Basswolf Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) im gonna be getting an 87 pathfinder 4x4 soon that has no stereo period. i used to know all the good decks and speakers but since i haven't had a car for a while i pretty much lost touch with everything. this truck im getting has a spot for a single din receiver and im not quite sure the speakers it takes since i don't have it yet. once i get the truck, ill be looking to put something in it but i don't really have much money. my budget will likely be 200 or less so i know i cant go for bass just yet but what can i get for a deck and speakers that would be fairly cheap but not walmart junk(off brands like dual and jensen)? also might need help wiring it up. i guess the owner before my friend had it did a real hack job on the wiring so most likely hard wiring the system in which i could probably figure out, but i suck at running wires and making it look clean, and Ive never ran any speaker wire thru doors and panels, only for a sub in a single cab truck which is hard to fuck up lol. this wont need to happen any time soon, probably sometime after January, but im just wanting to get some advise and take my time to shop around. thanks for any help anyone may be able to provide and keep up the great work steve! cant wait to get a demo some day once i have a vehicle and can get around. or if your ever in roseville haha.

Not to make it sound like we're picking on you but you set a budget and specified that you didn't want walmart just. But I believe there's "walmart junk" that costs more than your budget. And to give you some advice, save up a little more. I'm not saying you need to spend a couple thousands on your system but at least spend a good amount on your deck since that's what runs your whole system. If your deck is sending a dirty signal your amp it getting a dirty signal and that means your amp is sending a dirty signal to your subs and that ultimately means you subs are going to be blowing some magic smoke pretty fast.

And look where i'm at now! Pretty sure when SMD started off, he had walmart junk too. But on the real, you are gonna need some more money. No way you can buy a deck, speakers, and wiring for under $200 w/out it being walmart, or biglots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryderonthestorm Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 They sell some pretty nice Pioneers at walmart. My GF's Pioneer deck came from walmart and we have never had a problem with it. I would never personally use anything from there but Im just saying not all their stuff is "junk".

I would never personally use anything from there but Im just saying not all their stuff is "junk". there was a thread on that "walmart" pioneer you're speaking of. apparently its made with very low quality parts and probably designed by their C-team.
