Starting from Scratch

I'm kinda new to aftermarket audio products and I need a little help. If you are starting from scratch and want to get to a sick audio system how much does it take. I'm not exactly sure what I need. Obviosly a reciever, subs, enclosures. But do you need an amp? do you need smaller speakers to replace the stocks? How much money would you be looking at? Any help would be great, Thnx.

Re: Starting from Scratch

completely depends on your definition of "sick"

competition-level in SQ?
probably around $3-4k, plus a BUNCH of time fiberglassing, tuning, etc

competition-level in SPL?
depends on your class, but if you didn't focus on the front stage you could probably do well in one of the lower classes for under $2k, plus a lot of time designing and building boxes/wall

street beater SQL?
maybe $1500-4000, again all depends on how far you want to go

simple system that's better than stock and includes sub(s)?
$800 or so

Re: Starting from Scratch

headunit - $300
front components - $3-400
front stage amp - $300
sub - $3-400
sub amp - $300
wiring - $100
box supplies - $50
deadening - $50
total - $1700-$1900

This is for a VERY well rounded system, if you wanted you could add some cheap rear coaxs for under $100, to give you a little ambiance, but I would try it without them first to see if you even need rear speakers.

Re: Starting from Scratch

true, it's not that hard though, and you don't have to be an audio genius to be able to build a wooden box

If you're not comfortable making your own, you would probably want one custom built for you, which will range from $100-$200 depending on what you want.
