No sh1t....http://www.alpine-usa.com/builder/step5/2 How do yall like that setup?

Alpines prices on their site are doubled. Are you running components + speakers off hu?

I'm sure they're okay, but they're $100 speakers. Spending $1,000 on bass and $100 on front stage speakers is NOT the way it's done. Not if you want more than a boom car...

LMAO, made my day. Can I make this my sig?

Girls don't care about car stereos. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I wish they did..I'll change em.

Where do you buy crescendo? Apparently it is Sundown (overpriced)

I'd either get an insane headunit like the Pioneer Stage 4 or an Eclipse sound monitor, or a combo headunit+DSP like a top of the line Alpine+PXA-H701 or Sony CDX-C90+XDP-210EQ, or something + Audison bitone, JBL MS8, whatever like that.

I'd follow it up with an older 4 channel amp to run an active front stage with about 100 watts to each channel, a 2 channel amp for the rear fill, and two 10" or 8" subs in a sealed box. Probably just some older Planet Audio subs and amps, then something like Alpine Type X comps in front, or something of similar quality, Type R comps in the rear

Sounds okay, but why buy & power such a nice subwoofer and run $100 component speakers? One of these days you'll realize that a proper front stage is more important than subwoofers, Slappin.

I highly disagree with you, misfit. The kid said he wanted A loud *** system, and there you have it. I simply gave what I would do, not you. The components will match up anyways with am external amp powering them. Get real.

He's 15. Wtf do you expect him to want? A sound quality car? He wants pounding bass. Besides, 100$ speakers can do alot.

No need to get pissy, dude. I've been doing this stuff for an awful long time. I know what I'm talking about...

You do realize that Sony, at one point in time, made some very good equipment, right?

You can build a loud system that sounds good, Slappin. And besides, if you want to get realistic, what do you think the chances of this 15 year old kid actually spending $3k are?
