Sound Systems

[redwater_12 0]

I'm looking at an entirely new sound system for my truck. everything, speakers, subs, deck, you name it. i was hoping a few of you guys on the board could help me out. i want something thats gonna sound good, but isn't gonna cost me both arms and my stick budget for the year.

Thanks

in car audio its all about price, you get what you pay for,look at cardomain.com forums. alot of info

exactly, price can be the deal breaker. You can put together a decent system on a budget, prolly a grand for everything you're looking for unless you go bargain shopping and can catch some price breaks. If you want a killer system a single set of speakers could run you a grand, so it's in what your budget is, what type of system you want (heavy bass, overall sound quality, etc.) crutchfield.com is usually where I start looking since they usually have decent pricing and tons of info.

one viable option is to spec out what youwant and thenwatch on ebay for it to come along, or look on some forums whose members sell car audio. its worth a lil bit of time to buy it piece by piece and save money. example the retail for my system was around 1250 but i only paid 600ish.

How much do you value "both arms and stick budget for a year"? In other words, what is your budget?

If you don't get it all at once it makes the overall cost a bit easier to swallow. I would start with a sub. That makes ALL the difference. You would be surprised how well even OEM speakers work when not asked to reproduce bass. Go from there. The sky (and your budget)'s the limit!
