Just out of the names you mentioned, you might need more than 500.00 for the components and amp. I've learned that Bass is great, but, SQ can get very addictive and expensive if not careful, but well worth it (if you love music as much as I do). Hybrids can run in the thousands. Blues, immage dynamics, alpine, (less expensive) all great names and sound amazing. You just have to search and listen for your favorite sounding products. Everybodys suggestions and oppinions will be different. Just a suggestion sir, save up, and best of luck with your search and build. Remember to post a build log with lots of pics. I forgot to ask, I'm an ole fooseball player from a few years back. You play? or is that just a name? Sorry, just currious.
