Is this good for $1700

1. Custom 7 inch tv in the dash covered with tinted plexiglass so you can't see it when its off
2. Power inverter
3. PS2 with in the glove compartment or under the seat
4. 3 10" MTX Thunder 8000s in a box
5. MTX 5 channel amp
6. Wires
7. Darker tint 5%sides and rear 30% front window
8. Cover for the box so it looks like it is part of the trunk
9. Fog lights
10. Clifford rs3 pager alarm with remote start

Is that a good price and do you think it is worth it for me?

I've never been a fan of a TV and PS2 stuff in a little car like a civic. Thats just me though. I'd rather spend the money on a really good headunit and speakers to go with that amp and sub. Good choice on everything else I'd say, especially the alarm

Sounds like a good deal to me for all of that stuff, I don't know who you are getting it all through though....I also agree with above statement, just go for the total sound system

For me ... no ... not my bag baby.

System yes, but a PS in a car no. I just don't see it getting used much.

For that you could get a sweet little motorcycle .....

I just spent $1,000 on a used 1998 250 Ninja w/ 700 miles on it. Add on some gear and insurance and your there. Fun fun fun. .....

I almost like it more than my '03 Honda CBR600 F4i .... seriously. Its a really fun bike.

I bet you would get more use out of the bike.

If you use a spare key bypass, the key goes under the dash, not the engine compartment. There is at least one bypass that doesnt require a spare key, made by dei, but its not very easy to find, most places dont stock it. Is this stuff new? It sounds like a pretty decent deal. What mtx 5 channel amp is going to power 3 8000's?

And i dont think a ninja 250 counts as a motorcycle, its more like a scooter with gears.
