I've been to a couple of places to check out what i'd be paying for the type of basic system that i want. I've gotten a lot of the $600 dollar range, when all i really want to spend is 400 max, preferably lower. I found this bundle on best buys website and it seemed like a really good deal, especially since all of it seperately priced out to be $500 bucks. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....prd50800050001
Has anybody gotten this bundle? How's it sound?
Finally for you guys who work at best buy, how much would i be looking for installation?

 

i personally wouldn't get that i am not a big fan of there regular components (only stereos and powered subs). try sounddomain.com they have really good deals all the time .

 

or try www.woofersetc.com they have some good deals sometimes

 

yea - honestly, i wouldnt buy anything from Best Buy at regular prices. The mark up is enormous....

however, i work there so i get a sweet ___ discount ;)

granted, best buy is a great place to hear what you want to buy, but then id say buy it online somewhere

 

Dead link.

 

yea, i saw that - dead link.....was that a Pioneer or Kenwood bundle?

 

it was kenwood

 

yea, unfortunatly you wont be able to get that anymore...that was last week's special

And next's weeks doesn't seem to be any better.....a pair of Dual 12'' subs in a box - at least i think thats what itll be, there was a lot of them in the truck..

 

Where's a good place to get stuff pretty cheap? Could you guys suggest a good simple set up? Like what would be a good bundle under 400 bucks? How much can i expect to pay for installation? Again i appreciate the input guys, even if there's a link to install in a Tc would be better. I"m one of those research and then do stuff correctly type of guy.

 

research and buy is the best way to go IMO.....i do that too

I bought my stuff from www.etronics.com and looked at www.onlinecarstereo.com

If you're looking to get a warrenty on everything tho, make sure its an authorized dealer...im not sure how all that works

im sure others will say more stuff

 

3 more weeks until i can start using my bestbuy worker discount :D

 

For what it's worth, the Best Buy warranty kicks ___... at least it does around here. My iPod I bought from them had a 3 year any-damage-we'll-fix-if-we-can't-we'll-replace-it warranty. Good stuff.

 

yea, i will admit that the warrenty stuff is good...although sometimes those warrenties overlap with the manufacturers (which isn't a bad thing) but its just not neccessarily needed

but you still pay for it...

 

how much does typical installation run at best buy?

 

you got me...yellowxboy??

I work in like 10 hours, so i'll ask a guy over there how much an install would be

Would this be a better buy then what i mentioned before? If so which amp from that site would be a good recommendation for those subs? Also, what else will i need other than the amp/sub and box? I know wires and stuff but which one and does anyone have a step by step guide of installing this basic set up in a Tc? I'm a visual person so anything like that would be great. Thanks again guys

 

i would say the mtx 4202 looks like a pretty good match for the money if you run it bridged. also the kicker 04kx150.2 bridged to 4 ohms.

 

My buddy has a friend who's selling a mint condition 2 JL Audio 12w0-8 Speakers w/Carpeted Box for $100 bucks, is this a deal, i've searched online and since they dont' make them anymore its hard to find.

 

to tell you the truth... ^^^ is total bs... not any damage... if there is signs of abuse... they will not fix... like if you drop it,,, leave it in the heat or extreme cold and the screen break because of that... they will not replace or fix... if you drop it in water they will not replace. now if you need a battery, or if it gets fried when charging then they will fix and replace.. after they send it to the service center for about 6 times... and I know about the no lemon... 3 fixes and they will replace.. but technically.. it is after 3 seperate fixes.. so if you keep taking if back about the same thing or if they don't fix it the first time and you take it back for the same reason... that is still considered the same fix... and yes I did work for bb.. i was in the geek squad so I know all the rules...

 

It would be hard to get a good sound system for under $400... try looking at http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/ ive bought from there and everything is cheap... free shipping on orders over $100
