Is this system a good buy?

heavychevylover · #1 10-29-2003, 08:35 PM

I know nothing about car audio but I do want to have a lil thump in my ride. Nothing extravagant, just simple and cheap. First, I just bought a 1990 Sable GS will any cd player fit? What should I look for when purchasing one? Second, I found a complete system on ebay. I know it's not going to turn heads, I'm not looking for that, I would like to know if it's worth the money.

All of it is not worth buying, I can get you good deals on good stuff.

heavychevylover · #3 10-29-2003, 09:29 PM

For around the same prices? I don't want to spend more than that.

Haibane · #4 10-29-2003, 09:32 PM

how much do you want to spend

heavychevylover · #5 10-29-2003, 10:02 PM

No more than a couple hundred and thats including the head unit. For the money the system above isnt a good deal? Could I get something else at those prices?

i wouldnt do it. you can compile a set of low name parts that will sound better than that. that also isnt a complete system its missing two speekrs.
ill grab you a list in a sec.

heavychevylover · #14 10-29-2003, 11:08 PM

Ok guys thanks for the help I really appreciated. Now how am I going to install all of this? Is it relatively simple? I really want to do it myself mainly because I am frugal so any how to's will be appreciated.

Haibane · #15 10-29-2003, 11:20 PM

What do you want to install? An Amplifier? A headunit? speakers? www.crutchfield.com has some great guides based on your car
