Default best stereo for $50

http://cgi.ebay.com/TIS-700w-5-CHANN...QQcmdZViewItem

i got the same exact one last night from walmart. $25 because the box was all tore up, so i was like what the heck right? its only $25 and i can return it if i don't like it. well i installed it this morning, and the first thing i noticed, was that the installation kit they give you IS A JOKE! they give you a 12 gauge wire for the main power, and i'm like wtf????[&:]


luckly i had some 4 gauge laying around, so i wired it all up. its 700 watts, 300 watt sub, and it doesnt really sound bad at all. its not one that you can hear from a million miles away, but it has really clean bass. i would recommend it to anyone who wants a sub, but doesn't wanna blow all his/her money on one either.

Exactly. This is pretty much what I was looking for, something not wicked expensive but nice

Can you wire an amp with the car's stock wiring? The amp is under the passenger seat, right? Sorry, the only stereo stuff I've done is speakers in my car, and a deck in my car and sister's ranger. Would an amp help sound even without a sub? I just have a couple 150 watt tweeters in the back, plus stock speakers in the front.

you have to use a amp wiring kit, most cars do not come with amps. and yea, u can use a amp without subs (hooked up to regular speakers) but its only if you have higher output speakers. (only makes it even louder)

did you hook your remote line up? its a blue wire (about 18 gauge) goes on the amp, to the back of the radio labled (power antenna) or to the "radio" fuse in the fuse panel?

On your amp you will have the following (GRD, REM, PWR) ( - + , - +. etc.)
