you can get a universal install kit from circuit city for like 15 bucks, metra or something that will allow you to put in pretty much any cd player, circuit city had a pioneer, head for $89 (not premier though)

It is kinda hard to tell how much money I will beable to save. but I think $300.00 or $400.00 for the whole system would be a number to shoot for if not more. I know that wont get me much, but my last system which I still have was 2 Jenson 10 inch subs and a 250 watt Road Gear Amp And it had really good bass and was less than $200.00 well $300.00 with the Sony headunit which I still have, but I want somehting new that plays MP3's. Maby I will just start with 1 sub and then move up later, but all I need is a amp that pushes the subs and thats it otherwise it has a really good 6 speaker system in it already.

I've never heard that stuff exactly. I've heard alphasoniks REALLY expensive stuff and it was very loud. I would imagine that it's not going to blow out your windows but the amp would be sufficient for the subs since it is designed for it. Usually I would advise people not to get something like that but for the money you can't beat 2 subs and an amp for like $169.

$199+$99 shipping is a deal but I dont see me paying $99 for shipping I think I would rather buy cheaper stuff then pay that much shipping.

The MTX seems like a good deal with one of those headunits it would be about what I want to pay+amp wiring kit and it still isnt bad.

I was lookin into all kinds of subs and amps, when i bout my system, i had about the same amount of money you are willing to spend. I would go with either kenwood headunit or panasonic headunit(i have a panasonic) both are very resonably priced. As far as subs and amps, i have a 1200W sony that hasn't ever given me trouble, MTX i think have the best mid-priced subs, I have 2 DVC MTX Thunder4500 i can vouch for them, they sound really good for their price. Might also want to try some american Bass subs. Personally i would stay away from those all in one systems, some of them are insanely underpowered. I have couple friends that bout those pre-made systems, one bout a dual system when they were on sale at best buy the other bought a Sony pre-made. Both sound horrible compared to my 1200W amp+2 DVC MTXs. Try some local shops u might be able to get some good deals.

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...
|
the priemer's are only about $20 more than the similar "base" version because the only real difference is a higher voltage output...

alot of the ones i looked at have better eq's, more output, more pre outs, higher preout voltage (this is important), better built in crossover options, etc.
and vtolds, i'd go with that fosgate package, and add another of the same amp, run one on each speaker bridged, put a 4g to your batt. and a distro block in the trunk.

So is the Rockford Fosgate Better? If I got the Rockford Fosgate I would have to buy a box and the Box they recomend is $94.00 making it more than the MTX Setup.

Hey Danny, please post your price ranges on these components: Hu, subs ( number of how many, what size you prefer, what enclosure you want, and price each ) and the amout you can spend on an amp to power the subs. If you don't know what type of enclosure you want or need, please give you preference as-to what kind of sound you're looking for, OR[i] what type of music you listen to.
If you list all these things, it'll help the rest of us tremendously. Once I get more time, I'll try and help ya track down what's best for you. I don't wanna pat myself on the back, but I seem to be pretty decent @ hunting down the best prices on components.
Oh, and one more thing: We'll need you zip code aswell. To get the best bottom-line price, shipping is ALWAYS a factor, especially with subwoofers. B)

I listen to Rock, Alternative mostly. I would say that I would like to spend $400.00 Total. I would like either 2 subs or 1 that would be comparable sound to the 2, 10 or 12 inch and a good mono amp to push the sub/s. I would like a headunit that can play MP3's cheaper the better but one that matches good with the setup. My area code is 05641.
I found these Alpine SUbs on crutchfield for Buy one Get one. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-yMDfpqScUN0/c...arch=SWE%2D1041
