I'd have to say about $2,000 is a good mark for decent head unit, nice splits, good sub and suitable amps.

Unfortunately, i'm never happy with how it sounds and keep buying more and more expensive gear. Currently I have $11,700 worth (RRP) of gear for one system :(

what i've got so far:

Pioneer head deck: $220
EFX 100wrms, 300w peak 6" splits for front: $180
Pioneer 80wrms, 350w peak 6x9's for rear shelf: $120
Fibreglassed and vinyl'ed pods for 6x9's: $90
Cadence 2x12" 350wrms(x2), 700w peak(x2) subs: $375

total so far: $985.

Still need 2 4x100wrms amps ($600?), wiring kit ($150), 2 farad cap ($150?) + theres bound to be more... so roughly $1900 all up. F#%# i wish i didnt do all that adding up lol. As long as it sounds good when it's all installed it'll be worth it. But i'd still agree 1500 - 2K is a good budget to set out :thumbsup:

It was a little bit more when I had a in-dash screen, but I went back to a normal head unit. Not too keen on spending anymore until I actually start installing things properly.

yeah $1500, should get you a head set, decent front splits, amp, 12 inch sub and box, cables, and maybe a cheap set of back speakers(cheapies)

.. i've spent less than that (only just less) and i have a good head unit, good splits, good 6x9s, 3 amps (2x 2ch and 1x monoblock) and a 12" sub

I have spent about $1200,

Pioneer DEH-6850 H/U = 349
Response 6" splits = 110
Response 6.5" = 95
Response 2 x 150 = 200
Response 4 x 50 = 160
Pioneer 306c in box = 195

All wiring I got for free from work, but add some cost on for stuff like Fuse holder ect.

Noe: system isn't fully installed yet. Hopefully will get around to it this weekend.

But 1500 should get you a half descent system, provided you dont have to pay for installation.
