Will you will need a half decent LOC. But what is you total budget on this project including everything. Because LOC range from crap to excellent and you can imagine the price does to. From $19.95 to over $300. Easier with your budget to recommend.

If I were you, I would save more money to get better equipment if you care about good sound. And secondly, you are driving a Benz for Pete sake. Do not embarrass yourself with low budget stuff. The two just don't go together. My two cents.

Equipment and install should not cost you more than 1000 bux for very decent equipment, as you can buy some real good used stuff.

$500 is not going to give you a highly predictable outcome I hate to say. It might give you some junk in the trunk instead of something that is balanced to the rest of the system. Rethink your budget some and wait if you must. Do it once and do it right.
