Default Sound system challange!

A'ight all you sound system moddin junkies out there i got a challenge. i got a stock 05 scion xB, i've got $400 and ive got no idea what i want/need. im 16 so i like loud, cheap and base-y. don't go over $400, but your welcome to go as low as $300. i finally got the cash now i need my trusted crew at Scion Life to Hook me up right.

Also, any suggestions on where to get 'em installed? I live in Farmington Hills Michigan so if anyone lives nearby let me know!

what state are you in? i want to get rid of my system. im willing to part for $500 pickup only from connecticut. i have lots of goodies all with receipts.
a 500w JL mono block amp (valued @ $500)
3 JL 10w3v2 ( 300w a piece) in custom box that fits perfectly in the back of a tc,
an alpine cda-9851 headunit,
a alpine i420 adaptor that lets you control your ipod from your HU, and last and least.
RCA cables.
ive been trying to sell it for 3 months thats why it is so cheap. total value is about $2,000. and like i said i have receipts from tweeter.

i bought it for my del sol about two years ago and finally hooked it up the end of last year. i have the box in my car now but its not hooked up. i dont feel like running the cable and deconstructing my brand new car. yeah and when you buy a system and try to get ride of it no one wants to pay anything near what you paid for it. i tried listing on ebay for $800 plus s+h but no takers.

it really does sound great but .... its a new car

Hey Mr. Fuzzy I still believe that you need to save some more but I do have a couple of questions in regards to what you want. How much space are you are willing to sacrifice? What sort of installations skills/tools do you have or have at your disposal? Given your age I am guessing you're looking for a system that will play loudly with rock/hip hop? Lastly, are you the type that likes to drive around with the volume **** wide open all the time? If so you DEFINITELY need to consider a security system. Mark

You could always go with a couple of Elemental Designs EU-700's and one of their amps. Very good value. Talk to Mandos and he should be able to get you some good info.

save about $300 more and get this to be STUPID LOUD

all prices are forum discount:http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/adv...keywords=forum

1 19Ov.2 D2 model $185
1 Nine.1 $315

Then take the left over $200 and get some wiring and a box from "mandos" on here.
