Fyro Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi, I am new here to SMD forums, and have a few questions I was just wondering, what would I need to setup a decent sound system without spending over $3500 I have a few things in mind already: 2x Fi BL 15" subs (can they ship to AUS?) and thats it.. you see.. I really need the know how and what I will need apart from The subs, amps, headunit, cabling, box/wall, split/component system etc.. I don't know If i would need capacitors for a system using two BL's and if I would need Alternators for so little power compared to other more powerful systems. Without going over that 3500 budget, what amp would you guys reccomend? And would you suggest cheaper subs of good quality apart from Fi subs, maybe JL Audio which have very good SQ? and the amps... there are so many, I have been told that Sundowns are good, but haven't heard any pricing.. All i would like to know is what would you guys suggest that would hit hard, sound good and not blow over 3500 and have at least 2000w.. and also ship to AUS?

chud Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Shipping to Austrailia would be a pain in the ass. The conversion rate comes into play as well. For example, a bone stock 15" Fi Bl is $294 american dollars. That's $331.25 aus dollars and that's before international shipping comes into play. And Fi's website only lists US and Canada in the checkout section. OP, you'd most likely have to buy from a middle man.

Heh, must have been in way over my head, I thought that maybe 3-4 grand would do it for a system to begin with... how much would you say the average car audio system is? Say something with 2000w?

CNF Kevosinn Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 you can do subs, box wiring and amp for about 1500 that will slam. now if you need head unit and speakers it can get more pricey. you should have no problem putting a nice complete system together for around 2 grand Quote *** SuperSeller Status Verified *** ( http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers/ ) "kevosinn's" astro van 8 custom Sundown Zv4 18's 4 Sundown scv 6000's CNF Distribution CNC parts Skyhigh wire some batteries SMD Meters and tools used on the installhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172877-kevosinns-vanwest-coast-skyhigh-car-audio-vehicle/ 16,000 watt walled silverado build.http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161965-walled-silverado-4-hdc4-15s-4-crescendo-3500s-and-much-more/ 8,000 watt 1999 Subaru legacy outback.

I found a 600w Pioneer System from JB Hi-Fi for $650 with two 6" splits and 2 9x4" speakers with the 600w amp of course, but There is better out there then pioneer, I know that. But from what I have heard, aren't you unable to run a custom speaker setup with a stock headunit? Without using that thing from Rockford Fosgate?
