How would you do a stereo system, on a budget.

Ok, little backgrownd, 1985 dodge, stadard cab, so i have a small,metal box to work with. The Head unit i have, a 15 year old audiovox rampage 25x2 is dieing, the input and volume are going out. I have it connected to a set of boxed speakers, 2 5 1/4" whoofers and 2 tweeters behind the seat.

I want to add 2 more speakers to the front of me, and mabey a small sub( remember, small metal box, so it doesnt take much to get loud).

I'm looking at this-Kenwood Stereo and Speakers Package KDC-138 CD receiver and KFC-1660S 6-1/2" speakers at Crutchfield.com

KDC-138 CD receiver:
CD player with built-in MOSFET amplifier (22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels)
plays CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RW discs
detachable face
System Q Sound Control (6 EQ curves and a 3-band equalizer)
low-pass filter and subwoofer level control
inputs: front-panel auxiliary input
outputs: one set of preamp outputs (can be switched to subwoofer mode)
warranty: 1 year

KFC-1660S 6-1/2" speakers:
2-way car speakers for 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" locations (pair)
mica-injected polypropylene dimpled woofer cone with cloth surround
PEI semi-dome tweeter
power range: 2-35 watts RMS (170 watts peak power)
frequency response: 35-22,000 Hz
sensitivity: 92 dB
warranty: 1 year

I'm thinking a cheaper 10" sub, not run with too much power would be good, I dont want loud thumping bass, i just want to be able to hear the drums and bass guitar better.cheers2:

Ok, how would this be for a sub set up?

This amp-http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KSA3002/JVC-KS-AX3002.html?tp=115

2-channel car amplifier
65 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)
130 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
selectable low-pass (80 Hz) and high-pass (150 Hz) filters (12 dB per octave) <LI sizset="167" sizcache="32">CEA-2006 compliant
speaker- and preamp-level inputs
fuse rating: 25A x 1
8-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
8-3/8"W x 2"H x 7-3/4"D
warranty: 1 year

And this Sub/box combo-http://www.crutchfield.com/p_204110RS/Bazooka-ELB110RS.html?tp=112

ported hatchback-style enclosure with one 10" ELW1014P subwoofer
medium-density fiberboard construction covered with black carpet
4-ohm total impedance
power handling: 50-150 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
frequency response: 20-250 Hz
sensitivity: 87 dB
15"W x 13"H x 13-5/8"D1 x 11-3/8"D2
warranty: 1 year
and the power wire/fuse and RCA cable.

Would that be a good setup?

No. Simply put, that sub isn't going to fit at all in a standard-cab pickup unless you remove the passenger seat. You need to get a truck-style box if you're going to do an off-the-shelf job.

And FYI, actually it's easier to get loud (well, cleanly) in a large open room instead of the small metal can since much of the soundwaves can not actually FIT into that small metal can. ;-) Just a bit of info for ya.

The deck and fill look OK.
