Do a bit more digging on the OEM+ system and you'll see that their is a Toyota/Scion parts guy that can get you a system at a discounted price. If you were able to build your own sub cabs, you are over qualified to install the Audio 400+ system  . Save yourself the installation charge and I think you can get this system into your car at the upper range of your budget. |
Gary, thanks for your feedback. I did some searching and the OEM + system can be found cheaper online, but only for the FR-S version which has different connectors, configuration and uses a different head unit than the BRZ. $1200 seems to be the going rate for the BRZ.
I think I scored a great deal at Best Buy on a 5 channel Alpine amp. $199 with a coupon I had and it is about $300-400 everywhere else.
I might use this amp, have the installer put in the Helix component speakers and the amp, and then build and install my own custom sub. This should get be close to $1K. But still debating...
