who hasn’t built a big thumping car audio system over the years, I’ve had many ranging from competition standard to basic upgrades.
My neighbour is 17 and don’t have much money to spend but he wants a big bass thumping punchy system to get the better of his mates who also have upgrades.. what’s your big banging setup for minimal dollars.. his base car is a Subaru Impreza 2007 model hatch
Here’s mine...
Grab a 12 inch subwoofer with the highest sensitivity dB .. some have 95db + @1 watt input. Maybe under $100 for a Pioneer ts-w306r
Grab a cheap aerpro sun box in a porter design. $50 sb1200
Grab a pioneer amp, I’d say something bridgeable at about 200rms is plenty, maybe $85 for such an amp ts- 3704 amp $15 amp install kit from eBay
Grab some 6.5 inch high sensitivity speakers, to save money we will power them off a new deck, about 90db should be a good find , $150 for two sets pick your parts here
Grab a decent head unit with 50x 4, relevant fascia trim piece and looms $150. Kenwood or pioneer easily buyable
Install yourself..
For $550 you could upgrade your sound system which would blow the pants off his mates Harmon kardon setups from their Audi .. they won’t know what hit em or which way to look..
Any more bang for your buck you could think of?
