Maybe you all can assist me in completing it. A friend of mine came to me the other days, says... "Kenny, I want to make my truck sound "good"." I ask him what that entails. He wants to have good midbass, nice highs, and a minor substage to add in the bass notes...
So I tell him I can get it done, what is the budget? Here is where she gets about impossible. $500 is the budget.
What he needs:
Amp
Component set
Sub
For the amp I was thinking about doing the kicker ZX700.5 because I could bridge the front channels to a pair of components, then get a sub stage on the fifth channel, it's not my FIRST choice but it's cheap.
Component set, I need your help here. Something affordable yet able to provide nice midbass response and somewhat detailed highs. I know it's a tall order but somebody must have some input!
Sub, this part I am considering picking up an OZ ME, probably a 10. I have a 12, haven't used it yet (probably finishing the install this week) but I have been told nothing but good things about them. Especially for what they cost.
The amp can be had for around $250, the sub, about $120. That puts us at $370 already! IF there is a decent set of components out there for around... $200 I could probably badger him into spending more. i need to convince him to get some deadener too but... some people just don't know. To his other friends a $50 set of infinity coax do the trick.
Help a brotha out?
