Its time to start saving money for a system, but not to much money I hope. I am a very cheap person so keep that in mind. I need some help with picking the Headunit, Some good Subs and a good Amp. I am a Audio n00b even though I have installed 3 very simple systems. If you guys can pic out a good setup for me I would be very greatful, if you could only use www.crutchfield.com to find the parts, I think that would be best for me becuase I have bought from them before. :thumbsup: There is no rush on this, will be a couple months if I can save the money.

sorry, I was finding those while you posted your pricerange

Vtolds · 03-04-2005, 06:40 PM

The reason also that I would like people to find components on Crutchfield is becuase Crutchfield includes Bracketing and wiring so I dont have to worry about going out and finding the adapters.

GooffeeAlero · 03-04-2005, 07:22 PM

Ohh ok if the CDA 9851 is too much, then you cant go wrong with the alpine. if your getting subwoofers alpine is the best, becuz the of Bass Engine ,its basically a subwoofer level controller so you dont need a remote bass controller. ive had alpine for a long time, ive actually changed my head unit every year becuz they keep upgrading there look. and i dont mind buy a new head unit every year. i bet those other head unit that you picked out dont have that subwoofer level controll built in. and if they do it not as good as the alpine. and a remote subwoofer controller is like 30 bucks. get the Alpine Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pioneer is always good. I have a DEH-P3600 and I really like it. It also has built in crossovers to filter the bass out of your speakers into the subs. I'm not too sure about the others but you'll probably have to buy other crossovers if you want a good sound.

Screamin eagle · 03-04-2005, 07:45 PM

Profile are ok as far as low quality amps go. How much is that one?

Screamin eagle · 03-04-2005, 07:48 PM

The thing about the headunits is I dont know which ones will fit in the Elantra. THats why I would really like people to find stuff on Crutchfield.

alero_ecotec · 03-04-2005, 08:36 PM

I had a profile amp like that in my old car pushing 2 polk GNX's.....did a pretty good job of it too, really wasnt bad at all for the money i paid from crutchfield. And as far as head units go, i'd pick either Pioneer or Alpine....i have the pioneer DEG-7700MP and it's beautiful.

Screamin eagle · 03-04-2005, 09:28 PM

Alright dude, I think you'll be happiest with the kenwood. I think they make the best cheap cd players.

FormulaNERD · 03-04-2005, 09:33 PM

if you go pioneer, only get a premiere.

memphis subs are tons of sloppy bass.... but if you want tight clean bass get something else.

i picked up some polk momo's yesterday and they sound awesome, i've always wanted some.

whats your price range for amps? i really wouldnt get a cheap amp...
