Im not looking at a great sound system, just a decent one, $500 is only available next week, so should i just buy 2 fronts and amp then wait till i get more money for sub?

look at www.gumtree.com or ebay from some good 2nd hand stuff. imo just run the fronts off the deck and get a monoblock and sub package for cheap

save up some more dosh.. seriously

sounds like you're gonna need to pay for installation and thats most of your budget already.. (even for a basic installation), let alone have anything left over for anything of at least DECENT quality.

i suggest saving up, do your system up in stages if need be & 'do it once, do it right'.. instead of buying rubbish, replacing them & spending more in the long run.

if i wanted a low-budget system with a decent level of quality id probably save up roughly $1500-2000+. atm your $500 is enough to cover for wiring, a sub box & basic installation
