Yes, but that $700 could have been better spent - and if you replace it all in the future (which is likely), then how much did you really save?

That's like growing up...my mother used to LOVE the sale rack. Well, that stuff was there for a reason. And she'd say "But, John (cuz that's my name), this stuff is HALF off. It's only $10 instead of $20." And I'd say "ahh, but, mom (cuz that's what I called her), I won't wear any of it. So you could save 100% on it and not throw money into something I won't wear."

I work at best buy as an installer, and I would never subject my door to installing the kappa components. THAT TWEETER IS HUGE AND UGLY. The kappa perfects on the other hand have a much smaller tweeter as far as size. I have no idea why the kappa tweeter is so huge and ugly. I dunno about the how the perfects sound however.

oh and if your friend works at best buy, tell him to look at the infinity accomodation. He/she should know where to find that.

you keep forgetting in mind that i basically got half off on my sub, speakers, and amp and 25% off my deck. i bought everything on discount thats the MAIN reason i purchased my system at best buy in the first place because i got a 1400 system for a lil over 700
Your half off is nothing. The markup is crazy on car audio especially bestbuy. Don't quote me on this but my friend told me something like 200 percent?

Go with Pioneer Premier and a decent set of components. Really, I'd get something else from Best Buy instead of the components...but I understand.

what are some good components to match the alpine type r? also should i just get a 2 channel amp for the speakers and sub instead of a 1000w mono amp for only the sub?

also.. the best buy audio guys said they dont advise getting a 2 channel amp to power the speakers and sub?? true?
