The stuff I offered is sofar at 360 and it is new, if you need a headunit I can get that too but it would be around $400 by itself.
alright ill have to check up on all this stuff then but thanks
ya but i think they will be pretty high cuz they was wanting to charge me like over 100 bucks juss to put in my cd player so instead i got friends and it looks done professionally for only 40 bucks!!!
save yourself some money buy building the 3/4" chip board....Ive built a couple myself...costs like 25 bucks...but if you are lazy go ahead and do it that way...if you need help with the build of a box hit me up on a pm

there are reasons why those subs/amp are that cheap. that amp is what is commonly known as a lightning amp, meaning it will only hit its peak power when struck by lightning. a good amp has high rms, usually with pioneer amps you divide max wattage by 3 and youll get the rms. no comment on pioneer subs. dont go cheap with your audio equipment, you will be dissappointed in the long run. i recommend an alpine head unit, fosgate amp, and mtx subs. i have a cda-9851alpine head unit and a 1200watt/600rms fosgate amp with 2 10'' punch p2's. this system sounds really well, would be better with a bigger box, and im upgrading to one mtx 12 7500 thunder series that will hit harder than both my 10's. my setup cost me about 1000$. moral of this setup, dont go cheap.SierraSonic said:

Uhh, Pioneer is only like half of the peak.
The 1000 hits 600 rms. 60% to peak is pretty good. Seems to be better than your 50% rockford. :/
The reason why the are so cheap is because its on ebay, the price is liek 45% of the MSRP.

Pioneer rates their equipment equallying out to about 35% of its peak rating. Even their rms scale is done at 14.4 vplts and not 12. The rated output power of pioneer is very shady. But they do have decent power for the price.SierraSonic said:
The 760 watt pioneer puts out 460 watts at 14.4 volts
at 12 volts ( the true voltage of a vehicle) it puts out roughly 360 watts rms

Why $400.00?SierraSonic said:
You can get an Eclipse CD4000 for less than $350.
You can get a Pioneer DEH-P680MP for under $250 if you're queer for teh Premier
I don't know Alpine too well but I'm sure you can get more than adequate for less than $400.
Want my advise, do not waste your money with lower brands. Because that's all you'll be doing, wasting your money.
Now, in my large amount of testing and trying out different stereo equipment, this is what I've come up with so far:
My favorite decks are Alpine & Pioneer because they give you plenty of control in an easy to control fashion.
For amps, you get what you pay for...I've tested out Pioneers, Kenwoods, Jensens, Rockford, Kicker, MTX, etc. I have to respect Rockford, but MTX and Kicker have worked better for me.
Subs...what can I say....I'm a huge Kicker fan. They've always worked phenomenal for me. Runner up has to be MTX.
To sum it up, $500-600 won't get you much anything that satisfy your ears. I recommend saving up some more, say $1000-2000 and maybe try something like I did. You can check out my page on cardomain, which you can access through my profile, for details.
