You guy's seem to know a lot about audio equipment. I on the other hand, don't.

What do think about this setup?

Kenwood KDC-X959 - HU
KHD-CX910 - Kenwood Excelon Music Keg (20gb MP3 changer)
KTC-SR902 -- SIRIUS Satellite Tuner

I also want to add the Lucid DCI, change the fronts speakers and add the s-pods as well.

What speakers do you recommend?
Do you think I'll need an amp?
Where's the best place to locate the changer/tuner etc on the car?
Which is the best type of satellite antenna and where should it be placed (i'd prefer hidden so would a trunck antenna in the map pocket on the passenger side work etc)?

This ain't gonna be cheap so I want to get it right first time!

Where's the best place to buy the kenwood stuff?

Cheers
Wardy

 

If you plan to be a Kenwood then I will warn you NOT to put kenwood excellon's into the S-Pods. I did this, and it was a PITA because of the mounting flange on the speaker (as well as the tweeter.) There is a link in my sig re: Audio System that has more detal and pix on my issues with the Kenwood speaker.

You said you want to do it right and do it once. Get an amp.

There are several places to hide things. I since you don't need to service (read: change CD cartridges) on any of your expansion devices, the trunk is a stong choice. You could also fit one of the devices under the driver's seat (there is less room under the passenger seat, but you might be able to fit the SIRIUS module there.) The antenea would likely be best worked into the secret compartment area. It would be hidden, and not covered over by metal.

Also if you are OK with it, you can dump the spare tire and put an amp or something in that area.
