I was thinking about buying a visonik system are they any good?

They are what they are, cheap and go thump. They sound decent at best.

If you are looking at keeping the system for a while I'd look into buying something a bit better then Visonik.

If you want suggestions, just ask.

What do you suggest?

[sonikaccord]

Good for a beginner or your first system if you didn't know any better...luckily you found cb7tuner.com lol

What are you looking for in a system?

^What he said.

Depending on what you want out of your system depends on what brands you should take a gander at.

Also budget is a factor as well. If you want to stay around the $200 mark, you might just be looking at some high quality used equipment.

Do you have an/any amp(s) or sub(s)?

Something good that would last me for awhile and that makes a good enough thump.

The most i would spend is $300.

How much trunk space do you want to keep?

[Biggz92]

it really doesn't matter

Alpine type-r 12" in a custom built ported box...are you good with wood working?

[Biggz92]

yea

if your're in a $300 budget and want a decent sound system go with the sony Xplod Systems, they are decent and great for beginners.

Sony 600watt Amp - 110
Sony Xplod 500w 12" Sub - $60 (the rockford ps2 kicks ass though)
box enclosure is like $30
Sony Headunit (theres a bundle that includes the sony speakers too) - $100

thats a total of - $300 +tax

[sonikaccord]

Ok I suggest you build your own box and get a nice 500wrms amp. 3 cubic feet @ 35hz is good for a starting point.

thanks

Sorry, I can't agree with you here. The Xplod systems suck donkey anus. They're not much better than the VR3 crap at WalMart IMO. I've owned several different pieces of Sony car audio, and I'll never own another one. And a $30 box will be shit. The MDF alone should run you that much.

If you're trying to build an entire system for $300 your best bet is to take your time and shop around. You can get damn nice equipment on clearance for the cheap (Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine) or you can get last year's model or a floor model cheap (I once bought a pair of competition 10s that originally were $299 each for $30 each because they were two years old NIB) or you can shop craigslist and pick up nice used equipment. If you go the CL route, make sure you get to hear it working before you buy it. I cannot stress that enough. There are legit sellers on CL, but it's up to you to be sure you're buying decent equipment.
If you're buying new, then you get what you pay for 99% of the time.
