Alrighty, sounds good

with car audio it's a lot of trial and error, that's why it's an expensive... "hobby" if you will. you'll buy this system, and then you'll want bigger and better within a couple months. it happens.

yeah, i can't really give any feedback on powerbass equip. as i haven't heard any. but if you hear it, and you like it, then that's what matters.

I haven't heard much about them, but I believe it's a pretty good company. That site has them under High Quality, and they pretty much know what they're talking about.

True, i personally don't like buying used, but you can get good deals that way. But like i said before, what you can always do is buy the sub/amp/wiring first... and just have it set lower so it doesn't drown out your interiors until you buy new ones

But if upping it more is absolutely not an option, then i'd look into ebay, just make sure who you buy from has a lot of good feedback, and also make sure the stuff is new, and not used or refurb.

Buying from one website isn't necessarily bad... But if you do want to do that then elemental designs would definitely be the best route, i would think... since they do give 15% off of packages. But again, for a GOOD, complete setup (frontstage, amps, sub(s), enclosure, wiring, etc.) even 750 is gonna be tough.

lol anytime, i'm glad i could help. lemme know if you have any other questions.

Legacy is pretty terrible, and power acoustik isn't great... actually, take a look at this forum. This will give you an idea of where almost all car audio brands rank for quality. http://slumz.boxden.com/showthread.php?t=419293

1 18... I would say see if a friend builds them or a friend of a friend, so you can get a deal. but if not, i would make a thread on here seeing what people on here charge to make them. Otherwise you're gonna be paying a lot.

Alright, if you're lookin to get good front speakers + amp too you'll definitely need to up the budget lol. I don't know too terribly much about front components, but here's what i'm thinkin. Make sure you use the Package Builder. It's on the left hand side of the eD site. You'll save 15% by buying it together. 18" 19Ov.2 (Dual 2) eDi 6000s v.2 Components NINe.2x Amp (for sub) NINe.2 Amp Total = $701.25 Plus enclosure for the sub and wiring. I'm not sure what's required for the installation of the components. It's more than you were lookin to spend, but you will definitely not be disappointed. Or, if you wanted to wait on the components, you could just use the stock interiors that come with the vehicle, and just adjust the gain on the sub amp properly so it doesn't drown out the highs. The NINe.2X gives out 600watts rms at 4ohms bridged and the rms on the 19Ov.2 is 600rms. So you would wire the sub in series to get a 4ohm load. There are diagrams on the net if you google "sub wiring". But you'd be better off having someone who has experience do it, and you watch just to get the feel of how to do things.

What do you mean by give you a build?

Bolt the sub box down? I wouldn't think you'd NEED to. Each 16ov.2 is 52lbs. So depending on the box it'll be close to 150lbs. those look like the 18" model. You could do the 18's, it would only be about 18$ more. lol. But that would be an excellent setup.

It's ok... I was referring to Elemental Designs. (www.edesignaudio.com) If you go to the site, click package builder on the left side. Selecting what you want this way will get you 20% off as opposed to buying them separately. I hate suggesting a non-FI brand on the FI forum, lol, but it's better to be unbiased I guess.

However, if you upped your budget to 1000 you'd be able to do FI and probably get a louder setup.
