I currently have an Alpine IDA x100 Head Unit Click here for specifications, which has the 'lightning' ipod control cable and USB input and can be controlled via the stalk which I am very happy with, this increased SQ all by itself.
I would like a decent audio set-up on a budget. I would consider paying more if this is unrealistic, but I am more than prepared to buy 2nd hand, as I did with my HU.
I have been thinking of purchasing these as a decent, budget set of components and trying to fit the tweeters behind OEM tweeter covers.
I think that with an amp, these would provide good enough sound quality, considering the Ph.1 is full of road-noise anyway and I'm not spending massive amounts.
I do, however, have no idea what amp to go for, and have been looking at alpine ones 2nd hand on ebay (got HU 2nd hand cheaply and would rather get good 2nd hand stuff than bad new stuff for the same cost). Are there other brands of amp that I should consider? An all-alpine setup is likely to be pretty good even if it is budget stuff.
I also think that if I had amped components, I'd need something to cover the low-ranges, I don't want a big sub in an enclosure in the boot, and have seen under-seat amps etc. and shallow-mount subs, but these often seem very expensive. Would it be possible to have speakers in the rear parcel shelf that exclusively play low-ranges that would be suitable? I don't want to shake the car or wake the neighbours, just have decent sound across all ranges.
I know there are some audio enthusiasts on here, so any advice, offers of equipment, spotted good deals on ebay etc. would all be appreciated!
