Trying to build a $200 Budget system in a 300zx

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

A friend of mine is looking to put in an extremely small system in his 300zx, I think its like a 91' or something. He already has some low entry level JVC head unit, but with the kind of system he wants, it probably wouldnt even matter if he had a stock head unit.

He really doesnt know shit about systems, and as said, he only wants to fork out about $200.

This is what he is going to need:

-1 Set of front components

-1 Single 8 or 10 inch sub

- Either 1 amplifier to power the components/sub, or 2 amps one for each.

-A set of 4 channel RCA's, and 2 channel RCA's

-Power wire, Fuses, Speaker wire

-Sub Box- I can build for him.

He wont need any sound proofing, practically a waste of time with the equipment that he wants.

SO what I would like from you guys is to throw me in the right direction on what his options are.

So far I have:

Sub amp- Profile 400SX

Components AMP- 200sx

Components- PHOENIX GOLD RYVAL V65C's

Sub: Kicker CVR 8

Throw me some options guys! He will have no problem buying from the classifieds, or ebay!

All of the little stuff, I pretty much already have. Ill probably charge him $30 for the small shit. Im looking for recommendations for the bigger things.

There's nothing you can really get with $200. All I can suggest is a set of RSD's, buy an amp in the classified section and try to get a HU from the classifieds... That'll run you $200 or so.

But you still need wire.

I like the car. Personally, with that, his best option is to get a cheap pair of decent coaxials, and match it with a small subwoofer.

I would consistently check the classifieds, and craigslists, for any good deals.

He's going to only be able to get small amplifiers, but in the hatchback, the sub will put out a good volume. There's not a whole lot of choice in the matter for him - it's going to be whatever deals pop up. Take whatever good deals you can find.

Tell him to put more money into the system and quit being a cheap ***. Hes in a sick car, dont put bullshit in it.

he doesn't have a high budget because those cars cost more to maintain then just about anything...but i would still give everything i own for one.

Oh there not that bad, normal upkeep isnt bad. Its when you clack off on the normal stuff and cause a bigger problem. Thats when it gets pricey.

Im a Z32 fanatic

Plus i own one

HE already has a head unit.

And guys. you CAN build a small system with $200, without wiring and all of the little things of which I already have.

I can get some profile amps, Kicker CVR... and that right there should be about $130-150 or so, so another $50 for some speakers and its done.

Just thought you lazy ***** would have more input than a simple "cant" be done, when it can!

for 200 bucks, heres what i can come up with:

Amp:http://cgi.ebay.com/TIS-AUDIO-T510PK-AMP-700W-5-CHANNEL-CAR-AMPLIFIER-R-B_W0QQitemZ120370502334QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item120370502334&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Sub:http://cgi.ebay.com/RE-AUDIO-RE10-10-SUB-WOOFER-CAR-SUBWOOFER-175W-RMS-new_W0QQitemZ400026042292QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item400026042292&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318

There is a cheap sub and amp combo that still leaves you about 100 for components. The amp is 5 channel so it can power his speakers too. Its not the greatest but for the 200 budget its what i can come up with.
