What stereo
I have a 82' Flareside with a bad stereo. I wondering for about $600-$800 what is the best thing to put in it. (I really only want two speakers but I will consider putting in a sub to. )

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Jan-02 AT 10:44 PM (EST)]I think for $800 you could put in a 60 watt head unit and a set of front 6.5 components with an amp easy. For example, I've priced an Alpine CDA-7873 for about $325. It has 60 watts x 4, 4 volt sub out, front/rear preouts, remote control ready. It also has angle face ability.
Alpine SPR-175A's (component 6.5's) are around $170 and can take 200w/50w.
Amp to power fronts -------- $120 (Alpine MRP-T130)
Subtotal - $615
The next step would be to add a sub.
8 in Subwoofer and amp --- $250 (Alpine MRP-T130 again)
Total - $865
These products are very good ones and not cheap!
Keep in mind I've gone to the three biggest Alpine dealers I can find for good deals, as well, that I am converting from canadian dollars!
Good luck,
Matt

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Jan-02 AT 11:38 PM (EST)]What kind of components were you looking at?
Do you mean $800 canadian?
Are you thinking of putting 6x9's in the front or rear?? You'd be better off putting 6.5 components (separate tweeter) in the door, with no rear speakers, but a sub behind the seat!

The speakers will be put in the doors and the perferred speakers are two 6x9's. From what I've looked at already I can get two 6x9's (can't remember from who) that have everything thing in them (tweeters) a 330w amp and a head unit for about $800 installed (all this is from Visions in Lethbridge Alberta). I do have some stuff from an old truck that was really good (not sure how good they are I do know where the speakers are, I just need to take them out of the truck to exam them. They are probably no good because the truck has been used as a spray truck for the past five yearse or so) they worked and when I find them I will ask around about them to see if they're any good, how many watts the amp is ect.by the way weldman I'm from Coutts Alberta on the border on highway 4 1 hour south of Lethbridge AB.
