I am just wondering what is the best setup for a 96 nissan 240sx with around 500-600 dollar budget? Or should I spend a little more? Not including the installs fees right now. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Wow, are you looking for speakers/amps/subs/wiring kits all for 500$? If so then u better start saving, you wont get anything half decent for less then a grand IMO.
you want everything for $500?
damn, you can pick any 2 pieces of my system and they're over $500 together, and mine is nowhere near the best.
For reals? Cause I was looking around the web and things are not that expensive... Anyway just tell me the best bang for the buck models and I will get them. I have the money just that I am not planning on spending THAT much on it, but if I have to, in order to get good quality stuff then I will open up my wallet.
$500 won't get you much. You can prolly get a decient set of mids and highs all around, that's about it.
BTW, I'm assuming you're talking about retail prices, b/c hookups and used parts kinda change the pricing. Including the Infinity Perfect sub I'm gonna have soon, I got about $2000+ worth of audio equipment in my car (2 amps, 6 speakers, sub, box, HU, and about $100 worth of wiring and fuses). All together I prolly paid just over $1000

Without worrying about the best of the best, if you want a system you won't regret, jus stay away from crap brands like Sony, kicker, baja, and pretty much anything you would see at a wal-mart or best buy. Retail stores are somewhat of a rip unless there's a good deal going on.
One thing to know about anything you set out to buy. Whether it's performance mods, cosmetic mods, or audio, don't jus go around and buy the first good lookin thing u see. Educate yourself, know what you want it to sound like (SQ or blastin SPL), know what people have to say about the parts and then you will know what you can afford.

Just a decent headunit and a single pair of good speakers is almost $500 with shipping. Then you add in a sub, 2 amps, and another set of speakers (if you want rear fill) and the price climbs fast.
I would look at a low level pioneer headunit, maybe some infinity reference or cdt classic components in front, an 80x2 amp, edesigns 12kx and a 400x1 amp. That will probably be the best system you could get for cheap, but it will still be over $500.
well, you can eliminate the amp if u use the internal amp of the HU
also, if you don't want sub(s), then that's another thing off your list. If you want a basic setup: new HU, mids/highs with a good range, this is a different story. Not everyone puts a sub in.
For a nice HU with a good internal amp, you're lookin at 2-300+ and for 4 good speakers (6 if the fronts are components) all around, about $400-500+.

Can you guys design a setup for around 1000 for me? Once I get the name and model of parts I will start shopping for them . I have being looking for a couple days now but all the brand and model is really confusing me
edit: I will probably get the used if I can find them, if really can't find them then I will have to get it from store.

Running 2 speakers off of an external amp will sound WAY better than 4 speakers off the headunit and it will be around the same price, this is a no brainer.
