Jordan Guess Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 In my town, we have absolutely nobody to consult for car audio...so I am in dire need of some advice. I have about $1000 budget (as posted above). I just put in a pioneer head unit, so that part is taken care of. With the budget, Ide like to replace the 4 stock speakers (all 5 1/4", 2 in the rear roof, 2 in the front door panels). And then I am sacrificing some space in the trunk for a sub box. My dimensions are 20" height, 35" width, 15" bottom depth", 8" top depth. I have no idea on what direction I want to go, but I really want to avoid extra batteries and alternators and so forth (if I can). Preferred music is rap, hip-hop, dubstep, and all kinds of rock. If you need any other information on the vehicle or anything, please let me know; I'm sure if left out some vital information on what my goals are here so please correct me. Your help is much appreciated, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroupe79 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 you should set a budget for mids/highs and amp for them....a budget for sub/s and amp for them then allow for electrical something like $300 mids/amp....$600 subs/amp....$100+ for electrical...your budget of $1000 is going to be very tight if I were you I would try to look at a more long term setup...you dont want to spend like $1000-1200 and then want to just rip it all out 2-3months later to go bigger and then spend more money...just saying http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapanater Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Bro with a 1000 bucks you can get some nice stuff. IF you wanna go with a good legit brand just look into Rockford Fosgate Punch subs and coaxials. You won't spend nearly that much. Get a small amp, maybe a P300 and a P3 12" sub and I doubt you'll be disappointed. Probably looking at 500 bucks or so.

bass_stalker Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 mb quart 60.4 is like 100 new. you could get 4 fosgate prime 5.25's for 80 to replace the door speakers. figure in another 30 dollars for new speaker wire. pick up a 0 gauge kit for about a 100. then you can get a power distubution block for about 20 bucks, about 10 feet of 4 gauge power and ground 31 dollars get an obsidian 12 for 140 bucks. about 50 bucks for the big three upgrade total is about 551 dollars so that leaves you with 450 bucks to build a box get an amp and buy othere installation things like fuses and rcas JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Crandis16 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would suggest by going down the route of HU, subs and amp, then mids/highs. if your HU has a HPF then you can stop the low tones from going to the current mids to get as much out of them until you can afford the mids, only if your subs and amp cost a lot ofcourse. How much trunk space were you planning on using? all of it? My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
