Stereo & Electronics - how much $ for new set-up?

I want to upgrade my monsoon. I was wondering how much it costed yall to upgrade all speakers and a new headunit. If you could, also tell me brand HU and speakers you have....thanks alot.

Components, coaxials, 4 channel amp, headunit, wiring etc can be done for 600 depending on how crazy you want to get

i got most of my shit used cept for the components i bought new and the coaxials came in the car.

i spent....

prolly 500-600 and something like my setup would be make you more than happy, especially stepping up from monsoon.

That comes to 570ish shipped for litereally everything you would need for a really solid setup. Obviouslly you coudl get different stuff or order from somewhere else but you get the idea. The pioneer amp for its price is killer Ive put it and its older model in a number of cars with great results. Also a bit of sound deadening in each door wouldnt hurt

Mine was about $1450. If I were to do it again I'd change a few things and spend a little more. There are definately much cheaper options you can go for though.

What I had posted for you was

Polk DB6501 components
Polk DB651 coaxials
Pioneer DEH-P4900 radio
Pioneer GM-6300F amp
8 gauge kit, 2 sets of rcas, a gm antenna adapter, sidepost battery terminal adapter, 100 ft of speaker wire

alright thanks guys

I may be able to put something together for you as well especially if you have a budget in mind!!

I paid about $900 all told for mine (used) and it sounds incredible.

I paid about 3000 for the head unit, speaker, amps, and subs etc.

What are you looking at or into?

if you want to stay within a fairly small price range, you can do like i did and only use the front door speakers and a single 10" sub, powered by a 4-channel amp (front speakers each on a single channel, the sub on the other two channels bridged).

i have a Panasonic CD player, a Blaupunkt 75watts x 4 @ 4ohms amp, Infinity 6.5" components up front, and a cheap Dual 10" sub in the hatch (Dual is the brand name....yeah, it's cheap, but it does the job for now....gonna upgrade to a 10" JL 10W3 soon).

the key to this setup is power. i had a 50w x 4 @ 4ohms amp before, and it wasn't enough power. 75w or 100w x 4 is a lot better, just make sure the speakers you buy can handle the power.

I paid about 3000 for the head unit, speaker, amps, and subs etc.

About 3400.00 with all the odds and ends included. Most of these items were pretty heavily discounted by a non sponsor web vendor.

The install took me and a buddy about 50 hours in total but that includes gutting the whole interior to put sound deadening on everything except the roof. The pictures below show the doors before the sound deadener was put on.

Here are a few pictures of the install...

This was completed last year but I still don't have any pictures of the fully installed system. I keep meaning to take them. Maybe this weekend I'll pop off a few new pictures of the completed project. The amps and subs are pretty stealthy until you turn up the volume:)
