I haven't been on here for since it was Car Audio Australia and haven't had a system in a car for ages so I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm looking for a basic setup for my daily driver a 1994 Corolla Sprinter. I already have a Alpine 9857 and have an older Alpine V-Power 4x50W amp lying around and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some splits and a 10inch sub so I could enjoy some decent music on the way to work rather than the 20year old stock speakers.

Im just in the process of ordering some dynamat and Im happy to build my own sub box but Id prefer not to spend more than $500 on speakers/sub as the car isn't worth too much more than that Back in the day I would have grabbed some of the jaycar response gear but it doesnt seem to be around anymore

Welcome back I guess!

Damon's review of $300ish splits may give you some ideas: http://www.mobileele...ponents_review/

There's reviews of subs too in that section (mostly 12" subs, but there'll be 10" versions). With a subwoofer budget of around $200, maybe look into Alpine Type-S, Pioneer TS-W258, JL Audio 10W1v2, etc. All very decent gear. If you have restrictions on how big a subbox you want, that may limit your choice.

crescendo Opus 1 + Crescendo etude 1.10 comes in at $498 RRP

Cheers for the help... there is an audio shop near me which has those hertz splits in the article on special so I will go have a look at those when im in town. Will have to find somewhere that stocks the crescendo speakers but the sub doesn't sound like it will suit the type of music I listen too (alternative/metal mostly)

Since you listen to alternative, / metal music, you would be happy with a single 10 inch woofer in your car but if you want to go louder, then get a 12 inch. Plenty of stuff in the market and in the MEA F/S thread.

GL mate!
