Help put together FD sound system..
So I have 93 Fd and I decided I want to put in a suound system however I have no idea where to start. I have about a 400 dollar budget and I want a system with a good loud mid range, decent bass, and crisp sound. Also I want to add a good sub or two at the end of the summer. I'll need a new faceplate too. Any suggestions? Thanks

just get this headunit : alpine CDA 9835 ( you will like it ) and since you are under budget, forget about installing sub...amp.. cause those will run you lot of $$$. what u can do is save up some $$$ and do everything at one.

$400 budget and you want a "system with a good loud mid range, decent bass, and crisp sound", good luck. You need to seriously revise your budget. cda-9835 is a good choice, albeit it is a few years old, good DAC's and great sq. I think the lowest quality speaker set is a set made my vifa thats around 100 to 150, or if you know what your doing and you can run your system active you can buy individual drivers. That would require more amplification though. Just for a reference, my system is top-notch sq wise and has just enough thump and i spent:
alpine w200 used off of fleabay- 500
rainbow profi - 450 front and back -900
audison lrx 6.9ch - 700
custom soundsplinter tc09 sub - 300
misc wiring - 150
fortunately i know what im doing so i installed and built the sub box myself, but in the end it ran me $2500. Although you can shave money here and their, for what you want, you will not get it done under $400.

Where are you talking about in north jersey? I'll actually be up there a pretty good amount over the summer (my girlfriend lives up there) so I could definitely check some places out. People here in south jersey can get something half decent for a couple hundred bucks at tweeter, or best buy, with free installation. Thanks.

I don't use speakers on the rear, specially coaxials or components. If anything, a set of 8 ohms woofers (5 1/4 or 6 inches) in stereo, or two 4 ohms speakers on series to a bridge channel (normally the left channel); but that is my preferences, and not everybody listens to music the same way.
I agree with the 4 channel amp + sub amp. The only problem is that he only have $400, a GOOD (brand new) 4 X 25W amp will cost him that much. Thats why I recommended a 4channel amp for startup, and once he gets more $$$ on his pockets a separate amp for the subs is a good idea.
