Hey, I need more than a little advice. I don't know anything about subs and amps and head units..so help me out. I've already decided on the Pioneer AVH P3100DVD for the headunit, but am lost when it comes to everything else.
I drive a 2005 Extended Cab with completely stock audio. I want something to fit under the back seat without having to remove the jack. It must not cost too much (about $400 total) and still sound okay...please give me some suggestions keeping in mind I'm new to all of this.


Thanks,
Will

 

well gonna need a amplifier wiring kit, 4 awg for one amp or
an amplifier
set of twisted pair 18ft rca
box,
shallow subs
remote wire 16awg
to fit a 400 dollar budget, alot of time on ebay 800 is a little closer for a starter system http://www.crutchfield.com/index.html

 

Well alrighty then..what would you buy with $800? I'm not asking for the best quality sound, I basically just want more bump..also, will that head unit work with say, the MTX Thunderform made for my truck?

 

the hu is a great start, if u are going the economical route, go with the whole mtx package,thunderform,and amp they match it up with, get a whole wiring kit, call it a day.

 

Okay, that's sorta what I was planning on. Thank you

 

the way i went was i put money in my amps. i prefer jl, that is just my preference.
500/1;$400.00
audioenhance box 125.00
jl 2awg wire kit 150.00

premier shallow s1001s4 10" $200.00 a set
then kinetic 1800hc battery $250.00
300/4 jl 400.00
jl coax door speakers (i dont like these) 160.00 for all 4 i will change these soon
really though if u bought the kit, a box, 2 10"subs and a less expensive amp would be the best, u would be just under 800
the thunderform i have never heard,

 

My 10" sub, 400 watts, box, and wiring ran me about 330. You can save a lot of money by building your own box.

 

nice

 

Search around on eBay. You can build a great system for under $400 if you are not looking for competition winning sound.

 

X2 Love my JL 500/1

You might also check craigslist and ebay for a jl stealthbox I found mine for 300 bucks. sub and box....not too shabby

For a H/U I recommend a Pioneer p3100dvd 299 bucks.... cannot beat it.
