Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 268 Registered: Sep-05 | there's nothing wrong with e-bay if you watch the seller's feedback. Make sure they have a score of 95% EXTREME LOWEST and up. Also check for any recent negative feedback. Double check on shipping costs too. As far as getting a system for $500, i'll leave that up to Rovin. He's the champ when it comes to putting together budget systems. |
Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 269 Registered: Sep-05 | btw, was the $500 just for a sub(s) or amp? Or sub, amp, deck, speakers, wiring, and box? |
New member Username: ScottrschmitzPost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-05 | sub and amp, and the wiring i guess cuz that cost 100$ so really like 400$ on the system |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 3310 Registered: Jul-05 | or buy Chauncey's $175 type X & a Hifonics bx1500d amp ....... |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 3311 Registered: Jul-05 | Thomas White (i think) has that Hif 1500 amp for $150 + s/h can't go wrong @ all with that deal .... |
Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 282 Registered: Sep-05 | that would get insanely loud. That's an excellent price, considering that it was only used like 4 minutes or something |
New member Username: ScottrschmitzPost Number: 8 Registered: Nov-05 | well i think im goona buy 1 12" infinty subs so would that amp work good with those |
Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 237 Registered: Dec-04 | need more details on that Infinity sub to recommend an amp! |
Bronze Member Username: Themax96seUSA Post Number: 73 Registered: Jan-05 | If you mean the infinity 1242W, it may not be a bad idea. I was actually just looking at these, and you can buy them at your local CC right now buy 1 get 1 free: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=119551&c=1&cm_re=main%20marq uee-_-Buy%201%20Infinity%20subwoofer%20get%201%20free-_-Infinity%2012 For under $120, your getting two decent 12" subs together 600 RMS. Go get a dual encl. for $40, and maybe a audiobahn or hifonics amp for under $175. Speakers: $120 for 1242W @ your local Circuit City Enclosure: $40 (I get mine at pawn shops for $20-40) Amp: $138 AUDIOBAHN A8002T @ eBay - choose 2 ch amp, for bridging @ 4ohm $120 + 40 + 138 = $298 I second using knukonceptz wires from eBay... you can surely get these wires and some other things you may want to add to your system for the other $200. The buy on the Type-X and hifonics is not a bad idea either. BTW, I make some of the best budget systems as well. I actually specialize in them, since I started out myself trying many of my own. -------------------------------------------- I got a few things priced to sell: Amplifiers: JL Audio e4300 - $230 NIB (NEW in Box) JL Audio e1400D - $250 NIB (NEW in Box) Phoenix Gold Tantrum 500.2 w/LPL44 bass knob - $150 (Like New cond.) In-Dash CD Player: Alpine CDA-9807 - $125 (Good Cond. no rem) Will eBay these items soon as I take pics. Interested? e-mail: themax96se@yahoo.com |
