Cheapest Setup?

[TuanTrang]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the comunity and also audio world, So i kinda stuck on what best and good for a setup, Before you guys say anything i just want to point out a few thing.

I'm trying to have a cheapest setup that also good if possible.

1. Under $100 Amp
2. Good Brand
3. Loud enough that would make car shake or trunk rattle or something around that area.

Right now my current setup is a..

• Kendwood KAC-1205S AMP
• Double 12" MTX Audio Thunder (Forgot the model.. I think is 4200 or 2400).
• 8 Guage Amp Install Kits

Thanks Guys

You get what you pay for. Cheap will always be cheap

any amp under $100 wont last or even get loud. you can find good amps at $300

[oldsoundguy]

Yep ^^^

[Miguels]

you can get a decent setup with $1000... just save up a bit

I priced a decent system for a buddy of mine. Mono amp, 2 channel amp, component set, sub woofer, box, wire, fuses, battery etc.

I told him for 1300 bucks he could do it. One 12 " or 10" sub install would be for beer so pretty much free. He would have to help and learn. I would show him how to set the gains so he doesn't blow it. I think that's fair.

Hey guys, Someone offer me a Good Condition 2 12' Kicker L7 and a Kicker 1200.1 Amp, Is it better then what i have? (I have Kenwood Kac-1205s and 2 12' Mtx Audio Thunder)

I can't believe no body has said it yet so i will.

8g wiring kit? they make those? anyway you can barely power a 300w amp with 8g wire! my speaker wire is 8g. for anything close to 1000w rms you need 0g you can get a decent kit for about $120.

you put a 1000w amp on 8g power and ground your either gonna fry the amp or catch your car on fire! do your big 3 as well.

if you want good sound you have to spend good money! there's no such thing as a good cheap system. (depending on what you think is cheap) if you think you can get a good system for $500 .... no not gonna happen. you can get a decent amp and sub for that price but now you need wires,deck, components, Comp amp, fuses, battery terminals, big 3, box, deadner, more wire, ..... the list goes on and on.

right now i have around 3,000 into my system. still need to spend another $3,000 and then it will be a "good" system.

can you spend $200 and make your trunk rattle.... yea but that's all your gonna get... trunk rattle.

ive spent $300 alone to get my trunk to stop rattling!

don't mean to sound like a Dick but this is the truth! this is a expensive hobby.

oh try not to buy used, most of the time your buying someone else headache..
