Complete system for $450

I had this idea to get a decent system together for $450 using some diy stuff. well It was originally for $400, but that combo was deemed obsolete.

it consists of an RE12" woofer = $85
vifa D27 $20 tweeter and silver flute 5 1/2" mid $15, $25 for crossovers. = $75
box and wiring = $50
profile 4-channel amp = $100
Pioneer or whatever Cd player = $100
total = $400 bucks. I think you can use the crossover and speaker info at Zaphaudio.com to build it. it should give fairly flat response in a house. not in a car. but likely ok.

the mids have a 5mm xmax, which outh to tie with most retail 6.5" mids. the tweeter has low distortion. the sub has decent out put. a crossover isnt so hard to develop. and the deck wont need to do any crossover work.

cool idea .. why 5-1/2" not 6-1/2" ? i'd be interested to hear what others think of ur suggestions esp woofer, mids and amp

Re: Complete system for $450

thats the only woofer that I found had a flat response till 3600hz. you can see it here

and the tweeter here.

the company makes a 6.5", but I have not seen its frequency response.

well I talked to the guy that measured the woofer and tweeter. He says a new crossover is in the works. for a lower point of crossing.

look for a Clarion APX401.4 instead of that Profile. much better amp for about the same money.

^^Agreed, I've read several reviews of Profile amps that say they're affected by sudden power draws like rolling down your windows.
