I finally have enough money saved up to get a system, I am just having trouble choosing what to buy. I want to spend around 800-1000 for the head unit, amp, and sub(s). I'm leaning towards the Pioneer MP7500-DEH for the head unit, not too sure on what amp, and either 2 w3v2s or 1 w6v2 for the subs. Is the head unit a good choice, and which would be better, 2 w3v2s or 1 w6v2? Also what amp should i go with to fit in my budget and if there are any other subs i should look at please let me know.

 

If you are looking into the JL's go to their web site. Go to the tutorials and look up what affects the box SPL. There is a tiny bit of 6th grade math involved but it isn't too tough.

 

Well to be honest a great choice and not much more money is a Pioneer Premier DEH-850mp. You can find them online for around $260. Are you sold on the idea of W3's? or W6v2's? I would suggest a Adire Audio Brahma even before a W7 and they only cost around $330. Plus You can get a JBL 1200.1 for $250+Shipping (when you get them to price match www.ikesound.com) Authorized from Sounddomain. So for a total of $840 before installation and Box you can have one slamming system.
