looking to piece together a budget system for my brother. i need help selecting are the front components, maybe rear fill (might be left stock for now). small sub(s) pair of 8 (thinking sa8's or e8 v2's) and just the amp for the front (im thinking a 2 channel amp and run rear fill off hu). will also need a cheap hu with 2 sets of outputs(and ability to control subwoofer output level from hu)

he wants speakers all around, fine by me but i plan to put something decent up front, could care less about the rear.

goal is cheap decent shit that sounds half ass quarter ass decent.. this will be assembled over time. starting with hu, front speakers, and amp. then later sub.

car is 04 nissan sentra. stock locations are 6-3/4" all around, not sure on depth.

my choices so far.

front stage (budget around 100 bucks) pg rsdc 6.5's or Bravox Audio CS60D for 120

-just by looks i think the bravox option will be the way to go but i've not seen reviews yet

rear fill - has some stock speaker back there now that we could leave for now. but open to suggestions

amp for front stage- (budget around 100 bucks) maybe i should look for used equipment but here is what i found new.

--------amp-----------------------$ _{(prices from sonicelectronix, can post individual links if needed)}

-Soundstream TRX2.550 - 100

-Soundstream PCX2.540 - 100

-Crunch GPV 1000.4 - 95

-Crunch GPV 1600.4 - 114

-MB Quart DSC 480 - 120

hu (budget around 100 bucks) -> clarion w/ usb - $75

subs (budget will probably vary quite abit here between 100 and 250 dollars, just looking for suggestions)

i should mention sub amp is currently this (kole audio qx1-3000d (this was going to used to power his 15 l7 before it failed, and before he totaled his last car.. needless to say we wont be using this amp anywhere close to full power. probably wire subs at like 4 maybe 8 ohms.

sa-8 $130 each

e8 - $90 each

heard these are very nice 8s

I've never used these amps and speakers, but they look decent.

I would try the Bravox set just because I know they make good products, and they're from Braaaaaaziiiiiil !

For a budget install, why do you want 2 subs ? One 10" or 12" can be enough.

You did not talk about sound deadening, did you ?

Good luck, and post pics if you can !

couple black FiDay X 10s?

Don't forget to budget wire in there.

Also if you don't want to try the diamonds, you could do the CF coaxials. Their component sets have a great following. These can't be too far behind.

i have some wire and things left over from his last car.. didnt get it all out since he couldnt pop the hood

believe he wants to save space, 2 12's ported would probably fill up that trunk. a single 10 or 12 is also an option.

concerning the rear speakers, stock speakers are toast.. need some cheap rear fill.. he's dead set on putting something in there. looking for cheap stuff

Here is a good rear fill option if he is stuck on being stupid about it.

excellent, thanks m5, i was hoping not to spend much on his stupidity

4's are kind of a joke, but I had seen those and wanted to post

hell they look better then most coax's in the 50 dollar range

if he's on a budget, why spend 260 on 2 sa 8's when u can get a sa 10 or 12?

Last one so pick it up

150 x 2 or 600 x 1 @ 4 for 109 isn't bad

2 8's could take a little more power compared to a single 10 or 12. i agree that he would definitely save money going with a single sub and thats the route he will probably go.

until i see how much trunk space he is willing to give up, sub selection is pretty much in the air.

thanks for the post on the amp. im also looking at some offerings from soundstream and refurbished kickers.

im partial to kickers since i found all of mine super cheap. 2 x kx250.2s for 80 bucks each and a zx100.2 for 50 but i cant seem to find deals quite that good right now haha
