before anyone get annoyed at this, i am not having a shot at any one, i am just trying to help liquid85 out. Sometimes 2nd hand gear is not always an options due to availability, 2ndly having all that gear is a great start, but you still have to put it in, you still are up for a few hundred by the time u buy / build a sub box and wire the whole thing up. I know quite well it is possible to scrape together somthing for under a grand, but man you have a lot of shopping around to do. A good start maybe something like a m200 alpine amp and type s 12, can be done for under $500. I just dont want to see something in a car, and then not be happy. Good luck with finding a system anyway, let us know how you get on
