System Help...

Ok first off this is for a 2001 Mustang GT.. I want this to be as loud as I can get it off my budget and space limitation. I have done some research and the things I have picked out seem to be very good for a budget setup. I am not trying to do any audio shows or anything just want great sound. My Mach 460 stock system seems to be on it's last leg. I have limitid space. So I have to go with 8's please only give me suggestions on 8's. The rest is subject to change.

Here is what I was thinking so far.

Head Unit- - Pioneer DEH-P8300UB (budget $200ish)

Comps- - Massive Audio CK6 Stage 3 ( budget $200ish)

Subs- -2 8” Sundown SA8’s (budget under $400 for the sub/subs)

Comps Amp- ? need help... Would like my sub amp and comp amp to be around the $200ish/each area.. I would prefer them to be from the same company so they look the same or atleast close. My sub amp needs to be around 400-500 RMS or so per sub since they are rated at 400RMS. For my comps I was thinking about running around 125rms per side since they are rated upto 130rms.

Sub Box- 1.5-1.8 cubes @ 32-35hz

Play nice and give some good advice! Thanks for your time!

Just some subwoofer P@rn from the Bravada!

an aq 4x90 and 1200/2200 ,depending on the vc config and if you plan on ever going bigger, would set you up quite nicely on that.

Ok I will look into those.

The 8's I can get either DVC 2 or 4 ohm so I can pretty much do anything with those. As for the comps. they are 4ohm.

Go with the sa8 I ran one for a few months and loved it....just make sure u don't go over on the pwer with them depending on box size if u are gonna use 400 a piece then u can use a bigger box....if ur gonna go smaller then use more power...( this only goes for the sa8)

But for a budget system all looks good
