hello i am 16 no quite a bit about cars iv worked on them my whole life, dads a drag racer but i just got my 2000 shevy silverrado extened cab and i want a audio system in it from my job i have saved up $1000 i think instead of building this myself which looks impossible for me haha im gonna have someone doit for me in town but i think i am gonna buy the parts online to really get what i want and i was hoppin you guys could help me can somone show me a list of parts for my price range that would be great i was thinking of 4 new reg speakers that are on the doors and 2 subs under the back seat
man I would do it all yourself I'm 16 also and I've installed about 10-15 systems by myself... you could build the box and everything and everyone on here will help you out! anyways what kind of system are you looking for? an sq (sound quality) or spl? is there any brands that you are wanting? and do you have an aftermarket head unit yet?
man do it all yourself. I am on the same boat as you, but i am 15. started caraudio at about 13 or 14. trust me, its not that hard. you can do it. I'll see what i can find for you. 1000 and DIY is a nice budget to work with.
alright then i think i will give it a shot.. so far i dont have anything the only thing really that seems like its gonna be really hard for me is building and installing the box for the subs also the fitting of the deck into the stock one seems kinda hard to but as far as sound goes i want good quality but also i would like to be heard and that is all i have decided on. but were does everyone buy there parts?
to start off i want you to measure the deepest possible it could be from the bottom of the seat to the floor. that will give us a good start for the subs. depending on what we want we go to different places sonicelectronix.com millionbuy.com edesignaudio.com audioque.com hifisoundconnection.com dcsoundlab.com those are a few. browse around and then give us an idea. i will give you some suggestions later cause i am in World Geography right now haha
well i just measured the back seet to the floor and its only about 9 and a half inches deck http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10339_Kenwood+KDC-138.html subs http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19486_Kenwood+KFC-W2512.html front speakers on the door http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6465_Kenwood+KFC-1660s.html back door http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8960_Kenwood+KFC-4675C.html and i have no clue what do get for an amp my buddy said atleast a 600 watt amb but i think it needs more but also i have no clue on if the subs are gonna fit
Cutting the panels of the box is the hardest part to do yourself, but home depot and lowes will do it for you for a minimal cost. Just let us know what you want out of this system and we'll guide you toward your goal.
Umm.. this is what i got in mind for a grand. HU http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17693_Pioneer+Premier+DEH-P510UB.html Speakers (Front) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7446_JBL+P650C.html I got a set of JBL's similar to these and i love them! (Rear) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9119_Polk+Audio+db461.html Sub (1 of these maybe) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12256_JBL+P1022.html Amp for front speakers and Sub http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17652_Hifonics+ZXi+6410.html Wiring http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7228_e2+E1000+by+Scosche.html i dont really know how much that is but it shouldnt be over 1000
637 probably 700 with shipping but it all looks good i might add one more sub though just for show haha
well f you wanna go that way, we can do 2 subs and a separate amp for mids and highs and then one for subs too.
2 of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10560_JBL+P1024.html front amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17518_Power+Acoustik+OVN2-600.html sub amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17526_Power+Acoustik+OVN1-2000D.html
sounds good then. When you are ready come back here with some measurements and we will see what we can do for a box for ya.
ok so i unfortunatly dont have a 1000 dollar spending limit i got a hefty speedin ticket the other day and that docked me down to about 700$ could i do something for about 700 without loosing quality?
just did the measurments today the lowest point of my back seat is 7 inch the highest point is 9.2 inches and its 4 1/2 feet long but in the middle is about a inch and a half bump .... also i need new parts that are at a price range between 600-and 700 if that is dueable
