I think cheap, or tight budgeted, is always going to be a relative term.
i am sure for some this would not classify as a tight budget system, but it is among the most cost effective designs we have done in many years
I always tell people the same thing, would you spend 1500 for a very mediocre system, or would you spend 2500-3k for a night and day difference? And i hope to prove it to people once they hear their car
on the xovers mt_peid:
i dont like underseat as its a trap for dirt, moisture and other debris, doors in the FRS is fine, but remember, never just double side tape it or velcro them, that is a sure fireway to have them fall down after a short amount of time. i dont ever like to use screws into bare metal, and this these are installed using rivet nuts, whcih puts a threaded insert into metal, and then the xovers are bolted in place. if you dont mind them standing out, i would also put them next to the amp for easy access, but that wasnt really that applicable as we were trying to keep the amp rack as small and less noticable as possible. not to mention i have my doubts on if the plastic snap in covers of the passives will stay on upside down over time
