How much did u spend on your system?

[NateS]

-10" Sub in a wooden carpet wrapped box - FREE
-200watt amp -FREE
-Preinstalled Pioneer headunit from prev. owner -FREE
-Preinstalled sub wiring to underneath the pass. seat -FREE
- 8' feet of speaker cable - $2

A grand wopping total of $2.00. It doesn't rattle near by car windows but, it adds just enough bass to my favorite songs.

Lucky bastard...
When I when to test drive the Talon the guy had a nice system in it. When I went to buy it the system had been stripped. I guess its ligit tho since it wasnt part of the description.

what wireing kit do u guys suggest? my amp is putting out 500 watts

[new2mitsu]

at 500 watt amp, all you're gonna need is 8 guage wire, but if you plan on upgrading in the future, you might as well run 4 guage now....

[Yajin]

i am gunna do 4 gauge but what about the fuses? how big are they my amp says 250 fuse

i was thinking http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....#productdetail b/c i have the 500 watt 4 channel then the 450 watt mono

[SilvrEclipse]

I think I run a 160amp fuse. You dont really need a 250amp fuse, thats a little over kill. Also I would never pay $120 for a damn wiring kit. I got mine from a Nortans stereo here, 4ga kit for like $40. If you need the wire split, you can buy a distribution box separately and then a short piece or 8ga. wire. You might have $60 in it by then.

$120 for 2 amps thats a 2 amp wiring kit so 60 bucks eatch and then i dont have to mess with it i just put it in

[SilvrEclipse]

Do what you want man, I was just letting you know it could be done a good bit cheaper. But that kit would be the easiest way to go.

[Yajin]

Yeah thanks for the adivse

[vanilla gorilla]

If you got a true 500 watt amp I would run 4 gauge wire. For 4 gauge wire you need 150amp fuse

[Yajin]

i got the Alpine MRP-F550 so i am pretty sure its putting out 500.

ok good i didnt want to have to buy a bigger fuse also 150 amp fuse comes with the kit

this is how much I spent on my system about 3-4 years ago

Pioneer HU:$200
2X 12' Xtant (hex series subs) $550 (both)
JL 300/4 $250
JL 500/1 $450
Optima (yellow top) $130

Total $1580

now, alot of you would say I got ripped off on a few of these, but back when I bought them this is how much they costed when you bought them at a car audio store.

Blackcrow,

you had mentioned in an earlier post about ebay, the thing with me was I didn't want to buy my stuff online cause at the time I didn't trust the internet/ebay on buying expensive electronics at the time. Also you don't get any other warrenty other then the crappy one the company gives you.

8 tweeters
3 sets of door speakers (all around)
6 diff boxes
and dynamatt in the trunk
