Piece of cake and you could compete with a system costing twice as much.

As much as it takes. I would like to still fold down the seats but that is not a big deal. Spare tire is gone.


Spare tire gone? That'd make a nice enclosure for a subwoofer and take up very little space in your trunk.

Well, most people want to be able to use their trunk. These are grocery getters after all.

The order mentioned previously is good and follows Steve's path too.

HU: already done you said
Next: subwoofer/amp combo
Then component speakers

Then another amp for the door speakers if money left over

Capacitors?


Used as a first order crossover on the door speakers to block the low frequecies - they only cost less than $5 each and work great for a quick, cheap fix.

Alright, let's get to details.

Sub: Dayton DVC 12"
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl....t_ID=7764&DID=7

or the Shiva 12" from www.adireaudio.com. Basically the same speaker, at least deisgn wise. I just bought 2 15" Daytons for my home theater system - very impressive.

Amp, check out www.ubid.com for some good ones. These subs don't require much power, but certainly can take it. Look for something in the 300 watts into 4 ohms range.

Door replacments: 2 sets of Vifa car component sets from www.madisound.com, the on-sale page.

Dynomat, get at local Walmart or use spare home carpet pading. Wires for hooking up - www.partsexpress.com. Wood for a 1.25 cu ft box or custom spare wheel well enclusre: local Home Depot.

That should keep you well under your budget and realy rock your SVT.

Any more ?
