YACAT: Speakers and amp recommendations needed .. ~$1000 budget

[lupohki]

I'd like to spend around 1k for front (6.25") and rear speakers (5.25"), an amp to power them, and an amp to power the Polk Momo 12" sub (spec'ed at 500W rms & 1000W max @ 4 ohms) I got off of Hot Deals.

I'm going for a headunit-less car pc setup. I can handle the PC part, but am newbish to car audio.

If you could also tell me where the cheapest place to buy the items, that'd be appreciated. 😀

Stick a "YACAT" (Yet Another Car Audio Thread) in the title, maybe you'll get the regulars in.

First thing - don't buy Bose. Second thing - don't buy Monster Cable.

Do you have the enclosure for the sub already?

 

[lupohki]

Yeah, the sub already includes an enclosure.

So far, someone on another forum recommends the CDT CL-61a components and the CDT CL-5X for the rears from zebaudio. Together, they are about $200 shipped

lupohki- hit it. those speaker are the best deal ever at $150. Compititon level speakers. Amp buy any that will match you power requirements. I would get a Phoenix Gold TANTRUM T600.4 for the mids and highs and Phoenix Gold Tantrum T1200.1 for the sub(s) and you're well under $1000.

Cut a new hole in the rear for 2 sets of 61's.
