SOund system suggestions

[Future2001]

Completely redoing my car over the next few months..

I figure since I have to buy new headlights and fix my engine I might as well redo everything on it.. Might take me a year to fix but it will get done... I don't want to buy another c I love my C

Neways what are your suggestions on a system

I have a 94 c280.

Budget: Up to 100 dollars ( spread out of course)

If i can get suggestions I will be grateful.

30-40% should be spent on the radio. the rest on speakers, sub(s), and amp(s):D

I have a nice alpine -v12 5 channel amp for sale in the classifieds.. take a look.. I have 2 of them.. the other is installed in my car... sounds really nice!

You can save alot of money if you have friends or know anyone who can assist in installing items.

Try finding someone on this board in your area who is knowledgeable.

[Future2001]

yes I have a friend who has knowledge in instalation

and with this site and a few other well informed individuals I can get himn whatever information he needs to install the system.

I'm glad I found you guys.

well.. what are you looking for in a sound system?

SQ, SQL, SPL???

what kind of music do you listen to?

[Future2001]

I listen to pretty much everything

rap on a consistent basis

r and b

soul

jazz

I'm not really sure what those abreviations mean...

Ahmm I just want a nice clean sound where certain things don't overshadow others.

Bass is good but if the sound's not clean then what's the point.

u can get a nice enough deck, higher model pioneer or an alpine for $200-$250

something like the pioneer 7500

if you have the bose system i would just leave it (sounds good enough in my c43)

get a used amp, maybe a jl 500/1 for around $300 or less

get any subs,
-jl w6v2 for $300
-3 jl w0's for around $300
-the older fosgate HX2's sound nice find cheap used
-3 mtx 6000 or 8000's arent bad either

$50 for wiring and rcas

and bam! koo system for $900-$1k

How should the EQ be set with the Bose system?? I get great sound but don't seem to get good bass.

It is because there are no speakers to produce sub-bass sound. Does not matter how you set your EQ, when you don't have subwoofer, you will not get the sub-bass.

How much is that whole thing shipped?
