So right now I have the Shaker 1000 system and was looking for a little more...So I went to Audio Express and this is the system the guy put together..

Two 10in Fosgate subs (P2's i think) in one of their premade boxes..
Panasonic dvd flip out head unit..
Kenwood 1000w amp..
4 Boston speakers..


The price he quoted was for complete install, warrenties, and re wiring the whole car for about $2000..


Sound like a good system for a good price? Any suggestions??

(I dont know car audio at all!)

Thanks!

 

thats more amp than you need for those subs. They are 400 watt each subs, i know cause I have them... I would try and get a little smaller amp and instal it yourself... Save big $$$

 

Okk thanks for info bout the amp, its $1 install! Or so they say..hahah

 

you can do much better for the price. i will never buy a system from a stereo shop again. the one i went to has had 20+ cars featured in Car Audio mag so they did good work. but it cost an arm and a leg. just buy your stuff off a site like woofersetc.com or onlinecarstereo.com and have the shop install it for install it yourself. btw if you are willing to spend that much you can get a pretty kick *** system.

 

If your budget is $2k. You can do way way better.


Hell, you could even blow that setup out of the water for under $1k.

 

hmmm alright then, how about some suggestions then...I dont know hardly anything about audio so I need some help here..

 

What is your budget (hard), what type of music do you listen to, are you stuck on having a dvd player. Do you care more about loudness or quality in a stereo.

 

My budget is pretty much $2k or right around there. I listen to a lot of rock (Metallica, Rob Zombie etc) and also Rap. I would yes really like a dvd player also iPod capabilities. As far as loudness and quality goes, I want it to be louder than the shaker 1000 system yet still have good quality. So i guess a mix of both really.

 

Maybe somehting like this....

Thats $1875, will blow away that trash the other store recommended, and leave you with the flexibility of removing the screen after you rearend someone. IT even leaves $125 to help pay the ticket for our accident.

 

Well its obvious you do not agree with dvd in cars and im still undecided on that fact of it..Thanks for your input! Any other suggestions??
