VietPho is an unknown quantity at this point
Question 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

---------------------------------

Third setup ideas

Another cheaper solution by notacop:

(1) eD nine.4 $235 - http://www.icixsound.com/vb/autolink...ead&forumid=24
(1) eD 6000v.2 off front of nine.4 $95 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=349
(1) eD 11kv.2 off rear channels of nine.4 $65 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=30
(1) eD ported box for 11kv.2 $110 - http://www.icixsound.com/vb/autolink...ead&forumid=24
(1) 4 Gauge Dual Amp Kit - $100 - http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...roducts_id=243

Product Total: $605
Asssuming shipping cost: $80.00
Sub-Total: $685.00




------- ++DASH SOLUTION++ --------

Kenwood KDC-MP5032 $130.00 - http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/P...sp?i=113MP5032

Kenwood CA-C2AX Auxiliary Input Adapter - $20 - http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/P...sp?i=113CAC2AX
*This adapter plugs into the rear of the Kenwood and then you route the minijack cable to where you want your iPod located.*

Merchandise Subtotal: $149.98
Special Offers: -$20.00
Total: $130.00

*note: I am using the $20.00 off $100 purchase coupon. And items over 129$ is free shipping *

--------------------------------
Ok. Now I help deciding what to do!

are you willing ot buy used? i'd say option 1 then 2. if you're willing to buy used i'd suggest some other amps besides the ed's. i'm not a big fan of profile but i have no solid ground to base that opinion on...
