A couple of years ago I did a budget build in my Subaru legacy. Not too long after that I picked up my new Wrangler and did a much nicer morel 3 way active build in that. I need to stop putting so many miles on my Jeep, so going to daily the legacy again for a while, decided to re-do the build. Still sort of budget, but big improvement on what's in there now.
Current build:
Pioneer AVH-221EX head unit
JBL GX608C front 2 way, passive
Focal RCX-165 coax in the rear
Pioneer TS-A2000 8 inch slim sub
Clarion XC2510 5 channel amp driving the full system
New build:
Head unit and speakers are staying the same for now.
Clarion 5 channel and JBL xovers coming out, and a Kenwood Excelon P-XR600-6DSP is being installed in its place. More power, and it'll let me drive the full system active with a full DSP. It also gives me pre-amps to process the sub.
When searching for a sub, I ran across a killer used deal locally on a sub amp combo that wasn't even on my radar. Rockford P3 12" sub paired with a P500 amp, for around half the price of that amp alone new. Rockford subs and amps never made my list because (like JL) they are super overpriced. But, I feel they make some decent stuff, so when you cut that price down, I feel this will be a decent little combo for the legacy build.
KnuKoncepts Kolosuss 1/0 will be run to the trunk, and 4 gauge will be split off and run to each amp.
The P3 is in a shitty little prefab currently, but I'll build a custom box for it when I get some time.
