just about everything you want, within that budget. Here's my initial suggestion. Mach Audio MLI65 (x2) Midbass driver [URL="http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html"]http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html[/URL] Alpine Type X tweeter (Vifa XT19 variant x2) [URL="http://www.pacparts.com/part.cfm?CFID=767269&CFTOKEN=85991391"]http://www.pacparts.com/part.cfm?CFID=767269&CFTOKEN=85991391[/URL] Mach Audio MAW10 [URL="http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html"]http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html[/URL] Those 3 would come to about $130 shipped. For an amp, I would suggest the Hifonics ZXi8006. It will run everything. [URL="http://search.ebay.com/Hifonics-amp_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ0"]http://search.ebay.com/Hifonics-amp_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ0[/URL] That leaves about $50.00 for other stuff. Hmmmm, maybe not. You could always wait on the sub for a little while. The best thing about that setup is that it will crush any component system comparably priced. The tweeter I stated is used in the Alpine Type X component set and sounds very nice. The mid is very solid and is a great budget performer. The amp is a 5 channel and will let you grow, and has a built in sub channel for a future sub. The MAW10 is a great choice as it's a 2 ohm sub and will do fine with the power the Hifonics would give it. It's also has a great processing section that would allow you to go active which is what I'm proposing. The other option is buy a higher priced component set, and a 2 channel amp. It will cost in the $250-$300.00 range to get anything worth having, so you're not really gaining anything there, and will cost much more to add on in the future. The only real trick to my option is that you'll need a fundamental understanding on how active processing works. It may be intimidating, but it's rather easy, and you won't be doing anything really advance. So, I wouldn't worry about it. We can definitely get you through it. Think about it. [/QUOTE]
