Thoughts on an audio system

[Mad Monkey]

Yeah. I found my gmos-01 for $60. It makes life easier to have the proper kit. Wiring isn't that hard. Just follow the install sheet

[tayl5645]

Alright Monkey I ordered the harness. Got the full GMOS04 kit for 50$ so come next week this crap will be in until then the DVD player is shelved

[Mad Monkey]

Good stuff. Not the shelving part lol
So for the next week work on sumthin else lol

[tayl5645]

I have no money until next friday when the 1grand paycheck comes from work.. So ill be working on... hmmm my tan in the pool? I think so. Or looking for more stuff to buy when I get payed... Prolly the second one

[Mad Monkey]

It's always the 2nd one.

[tayl5645]

Unfortunatly with working 8 hours a day in front of a computer... yes yes it is

[tayl5645]

GMOS arrived today however, the heat index the next 3 days is supposed to be over 100*.... I have a feeling its going to wait until a weekend project. Cause however much I wanna see this thing go in Im not sure i wanna die installing it lol

[Mad Monkey]

fair enough... funny enough, im actualy selling my current HU (one i got a few weeks ago) and upgrading to a different one lol I made a bad choice first time around

[tayl5645]

Well its going to be delayed a lot longer.. possibly another week... Stupid ebay seller didnt send a piece of the unit with it. Missed the important connector with the RCA hookeups... About to go ballistic and if its not settled today Im opening a claim with Ebay

Also since I know you look at this normally monkey :P

2300W Boss Phantom 12" Subwoofer + Visonik Mono Amplifier + Kit
know anything about the brand? If its a decent brand that looks like a sick deal Ill just have to get a box made for it

[Mad Monkey]

doesnt look bad to me, but im no audiophyle.. gonna have to get like 1800 collect or matt to weigh in.

[2000GTGP]

i highly advise against buying that bundle you linked. How much are you wanting to spend on Sub + Amp? We can probably find something decent within that range.

[darkgreenmetallicgp]

Bosses subs are bad, but their amps are ok, Visonik was good back in the day before they got bought out by a chinese audio company. I would recommend craigslist, MAKE SURE you test out equipment BEFORE you buy. ive bought many systems on there. Right now i have a 12in alpine type R with a 300 watt alpine amp that i both got for 150 bucks with the box. Just look around. Also, dont go out to bestbuy and buy a 90 dollar wiring kit. Go with something like this....BOSS KIT-2 8 AWG Amplifier Installation Kit

or this....BOSS KIT-10 4 AWG Amplifier Installation Kit

[tayl5645]

I was hoping no more than the 150$ range. Dont have a ton of money. And im just looking for entry level sound. Im no audiophile by any means so I wont notice all the small stuff some of you guys will.

[Mad Monkey]

So... ive been waiting! I wanna see install pics!

[tayl5645]

We didnt get any pics while installing!!! I know i know taboo but we were in the garage for 6 hours did two decks (me and my buddies mustang) and subs in his car. I will get pics of what it looks like in tonight when im home from work. Also do to my issues with the wiring harness Sonic is cutting me a slight deal on shipping of the sub I want. So most likely that will happen in the next few weeks

[tayl5645]

Bringing this back What do you guys think?
2 12" rockfords in sub box/800w sony Xplod amp

[Mad Monkey]

go into it expecting not much.. see if he will do 150-175 then your gold.
cheap system means not a huge issue if it explodes

[tayl5645]

My intentions were exactly to talk down to 150$

[dpzelenak]

if you want entry level
i suggest these Orion® Car Audio - CO124S - Cobalt? Series 12-Inch 500 Watt Single Voice Coil 4 Ohm Subwoofer
i have 2 of them and i love them there, there cheap and have a great sound mine are pared with a colbolt amp too, and its only 500w but its more then enough..its not nothing to brag about but for what i was looking(something cheap and the hits and sounds good) i couldnt be more happier,
ive had this set up for 3 and an half years and never had a problem at all
this is just my .2 cents take it as you want

[I800C0LLECT]

Orion eh? I'm not a huge fan of Directed Electronics :/

I'd suggest this instead...
