yeah for 700 you can get a

1200watt amp
2 12inch subs in a carpeted box
some ok 6 by nines
and a ok head unit
and get it installed


for $2000 you would be looking at a custom install with neons and ricey shit like that
you obviously dont know much about car audio. if you want crappy sounding components, go get your package from strathfield, you obviously havent heard a proper system before. And i wouldn't pump it too hard .. the amp might blow after a week :p
and no 2000 is not a custom install/neons/ricey shit. its called quality components.

even if you where on a budget, atleast steer clear of strathfield and head to jaycar. they have decent components on a budget. Their kevlar splits and response amp range is a good bang for the buck.

i'm satisfied with the sound system that came from Toyota. WTF would you pay so much for a sound system in your car? it's not like you live in it.

cyrax83 is right, but maybe a bit blunt

Put it this way, $2000 spent once on quality components and a quality install is a lot better than $500-700 spent on bad components and a bad install.

Not to mention the price you'd have to pay if the components shit themselves or the install damages your car.

I don't know where the fuck you guys shop, but here, 700 bucks on stereo is getting alright quality. My mate has spent about 400 bucks on his entire system and its one of the best stereo's i've ever heard, even as good as my mates system which is a show car, the numberplates are even MTX.

Granted, for a system just with headunit and splits, 700 is plenty.

Anything more then I really don't think so

you can get nice components for 700 which sound pretty good, maybe a budget amp, front splits and a ok sub, although like i said .. i'd steer clear of strathfield packages.
