Hey im just wondering what everyone has and how much they have spent. As for myself, I have an Aiwa deck(its like the cdc 227x or something like that), rockford Fosgate 6.5's up front, sony explod 6x9's in the back(full range), 2 ten inch pioneer subwoofers(500 watts each, in enclousre), 600 watt baja amp for the subs, 100 watt pioneer amp for the 6x9's. I got alot of good deals on all of this, my total is around 450 dollars.

[BumpNGlow]

even canadian bills, thats too much... I hope he is exaggerating his canadian dollars...

[304N]

i know i have spent well over $3500 just this past week...i havethe kenwood kdc-719 head unit,kenwood din sized eq kgc-9044, 2 rf 15' power hx2's, 2 rf power punch 1000's, 2 pair of alpine 6 1/2 separates spr-176A, 2 rf 1.0 capacitors, and a yellow top optima battery, plus all the necessary wiring, fuse blocks, etc....i had my box custom built and i did all my own installation of the rest...next weekend i am getting 2 4' t.v. screens in the visors with a dvd player in the glove box...i am also gonna get a screen on the dash but have not decided whether to get a 5.6' or 7' yet...

[BumpNGlow]

304N -- you definately spent a lot of money on you system, but you could have gotten some better quality stuff for that kind of money. I am not knocking that equipment in any way(RF is not ghetto by any means...), but if I had 3500$ to spend, I wouldn't go w/ an all out RF system. Also, that one Optima Battery and stock alt(I assume) is not gonna cut it. Those RF 1000's will drain your power like mad...<P>and also, go fr the 5.6 or 6" screens in the visors... 4" screens aren't as impressive as 6" screens are.<P>But hey -- be sure to post pics!! And TURN IT UP !<P>[ September 19, 2002: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]<p>[ September 19, 2002: Message edited by: BumpNGlow ]

well i was going with the 4' screen for one because i wanted to try and keep the stock mirrors in the visors..and two i didn't even think to see if the 6.5' screens would fit in the visors....i might have to have a new box built so i can fit another battery in the car for the stereo.....see, i still have my back seat in the car....all my amps,dis block, and caps are mounted on the side of the box....out of site....the box is flush with the speaker grills and is contoured like a slope to go with the back part of the seat....it looks tight...everyone always asks where the hell my amps, etc are...my altezzas shpuld be coming anyday now since they were sent on the 16th....i ordered some 18' arrelli spiga rims (chrome)...can't wait wait to put them on...once i get everything in, i will post pics

[mzdspd]

Sound Laguna 800 watt amp, and last but not least lol, 2 10" jensen subs<P>i plan to get 2 new amps and a 15 in the near future<P>oh yeah and my system cost me a total of less than 100 bucks

You cant compare your sets of speakers cause one set is 6.5 and the others are 6x9's. 6x9's this side of jensen always sound better than 6.5's due the extra mass to produce sound. And unless you have funnel running from the rear speakers to your ears you're not gonna hear any highs from a hatch. I would recommend a mid-range driver speaker like infinity, alpine (NICE :eek , or pioneers high end model if you're looking to stay mainstream. Personally, i had the sony 6x9's, and they were the first thing to go when i opted to create a true SQL sound stage. I tend to stay away from stereo products you can find at wal mart.<P>The rest of your setup sounds nice. The only other thing i would question is the sound quality of your baja amp. I've heard bad things about them but have no personal experience.<P>But hey man its your system, if you're happy with what you got then rock on
