Botch the mtx's and get something that sounds good. You can get quite a bit of audio equipment brand new off ebay for cheap. Just dont buy garbage. You can get fosgate coax's cheap brand new. I bought 2 pair for my gf and paid under $80 shipped for all the highs. They sound good, as good as most coax's under the $100 dollar range. Theres soemonee on ebay right now selling a bunch of concept subs for like $50-60 a piece brand new. And they are way better than the mtx's, they would eb the equivalent of a JL w3. I would pick up a fosgate amp cheap, i got a RF 400s for under $100 for my front components. Its all a matter of doing a little research to find what you want dont just buy something cause its cheap, you can get stuff you know is good for the same prices or a bit more. You can run your stock head for the time being, but it will make a big difference in your overall sound if you upgrade. Sell your stock deck on ebay they usually go for $100 or more. PM me if you have any questions.

 

xxxsilveradoxxx What are you hitting spl wise? have you had it metered?

 

hey thanks alot guys, i made a mistake it is actually a 2 channel amp not a 4 and the subs are mtx thunder4500's . Im going to go with some subs/amp but i am definititly going to look on ebay first, thanks alot for the pix too xxxsilveradoxxx

 

Wow, xXxSilveradoxXx that is impressive. How does it sound? Looks like a very nicely built up system.

Thanks for the possitive things you guys have said, I've had some haters really **** me off before. I've never had it metered but I'd love to do it, I might get it done next week in Sacramento. I sounds frickin awsome. The only problem is that girls want to sit on the back seat, must have something to do with the subs.....oh well. I want to build another box just like this one only with lots of plexiglass. Neons will go inside and when I get my Katzkin Leather done I'll get the box covered in matching leather. Should look sweet!!! I might get leather installed in the next couple of weeks depending on the LQ9 for sale in the classifieds. If I can't get that I'll build the other box and sell the one I have now. It has four (4) tens (10s) Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2s. I'll let you guys here at ls1tech.com before I list the box on Ebay. Thanks again.

 

check my website, you can see what i did to the Z71 EC. i will admit that it is not the best sounding system out there, but it is a start. have someone custom design you a box. go with 2 10" or 2 12"'s. i would then have them wire a mono amp, 1000 watts or more (2-4 gauge wire). then have another amp giving power to your doors with separates. definitely start with an aftermarket MP3 player. hell of alot better than a disc changer

 

I agree, MP3 is the only way to go. It's a godsend.
