Okay. I know you're 16 and waiting seems impossible. I definitely understand that. Seeing as you won't be doing the work yourself you will end up spending more than $500 on your system. I would probably suggest a 4 channel amplifier with one or more subs and a different CD player. The SCION unit will work but I think you'll find that it works best with OEM equipment. Plus, Christmas time is near and unless you're getting coal in your stocking I'd ask for audio stuff from the family/significant other/etc. Mark

 

Okay, this would be a pretty good start. A nice sounding system that is fully upgradeable, sound great from the start, and not totally kill you on price. This is a pretty much complete system The only things additional you'd need are baffles for the front speakers, mounting the tweeters somewhere, and some sound deadning materials. This is from http://www.woofersetc.com and I hope that it shows up okay.

Yep, go Elemental Designs! I have all eD in my xB, and I'm just in aww of the sound quality!

 

i think that you should save up your money and go with a really good system the first time around..... if u go with a cheap system then you will regret it when you hear another person with slammin sounds and end up spending a bunch of cash 2 times!

 

^BUMP quality = money

 

ok, so where am i gonna get the money? this 400 is out of my own savings... cant really dig out any more w/o goin into my college fund (which i cant do either so dont say go for it). i know the best deal is to go with the best.... but i dont need to turn my trunk into a giant sound system for 2000 dollars... i just want better speakers, and sub (which is out of my price range) and an amp. 400 bucks should get me that. now if you wanted to GIVE me some money....

CASH AND CHECK ACCEPTED! OR SPARE PARTS! ILL TAKE EM TOO!

lol but fo real... i think ill check out eD just to make sure... but where would i get em installed?

 

Not an audio expert when it comes to wiring, but I think this would work...

NINe.4 - $185
Eu-700 x2 - $75 (This week only)
eDi 6000 v.2 - $95

Total without wiring or enclosure - $355

You can add a dual Eu-700 carpeted enclosure for another $90.

As long as that amp will work out you should have a pretty well rounded system for not much more than what you are looking to spend.

 

start selling newspapers , cut peoples grass and wash cars!!! you can start there.... fly down to hawaii and u can wash my car for $20...

 

I have some bazooka stuff 4 amps/6 12" subs and 2 sets of 6.5 component speakers Audiobahn Crossover as well. Its basically brand new...installed and then un-installed...

Let me know if you want any or all of it I can make you a good deal.

Also got a nice power sunroof that fits in the Xa and Xb approx 24" x 36"

An Injen air intake with Filter for Xa

and 2 universal carbon fiber wrapped exhausts never used just mounted(but never connected)

oh yeah and 2 carbon Formula GT3 APR Mirrors with carbon panels Xa Fit perfect

 

so what do u guys think... the Alpine, or one of the eD design things? i like the latest suggetion... but where would it all go! also where do i but all this stuff!

 

Audiovox Rampage BA-100 Subwoofer with a built in 200 Watt Amplifier
Brand new in the Box $29.95!
I bought one and then bought another two days later. that's why the two different colors. I'm sure you could specify matching colors. A very good ebay vendor.

I purchased two of these units and a stock toyota Bazooka harness ($60). A very simple, straight-ahead install. The seats are down for the photo but the units fit perfectly behind the rear seats and sound great.

If you are a student with a budget, this is a great system.

 

see? the problem is where do you put stuff that needs to go in your trunk? i play trombone so it cant take up too much room or it wont fit.

 

hey man, just keep saving like everyone said, LIKE you i am also 16, but i had $300.00 last month, but been doing some yard work and voluntering and shizit, now im up to $670.00 and im still going to school, lol.. Im waiting till october to load up with the eD sound system.. some guy was telling me about the huge discounts on the Nine.x.v2 or sumthing like that, i dunno not good with sound systems.. but i looked it up and they look sweet! i cant wait, btw, if you need the space i recommend what im doing, putting them under your seat, for i want MAJOR bass too, im a youngster and i like the hip-hop and rock to PUMP! so yeah.. anyway good luck, and once again, JUST SAVE do anything you can find! thats what i did, and im almost up to $700.00 lol

 

Did you try firing them backwared off the hatch? I think they may sound even better then

 

I took your advice and tried turning the subs around but in all honesty I truly think they sound better forward firing. thanks for the suggestion.

 

hmmm.... so i put the 2 subs under the seats... but what about the amp?

 

in the small cargo area next to the spare tire.

 

I no spare and a the stock floor covering multiple amps....

 

im not taking out my spare thank you but ill put it in the spare space for sure!

 

i can put woofer in the rear doors right? what are some good tweeters?
