Ok, this system is for a friend, who has a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado Ext. Cab.

He already has a brand new Pioneer 6800MP Deck, so the cost of the deck is not necessary, the $500 is just for a sub, amp(s), and speakers.

He needs a 12" decent sub (between sound quality/loud), a box (could be built), an amplifier (or two, depending on if we can power the front speakers and the sub with one or not), and a pair of component speakers.

Plus the cost of wires and stuff like that. So, $500 for:

Component Speakers
Amplifier(s)
Subwoofer
Wires
Box

Installation will be done by a friend in the business.

Let me know what you guys can come up with. He isn't looking for mega-bass, or mega sound quality, you know, something in between (SQL is it?)

hey there, wassup dude?

That's pretty low budget to work with. I can't suggest crap, so here's the closest I can come up with for good quality gear for under $600 before wires and box.

Alpine MRV-F345 amp for 75w/ch x 2 plus 300w for $250
(eBay or ikesound.com)

Cool but do you think I should get the ID or the IDQ? Which will sound better?

Anyone else?

That should sound good for your friend. Its around 500 bucks so still in your budget. Good luck.

The IDv3 is less money than the IDQv2.

The IDv3 has a little better low-end, but the IDQv2 has a little better SQ.

For the given budget system, go with the IDv3. It still has good SQ, so don't worry.

i have an alpine amp i'm wanting to get rid of, brand new never used. its a mono 700 watt max. An identical one does great with my 2 12" jl dvc's. I'd like about 110 shipped. Let me know if you're interested

 

[FocusInCali]

it'd help to list the model number

prices and such should be kept private as well

 

[TB_6230]

its an mrp m350. I posted from my bed last night, too lazy to check the number.
