they want 500. and 400 with the HU.. i dun need da HU. what u think?>

that price isn't too bad, but none of the speakers have a very high power rating and neither does the amp. the front speakers seem a bit ordinary being only 90 watts and all. you will find that you will have to bridge both of your amps and use one amp per sub and play with the gain so that one sub doesn't hit harder than the other. it is a decent buy for the price but the setup isn't that great and from the power rating sounds a bit old, you will probably find that most of it you will want to replace very quickly. just some advice. :neutral:

Hey there i sounds ok for the price i supose, but as s0011680 pointed out the power rating is a bit low, also i wouldnt go for the 6x9's if your getting subs, beacuse if you amp them they will compete with the subs as 6x9's are a bass speaker, just get a good pair of 6" for the back. I would try and get two 4 channel amps so you could run a sub of each plus the backs of 1 amp, then if u ever get splits or whatever in the front you can amp them to. Ive got 4" in the front they dont go awsome but i didnt want to cut my door trims so thats what i did.

Use the subs in a home theatre system, use the amps to power the front speakers and the other for the 6x9's. Umm i think you might be a little disappointed with the sound, but yeah at least you will get a sub box and some wires out of it. :D

dude, don't go avalanche. you will only be disappointed with the outcome. they are a cheap, crappy brand. with 500 u could get alot better. im guessing u have all stock speakers at the moment?

pioneer splits will give u some decent sound wen amped for around $180. some decent 6" speakers, maybe $150? they don't have to be the top stuff as you just use them for fill in. with the extra $230 u can get a pretty decent amp. get a 4 channel amp. im getting a boss 4 channel 1000w amp for $189 RRP. they are good for the price, and arent as bad as ppl make them out to be. i have friends with this amp and have been running it powering splits and a sub for a very long time without problems. (get a noise filter for it too, get rid of the alternator noise. around $20 or so i think the are.) then use the amp to power the speakers for the time being.

may have to wait longer for everything but hey, u will be alot happier with the sound quality.

No offence dude but you stated "dude, don't go avalanche. you will only be disappointed with the outcome. they are a cheap, crappy brand. " The internal components used on the avalance is not that disimilar to those used under the head sink of boss amps. My mate had a BA1000, lasted 3months running a SRW3081 Clarion 12inch DVC ( Ch 1 & 2 bridged to one coil 3 & 4 to the other. ) Channel 3&4 died after 2months and he had to get a 4ohm sub.. after that it was all down hill.

Also I have seen a BA1000 ( after I told my mate he was a goose ), brand new get tested to see how much power it really makes. The power was measured at 17WRMS per channel @ 12.6V. :clap: Well you get what you pay for. :D

well im running two of these Boss amps atm, one on each sub and 6" of 1, they dont seem to bad but i knew they were cheap i just need to save up and get some better amps, but for now they are doing fine havnt had a problem yet :confused: now i know somethin is bound to go wrong, heard a far few crappy things bout them!

im sure u could buy a decent 10" sub that would do the work that the 2 avalanche subs would

boss amps have a really bad reputation but every now and then you get a good one. my bf had one powering two 12" clarion subs. it was a 1000w one and generally ran with the gain right down cause it was powering the subs really easily. we entered it in a sound off in a custom box that i designed and it won with a reading of 142 db. not bad for a ****ty amp. i've also heard a lot of bad stories about them too, especially one which put out less power than a HU. i think the best way to go is find someone you know with the one you want to buy and see how its goin.

Just remember, U might not get what u pay for, but U WON'T get what u don't pay for! For that sort of Money, ur lookin at like really CHEAP & NASTY sorta stuff, & I have little doubt u'll regret buyin it!
For that price u'd be lookin at a decent set of front speakers & a cheap-mid 2ch amp.. normally anyways... for that much gear u'd look more round $1200-1500!
4" splits? What the?

