ok well i got around 1000 give or take a hundred. and i wanna get a nice system into the commdore. Can anyone build a little list with wats good on the market atm for a GOOD price.. im looking to get: front 6" splits rear 6" speakers for the door nice deck with MAD visual and audio capabilites atleast a 12" sub thatl make the VT ROCK!.. and perhaps one 4-channel amp for the woofers and a 2-channel amp for the sub.. Anyone wanna gimme some prices or give their opinion. thanks.?

That isn't much of a budget considering a decent head unit will be $400+. Your best bet is to get stuff that is 2nd hand. Sometimes autobarn have catalogs with systems which are around $800-$1500

hrmm... to be honest i gota disagree with u.. my cousin brought a nice system from strathfield for around 700, and hes sub pounds hard and hes splits go frikkin looud. hes got a nice Pioneer Deck aswwell.. wasnt too bad to be honest.. but yeh im not a HIGH RISE spender atm.. just need some help from some audio techies out tehre..?

if you think strathfield can give you a good sound then theres something wrong, go to a proper car audio place, etc gary's or bundoora street sound and vision for THE GOOD STUFF!

My opinion is this - for $1000 you're simply not going to get much thats even half decent. For example -"nice deck with MAD visual and audio capabilites" that alone is the best part of a grand. Add in some decent speakers - not crap - and you're budget has quickly gone out the window. As already stated you could get one of those cheap ass packages for around what you want to pay but thats it. Maybe keep saving and do the job once and do it right.

I spent about that in my woo, Sony CD, 2 x 12" Sansui Subs + box, AMA 4 channel amp, 5" fusions in the front, Cadence 2 channel. enough to make me deaf when cranked up. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Back in the old days you needed big $ to get anything decent. But these days you can get a Sony MP3 for about $200, then some ok 6" front splits, a 4 channel amp and either 1 or 2 average 12s and your pumping I spent $6k on all Boston and PG stuff a few years ago and just ripped it all out. I have no sounds at all now and my car handles heaps better... best thing I ever did to my car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Especially when talking about car ausio products. My head unit Cost me the better part of your budget. I'm not saying you should spend the same, but what is the point og spending money on crap equipment? Better buying some good speakers and no subs. Sub's do not increase sex

for subs always hear good thing about the pioneer 306c been told they pum hard for 150 each

Do you're homework dude and it will pay off whn the time comes to buy stuff.

if your also looking for 6+9z autobarn have clarion 350w 4 way for $99 on special down from somethin like $300, ive got them in my car and it is louder and has more bass than a mates full setup lol!. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

also if ure on that sort of budget think about buying some top end second hand stuff

mate go to jb and get a pair of kicker cvr 12inch duel subbs(the black ones) $350 maybe $300. the bass output in unreal! get a headunit off ebay u get a real good 1 for no more than $280 some the same as jb. the subbs sound good of any amp to as long as its atleast 350w

bro for 1000 bucks you will get something not flash...jus good but ur head unit just get something decent man like a clarion or kenwood for like 190...cheap but do the job so then u can get better amps speaker etc.

lol at gary's being a quality store, if you disagree with me look at the quality job they did installing my alarm and damaging my paint and breaking trims and well just being usless in general......................

guys sorry to hijack the thread, but i'm also in the market for a system. At the moment i'v got the stock setup (VX lumina, cd player and whatever else they include). Now i'm after a real basic setup; headunit, splits, and a single sub. My question is, what should i look for? what else will i need for the set-up should i leave any of the current stuff in? and most importantly how much is this gonna cost me? cheers in advance
