silverado system

I'm looking at getting a system for my 2002 regular cab silverado. I know nothing about systems so I'm looking for some advice. What's a good setup to have? I don't want to spend over $600 on it probably. I already have a JVC headunit. I'm just looking for something that sounds real good, and a little bit of bass if I can.

I can hook you up with 2 audiobahn 15s that do 800 rms each in a sealed box that will probably fit well in your cab or so. That is if they aren't sold yet.

Re: silverado system

I'm looking more for advice right now rather than buying anything.

Re: silverado system

It sounds like you're more SQ oriented than SPL. An ed O series would probably work nicely, mated to a 500rms or so amp. For your front stage you will definately want to amp them. Power depends on the set you go with, but I would look for something that does around 100-125x2. Focal, Crystal, and CDT are some good brands to check out for components. The JL XR components are also very good. You most likely will not need rear speakers. If you get a good front stage and some decent power (100+) to each then you won't even be able to tell the rear speakers are back there. They will just make your system cost more.

Unfortunately, for what I listed it will be more like $900, but you can always sacrafice a little here and there (ed K series instead of the O, for example)

Re: silverado system

I've decided to just replace the factory speakers. Which type of speakers are the best, and are relatively cheap?

Re: silverado system

Like Sr20 said, focal, crystal, CDT are great. I would add to it either mb quart, infinity, or boston. Ignore what lewd said I have to say pioneer makes some sick speakers, so sick you could die hearing them.
