New System

Hey guys,

I have friend who is just about to get a car (Acura TL, the older model, like 2004 maybe) and wants to put a system in it. He has about $1K to spend after setting aside some for wiring/installation of the electronics and some for MDF for the sub enclosure. He already has some JBL components for the front stage (not sure the model, but 70 watts RMS), so thats taken care of and I don't think he really cares about rear stage.

So that makes $1000 for:

Head Unit- ??? any ideas?

Mid/High amp- Rockford Fosgate P400-2, Sundown SAX-125.2, Sundown SAX-50.4, others???

Sub Amp- Sundown SAZ-1000D, others? I figure thats probably a good amount of power to start him out with

Sub(s)- This is a trunk car, so not too much space, but he will probably be willing to give most of it up for bass. I can get measurements later, but I would guess 1 15" or 2 12" would be a good fit. Also, he is more concerned with loudness than sound quality. He likes to hit the low notes (i built him an 18" for his room tuned to something like 25Hz and he loved it), but as long as its not a fart box he will probably be happy with it.

Initial thoughts for subs are:

2 12" Incriminator Audio 187's

1 15" IA Lethal Injection

1 12" Sundown SA-12 (leaves room to add another later)

1 15" Fi SSD or Q

1 Audioque HDC3 either 12" or 15" depending on price

any others???

Any other things like deadening of extra batteries?

One other thing, the shop will give a discount on installation if the amps/headunits are bought from them, so if a mainstream amp would work, that would be great

Any ideas?
