all valid points...i reckon you need to work out how much power you really want/need first and then your real budget...what ever that is double it and add some for mistakes..lol

then again you can buy someone half finished project and save a lot of time and money...i knew of two half finished 1200/ca's here in brissy for good money.

i have two 1200's and money permitting they are both getting ca's...one big power jobbie and one daily driver...probably with biggish power too

plus this site has tonnes of good stuff to buy and good info to help with either install so read carefully first and ask more q's.
