Infinity Reference 5 channel amp - $239.99
[4 AWG amp kit] (https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RWK4CU-Copper-Complete-Installation/dp/B019Z3RCG2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1550159767&sr=8-6&keywords=4+awg+amp+kit) - $49.95
9 wire - $24.95
Additional RCAs - $19.99
4 channel LOC - $23.34 - You need this because you're keeping your factory radio
RCA splitter - $7.45 - To get the 4 channel LOC to 6 channels for the amp's input. There's maybe other ways you could do this, but this is what I would do because it'd be the simplest to swap the radio in the future.
Infinity Reference 6.5" for the doors - $56.95/pair x 2 = $113.90
Infinity Reference 3.5" for the dash - $48.70
= $528.37 + Installation which will easily run between $200 - $350
If you'd like to spend a bit more you might ask about sound dampening on the doors. Or you might save the extra and put it towards replacing the radio in the future.
Had fun building this with my 11 yo as a gift for college freshman. Here's what we used:
8" sched 40 PVC pipe
PVC cement
Talentcell 12v lithium battery
2.1 Bluetooth receiver / amp
12v to 24v booster
Skar 8" dual voice coil sub wired as 4ohm
Infiity 6.5" reference speakers 8ohm
Mats to isolate 6.5" speakers, and this
Passive raidators (semi-sealed enclosure), and this
Rifle swivels and sling, and this
Mounting feet
Clamps for main plate
Finished it in a truck bed liner spray in black on round PVC surfaces and a metallic gray on the faceplate.
One of the tricks was to create a flat faceplate from the PVC by cutting the 8" pipe section, cooking 15 mins at 300F, then flatenning it out with weight / pressure. Next time, I would prob sub a different material for the faceplate just to make it easy.
If I could do it over again, I'd use a thinner PVC pipe. Standard Sched 40 in 8" weights a lot... 5lb / foot plus very heavy end caps that I used to surround both sides. Probably 20 lbs of PVC alone.
Also, struggle to get the thing to be truly enclosed. Significant air escapes around the perimeter of the faceplate despite applying clamp force and a bit of dynamat.
Sounds great though! 18 yo kid loved it! Lots of tight bass and this amp puts out good sound with the right power/amps feeding it. Sorry not an audiophile so not testing results to share.
So I don't really need to worry about what I get? I honestly don't want to have to run wires, splice and take apart panels right now. Just trying to get some decent sounding speakers to replace the 13 year old ones that are starting to distort. I saw some Good Infinity Speakers on Amazon that I was looking at along with the Metra connections to make it easy to connect without needing to splice or strip cables.
I understand I won't be getting any resounding bass but the speakers in there (before getting wobbly) was good enough for me. Still using stock everything because I am a firm believer of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Well now it's broke and needs fixing.
