Hows this for a budget build?

[RooTxBeeR]

So since I have started this hobby I never really had a good cash flow coming in. So I always looked up cheaper things. Put together this list of parts that would be a nice budget system, not exceed 1000 watts so no need for electrical upgrades. If there is severe voltage drop, big 3 would be in order, but from car to car it may vary. I want everyone's opinion on this as a budget build. The list will consist of front/rear speakers, 4 channel amp, mono amp, wiring kit and all things alike needed, sub, and sub box. The only thing that I never really look at is HU's, so as far as that goes, I don't know any that are good for the money. Here is the list. Also as an FYI, I would be recommending this to people if anyone local came to me for a system installation. I say this because for some beginners may prefer a coaxial set over a comp set if they do not have tweeter location, because they might not want to fabricate them. If I where to do an installation, I would fabricate all this into the vehicle to make it work as necessary.

Speakers!

Front

The coaxial version is another $20 more(if you'd prefer in your own build, said just as a reference)

Rear

Amps!

Wiring and Interconnects

Wiring kit that comes with 1 RCA

Extra sets of RCA's since ^^^^ comes with 1, need front/rear/sub

Head Units!

I left the sub selection for last since it really is dependent on what you/customer would or could work with.

Things that I would consider for it are

http://www.skaraudio...l?category_id=8 Skar Audio IVX Series

http://www.sundownau...l?category_id=2 Sundown Audio E Series

http://www.ddaudio.c...500-series.aspx Digital Designs 500 Series

Those are only a few but the main subs I would recommend for those price ranges.

Then only other thing would be the cost of materials for a box, which depending on price of wood at your location and time, anywhere from 55-75 dollars for silicone/wood/screws/glue.

From all this you are looking at these types of figures (I got $422.81 for all of SE.Com stuff in the cart, with free shipping to just outside Chicago)

$400-$440 for all of SE.Com, prices vary from time to time

$55-$75 in box materials

$130-$300 based on number and size of woofers (If on tight budget, I would suggest a single 15 or even a 18(18 has more cone area than 2 12's) but if your wallet has a tiny bit of a stretch 2 12's or 2 15's)

$485-$815 in total for a full system excluding a Head Unit

If voltage drop is an issue

!!!Optional!!!

Along with all that, optional PAC-LC1, Clarion EQ.

I'm working on a setup right now that's really similar, i'm grabbing both those same amps.

Skar has a 15" for pretty cheap. Low wattage too. Look into it

I know, I listed it, 15" IVX, it is the sub I will be grabbing for my own system.

Great thread. I enjoyed reading it.

You can sometimes find brand new decks on this site for cheap. I look there occasionally because you never know what the cops will confiscate.
