Heres how i'd do it. Alpine 7995 head unit (nice silver and blue lights, 4v outs for front rear and sub, and good sq). Focal speakers all around, Focal 130 KP components up front, and Focal Polyglass 690CV 6x9 midranges in the back deck, all of the previous speakers pushed by a jl 300/4. For the subs, I'd go with either a pair of jl w3v2 12's pushed by a 500/1, or a single jl w6 pushed by that same 500/1. Either one you pick, I'd do a ported box, about 4 cubes for the w3's and about 3 cubes for the w6, tuned to like 30 Hz. (I'd use 3" aeroports for the box ports, you can get them at www.partsexpress.com) I'd source the focals from partsexpress too, and try and find the jl amps and subs at www.onlinecarstereo.com or http://www.dealtime.com/xPP-Car_Audi...audio-jl_audio , and the head unit at www.ikesound.com . Good luck, oh yeah, and system totals at ~$2K.

I would go with the Pioneer DEH 76000MP,
(2) Kicker L7's 4 ohm,
For fronts JL Audio XR650-CSi components,
Rear JL Audio VR690-CX

Amps for subs, Kicker KX600.1
Components, Kicker IX404

Youre set.

Most of that can be bought offa ebay for cheap, its just the waiting that I hate. But aye, good things come to those who um, don't rush sh*t... or sumthin like that i think.
