This question has been asked a LOT on this board and while searching around on Crutchfield.com out of boredom I found something rather interesting. It's the Alpine $1000 complete system.

Now that's not going to be a hyper booming SPL competetion system. But if you're looking for a quick, innexpensive, and decent quality system just to upgrade your stock system then this is the one for you.

wow...thats a pretty damn good deal. my only problem is that it comes with NOTHING to allow you to install it. i hate it when people dont consider wiring/distrobution/fusing/etc. as part of a budget for an audio system.

Actually if you click the link it includes an amp kit and installation stuff depending on your vehicle. I didn't copy and paste that part.

lol :P

i'm curious how big a difference the price would be if you bought the pieces individually though. that entire kit is made up of alpine's barebones entry-level equipment. i can see how you could easily put together a kit for $1k if you just bought the cheapeast models.

bah..i missed the part where it said the amp came with a wiring kit. sorry!

anyway, its not the system i would choose for 1k, but for someone who is just getting into audio and wants something effective and homogenous, its the perfect deal.

Exactly why I posted it, entry level stuff for guys who want to get it all at one shot and get semi-decent shit.
