[QUOTE="Moofs, post: 7349771, member: 632103"] I was, and kinda am still, in the same boat as you. My first car/car audio system cost 300$ TOTAL I got a clarion HU and 4 clarion speakers for 160 b/c I haggled with the guy at the store to make it a package deal. Then I went to a pawn shop and bought a used alpine amp and box. That was 50 in total there. Then I bought a new amp kit and pioneer sub, which was 90 all together. Total = 300. Was it amazing, no. Did it sound better than the avg cheap car. yes! For you, I'd def buy used. And if u can, get everything in pieces. That way you have time to save over time. So look around on here, craiglist, ebay, local meets and some pawnshops. Also search on here to learn more, bc I almost bought a dual amp as an impulse buy when I first got into car audio. SOOO glad I didnt. Paying more than u planned ***** but in the end, when what u bought still works and is better than ur other choice. It's worth it. u can also consider this: better than what u suggested but still not an amazing setup. U can always branch off of it. Get a better sub. Then get a mono amp and use that amp for the front speakers. etc. [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_29200_1200W-Complete-Kenwood-Hifonics-Bass-Package.html"]Bass Package: Hifonics HFi100.2 + Kenwood KFCW3012 + Kit + Box[/URL] Or This: [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34526_600W-Complete-Rockford-Fosgate-RE-Audio-Bass-Package.html"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34526_600W-Complete-Rockford-Fosgate-RE-Audio-Bass-Package.html[/URL] Then spend 10$ on a craiglist prefab box and the rest on unamped front coaxials. I dont recommend this unless you CANT AT ALL go over 200$ and NEED to upgrade the speakers + add a sub. These r just suggestions. Buying used u can prob do better though. [/QUOTE]
