System plans...
Head Unit: Alpine CDA-9851 + the Alpine KCA-420i to run my ipod thru

Amps:
for speakers-Alpine MRP-F240
for Sub-MRD-M301

Speakers:
back-Infinity reference 5002i
front-Infinity reference 5000cs

Sub:
JL Audio 12WO-4...already have
--------------------------------------------------------
Total cost for all of the items on e-bay....665.00 and after shipping costs, probably about 750.00...
Not a bad price tag for building a decent system on a budget.

 

why not do the components in the front instead? other than that should sound great!

 

oops, I mixed them up. The ref5000cs is the componet system for the front...sorry. Ill edit it

 

I think the tC has 6 1/2 in the fronts so you would probably get the 6000cs instead.

also if your going for the same brand amp might as well get the same type....match your MRP-F240 with the MRP-M350. IMO it'll look nicer.

 

Or, I could just go with one amp for everything...any recommendations?
Maybe the MRV-F450?

 

Do two separate amps, you'll be glad later on.

 

hmm...I think theyre 5 1/4 but 6 1/2 will fit.

 

good job on the alpine and infinity..

alpine amp
infinity components for me.

 

thats a pretty good set up, but if your looking for more clarity from your component speakers, i would recommend mb quarts reference, but thats just my opinion.

 

I think the Infinitys will be just fine. I looked into the MB quart ref and talked to a few people and what I got was the infinity ref were about as close to the mb quart that you could come without actually paying the price. Im not hard to impress.

 

Hehehe so am I...that's why I'm still waiting for the stock speakers to blow. so as for now I just have my alpine cda-9835, my mtx amp and sub and stock speakers.
