Thread: Help me with a good setup (budget ~$850)

I am trying to decide on what to buy for my audio systems. It's going into my 1999 Camry LE.
I am going to spend the next 7 days or so trying to decide what to purchase. Feel free to throw me any setup plans or ideas of replacing what I have listed. Rather than having only the opionions of eDesign forum users, I'd figured it wouldn't hurt to hear other's opions on this wonderful forum .
My budget is hopefully no more than $900. This will be my first car audio system. Also, I still have to find a place that will install all of my parts for no more than 100$.



---------------------------------
My first setup thoughts:
(1) 13Kv.2 Subwoofer - $75.00 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=337
(2) NINe.2 Amplifier - $215.00 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=45
(1) eD Single 13Kv.2 - $150.00 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=120
(1) eD 6000s v.2 - $95.00 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=349

(1) 4 Gauge Dual Amp Kit - $100 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=243


Products Sub-Total: $850.00
Shipping cost: $84.04

Total cost from eD: $934

Note: This is if I purchase all eDesign products. I havn't listed thoughts on buying a dash in this first setup idea.

Second setup ideas
*Replacing eDesign amps with Profile amps*

In this setup, I will still get all the eDesign stuff above except I will replace the amps with Profile amps.

The rep recommended:

Profile HA700M - $99 - http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/P...sp?i=489HA700M
Profile AP400 - $79.99
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/P...asp?i=489AP400

Greg: "I checked out that sub and the speakers and the two Profile amps would be almost perfect actually. IF you go with the dual 4 ohm version of the sub, then we have a mono amp that will put out 350 RMS at 2 ohms. That would be more than enough power."

So IF I purchase these from them, it would be this:

Merchandise Subtotal:$179.98
Special Offers: -$20.00
Order Total: $159.98 (on just profile amps)

Assuming if I purchase the eD stuff in first setup except their AMP, it would be $500 including shipping of eD items + $159.98
Equals: $700.00 total
