The sub.

One of these amps to power it. I was thinking the Alpine, since it's a class D and will be powering a sub.

Components for the front two openings, 5x7's for the rear.

One of those amps to power the speakers.

What do you all think? I've got a $200 Panasonic H/U that will be up front of it all. Which amps should I go with? It's a low budget system. I think that set up will sound pretty good for the money. Opinions?

I see Kicker and Crutchfield in all of those links, neither of which would ever fall into the catergory of a decent budget system.

Profile amps
CDT CL-61A's? ($100 set)
Build your own box
Kv2 series eD subwoofer

Maybe $200 in amps there, $100 in speakers, $40 for a box, $100 for the woofer, $70 wiring and misc.

So youre sitting at just over $500.

I'm not wanting to spend over $600. I'd prefer to spend less.

I listen to classic rock, new rock, metal, alt rock. All kinds of rock. Sometimes I'll play other stuff if I'm in a bassy mood.

I plan on a sealed box, for tighter bass.

And crutchfield rapes you on their prices. Ebay's a lot cheaper.

If you are too lazy to research what Seight gave you, here is agreat starter system.

Comps for the front: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=52 07$100

Amp for Comps: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2839 $55

Sub: http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?products_id=721$70 (Best deal you will find for a very long time, buy it quick)

Amp for Sub: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/6443$80

Wiring: $30 from wal mart for dual amp kit.

Box: Build your own for $30

That total to under $400 even after shipping and will blow that other setup out of the water.

If you think you need two subs, get two of the 13O's and this amp: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2215$175

And, If you want the amps to match, get this for the comps: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2217$75

That setup is still under $600 with two subs!!!

I think I'll probably go with that set up :) Now the only problem is.... One or two subs! haha. With it so cheap it's hard to decide.. I don't want a ton of bass but if I want to crank it and be heard I wanna do that. What size is that sub?

Edit.. I'm assuming it's a 12" sub?

You just have to jump on those subs quickly. THey are being discounted to lower inventory and have been selling like crazy.
