[QUOTE="patshea098, post: 8671427, member: 628675"] Hi everyone! Looking forward to doing this new build but it has been years since I have done an audio system, and I have never done anything weatherproof so I need some assistance because I have no knowledge on marine/weatherproof audio. I am doing a new system (or adding rather) to a '88 Mercedes 3 Door G-Class. I have budgeted $1200 for the [U][B]initial[/B][/U] build including wiring and installation. Now I know this will not get me everything at first but it will get me started and I can plan it all out. I know that marine audio is usually built to be project clearly further distances due to being outdoor, playing over a roaring motor, and for people being pulled behind boats, etc. Since this will be in a vehicle it obviously does not need to produce that same result so I do not need the loudest/best/etc. Priority: [1]Speakers, [2]Subwoofer, [3]Headunit. I can use the current headunit for now which I expect to do due to my budget. Now I am considering 2 different setups but will let you experts help me with my direction. [B]Setup 1:[/B] 2 Front, 1 10" Sub, and a Soundbar facing forward, mounted hanging from the rear soft top crossmember. This would be handy for tailgating, camping, etc. where I could rotate the Soundbar to face firing backwards. [B]Setup 2:[/B] 2 Front, 2 Rear under/next to bench seats in pods, 1 10" sub [ATTACH]4725._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4726._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4727._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
