How much did you pay ?
How much has everyone paid roughly for their sound systems?
I want a good sound system but I can't drop my life savings into it.
I've been reviewing crutchfield for a couple days and I'm thinking of going with a component speaker set (speakers, tweeters, and crossovers) first, but it seems a bit too much money. Also, looking for amp and subs. but what order to go in?
just wondering how much money everyone put into theirs. seeing as i have a 99 truck with 133k miles on it, i want some sound for now but don't feel like breaking the bank whenever the truck isn't going to last forever.

hi
i spent maybe 2000 bucks but could of gotten it all for maybe 900 if i would of being a lil smarter... i also suggest that the way to start is by buying a bass amp followed by the subs and of course the wiring cables. dont stress out too much about the highs....im thinking that a descent sound system for a ford ranger would be anywhere around 400 to 500 bucks.

I've probably spent 250-300 so far. and thats on compnents, 6x8's, 12" sub, 2 amps (all pioneer), sound dampening, and accessories. the deck came out of my old car. most everything i bought new on ebay, just slowly compiled everything when i found deals, check out best buys closeout stuff too.

Just a suggestion, crutchfield is a good place to look and read reviews etc. But you can buy most everything they have for less from other places. eBay is a good place to look. I have bought things from woofersetc.com and had good results. Just make sure you do some pricing before buying.

Buy your head unit from them. They include the mounting kit and wiring harness for free ($25-$40 value) that ussually off sets the higher price.

just buy everything from onlinecarstereo.com and install it yourelf for example a pioneer HU http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=17383 $123
and 4 rockford fosgate speakers http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=17106 $124
and a 10 inch kicker subwoofer in a kicker box http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=19797 $148
and a alpine mono block amp http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=19251 $149
then i would buy the HU install kit and the amp install kit from walmart which is about $75and that should sound pretty darn good for 620 bucks....but there is still cheaper stuff than this but you get what you pay for.

Well if you're looking at Crutchfield you're already going to spend too much money. Definitely hit ebay. I paid 200 for my Alpine head unit like 6 years ago now but it's made it from my Nissan to my truck, 110 for 4 Pioneer 6x8's, 200 for a Kenwood amp and I have like 300 in the subs for boxes and all.
