Use MBquart 6.5" reference coaxes all around instead of almani then get an alpine or clarion or eclipse headunit(mid level maybe!) istead of the pioneer unit ! use a mid level pre amp! save and buy if you have to but you will be much happier longer and not wishing you had moore too soon!

if u wanna get a bomb system, I would just get a JL W7 off ebay. Itll be so much cheaper and more powerful that way. U can get the in-dash off ebay for cheaper to. u need to check it out and not get ripped off.

You dont need TWO 2450 watt amps...wow. I dont know of any mid/tweet combo that'll handle that much power. If you go with those, you'll never have the volume up past 2! That's kinda overdoing it on the sub amp too...get one that's a little bigger in watts than what the subs are rated at. Also only need a mono amp for the subs. (well, depending on how they're wired)

i think that is too much! you can get alpine subs and amps set in best buy for like 400, speakers front and back for 200 and the in dash pioneer for like 900...
you dont need too fancy in dash bcuz you cant always watch in them...unless someones driving for you!

Ebay is not a way to save money if youre having the equipment installed by a shop.

people bring us ebay equipment all the time and we charge them double for installation, simply because we didn't sell them the gear. oh, and when you buy on ebay you have no warranty, most sites claim to offer warranty, but they don't. when you try to get warranty service they just ignore you until you go away.

Yeh what he said is true. The system I am going to get costs like 500 and it's a very good system. Right now I have a lot of rattles going on in my car. My tail lights are not solid in place because I bumped so much.

^--ya, I have all my rattles down to a minimum now. Get some of the stuff called armaflex (rubbery foam usually wrapped around copper pipes) and pack that in all the gaps and areas that are rattling. It weights almost nothing and stops any rattles. I put it behind my taillights, in the gap between the back window and rear deck, and the gap between the dash and windshield. I can't hear any rattles inside my car when the bass hits as hard as it will hit. From outside the only thing I can hear is my bumper underneath by the exhaust is rattling a tiny bit.. I still need to get under there one day after work and fix the rattle.. but once one rattle is gone another will pop up in a totally different area.

as long as the rattles do not overpower the music then it is not too bad! and often unavoidable
