Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I'd suggest if you want to stick to Alpine for your whole system get a PDX-1.600 for your sub or the new PDX-M6 and a either a PDX-4.100 / PDX-4.150 or the new PDX-F4 / PDX-F6 for your speakers.
Hey Bog, I ended up getting the following: (head unit off ebay, the rest from Bendigo auto sound)
Alpine IDA-X305S - head unit
SPR-17S - splits
SPR-17C - components
F600 - amp to run speakers ---- All this stuff was $1860
M500 - amp to run sub
SWR-1223D - Sub
Cables, installation and Ford Fitting Kit
All up, it's around $3100. (Nearly $1000 over my budget... whoops!!! )
Did you seriously spend over $3k for all of that? Seriously shop around. I could probably get all of that for $2k or just under.
Speakers you should be able to pick up for $500 if not less.
The Alpine F600 amp you should be able to get for around $450.00
The Alpine M500 amp you should be able to get for around $330.00
The Alpine IDA-X305S should be able to get it for around $350.00
The sub well is hard to find but it shouldn't be any over $400 with a box
Wiring kit, allow yourself around $100.00
If you buy it all from the same place, they should be able to give you even more of a discount.
