I was going to post this in the Carputer topic, but the last post there was in 2013. I'm building a car computer and am new to car audio but very familiar with computer systems. I'm currently a full-time college student double majoring in Computer Science & Game Art while working full time as a heavy machine operator in a warehouse.
I'm looking for recommendations for alternate components for this build as well as an extra set of eyes to see if I missed anything important. I currently own the Pyles, Lanzer, and the Pyramid amp but am actively looking for better replacements that won't break the bank. (I.E. -$300 for all 4 door speakers, under $200 amp for subs, under $300 sub)
Recommendations on all components are welcome however.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
