As the title says, I have been researching and debating for a week now and I have made up my mind. That is unless the gurus on here can change my mind with valid points discrediting my choices
Car is a 99 Grand Prix coupe. Goals are decent, loud, clear, not looking for top of the line but dont want to use all the cheapest crap either. The car is a 350whp weekend warrior so im not dynamatting and building another 2.5 cu ft ported enclosure and all that weight. Music choice is generally rock and metal. Budget is under $1k total including wiring, adapters etc. Putting together a setup completely from scratch other than a meh set of Kenwood 6x9's already in the rear shelf.
Looking for a double din ~6" screen headunit under $300, 6.5" component set under $250, 10" Sub under $150. Had already decided on a Kicker ZX700.5 to power it all based on price compared to buying seperate 400.1 and 350.4 plus simplicity in wiring and the fact that I only trust Kicker for amps.
for a HU I was choosing from
Sony XAV-64BT
Pioneer AVH-X2600BT
Kenwood DDX371
JVC KW-V20BT
Leaning towards the JVC, The Sony only has 2 outputs and reviews said the Kenwoods BT doesnt work well.
For the component set I was thinking Infinity Kappa PERFECT 6.1, just because I dont really know much about component sets and they seem to fit my goals.
For sub I was thinking Type R. I already had a SPL Audio rebuilt RE SX 12 and im not interested in doing anything like that again. It just got out of hand. I just want a regular common brand cheap 10 that will handle ~400wrms. I already have a sealed prefab 10" enclosure too.
So tell me why my choices are stupid, tell me what to buy instead. Change my mind and guide me to buying the best parts that fit within my requirements