Take what I say with a grain of salt if ya want, but I've done 4-5 stereos of varying budgets, & obviously the more u spend the better it'll sound, but that'll most likely sound like the stock stereo with lots of dead soundin bass. :redface:

Mate take some advise from me and everyone else that has posted, they key to a great sounding car audio system, is to save save save, I have noticed your budget is $500? Put that in the bank, and save!!! I can see you upgrading that $500 package... the next week, my mate bought two of them avalanche subs, and fried them! All im trying to say is, To save your money, save up for quality gear, and save up for something you want, not what your budget allows you to get, that way, you will not see your self upgrading all the time, and not getting your money back when selling your 'budget' setup, i hope this makes sense, i just woke up :doubt: Anyways, With that $500 you have now, go find yourself a nice Headunit (mp3, motorized face, remote, etc) Check ou FHRX site for some ideas, JVC, CLARION, ALPINE are some great quality brands which can be bought at good prices, just shop around!!

You live in WA dont ya choonga? Ive got 2 10" Audiobahn chrome basket subs which can handle 400rms each, nice punchy subs, ive got them boxed and ported in a nicely designed box, and a 400rms Coustic monoblock D amp, you keen?

those subs looks sweet. i hope that you have put them in a box with the basket facing out or it would b a true shame. i've never seen anything like it! :D

did u import those audiobahn subs yourself?
i was looking at getting one of the big 15's but not too sure if i trust buying stuff fro the net
i in wa also


that $500 i'd take it and buy a jaycar 4x100rms amp they on special down to $220 or something like that then i'd save up for some quality gear. Quality hence not alphine, pioneer, sony, kennwood or anything from strathfield.

BERRJONA - "Quality hence not alphine, pioneer, sony, kennwood or anything from strathfield."

Not Alpine? I have an alpine deck and if i weren't an audiophile, i'd almost be happy with the stock speakers running through this deck, VERY powerful deck.
Not Pioneer? My first deck was pioneer, while not as good as alpine, does more than want you need. Has "5-band" easy EQ, sub level control. Great decks.
I'd say both of these brands would be great to look at, without a doubt. :confused:
Kenwood i would look at for amps, i have used them and they are tops. Good clean power, not as expensive as other brands, but not cheap nasty stuff like Jaycar.
Many people here swear by Sony aswell (although, not me) [read:Booya] :confused:

I would take any of these brands, any day of the week, over a jaycar amp, regardless of how cheap it is (especially because of how cheap it is).
Sorry, but i have no idea where you got the idea those brands weren't quality? :confused:

Choonga, i would take my $500, buy a $600 deck (get them to bring the price down) and then save for some splits. You will have a high quality deck for that. Or, if you don't need a deck, go into an audio shop and tell them you want a good set of splits and an amp to run them for $500. Go to 5 or 6 different shops and see what you come up with. Tell them you are shopping around and you will simply get the best bang for your buck, they SHOULD give you some good discounts. Its all i did and i got $3400 worth of gear for $2200.

Anyway, sorry about the long post.
Cheers,
Cam.

lol you cant buy Alpine from Strathfield, couldnt even get my stacker fixed from them, Autobarn doesnt even sell Alpine. Alpine, Pioneer and JVC rule the entry level head units. :D

yeh, i already got a 900 dollar Clarion HU :D

ok.. i've won the bid on this Kicker amp. KX300.4.. what doi u guys think? apprently its rather low on power... i won it for 320 dollars. someone told me to just get a responce amp for around the same price.. what do u all think?

It may be lower on power than say the 4x 100WRMS Jaycar but unless you run the jaycar through 3 lots of EQ and filters then i would rather have an amp with 40WRMS x4. Power is not everything when the sound that it produced is sub - standard. What is the amp powering?

atm i have an cheapo sub (California Gold) and i wanna power that and also the front speakers (stock) i'll then be lookin at some splits soon and then after a new sub.

Im thinking of keeping them, and making a nice custom enclosure... lots of perpex and blue lighting :cool:

U say get a jaycar, then get quality stuff ...not Alpine or pioneer?
Dude, Alpine & pioneer put out ULTRA quality stuff compared to jaycar (who are far more industrially biased).. u don't buy a cheap amp then buy quality speakers! It's just silly!

My earlier point was got up the step to Strathfeild level stuff (AT LEAST) & u might actually be happy with the result.
