best deals right now are in stores that are closing down... Circuit City, Tweeter and Hifi buys. They are selling speakers for 50-70% list price.

Post your location, maybe someone close by to you can help u with your install.

Depending on how good of a system you like

I would suggest Alpine 9886 deck, Alpine Type-R, PDX amp or alpine 4 channel amp. Sub wise there is JL stealth or buy a box from some guys here that make them. Which is cheaper and can get a cheaper sub.

I cannot remember who makes the sub boxes here... but hopefully they will chime in.

$1000 in products alone, also allocate cabling, and accessories and installation if you cannot do it yourself.

Good luck...

okay so ive been looking around at car audio and i have this set up in mind...

amp: alpine MRP-M500 500w class d mono MOSFET with adjustable crossover
speakers: alpine SPC-600C 6.5 2 way coaxial (
deck: Pioneer DEH-P5000UB 50W x 4 MOSFET iPod/Satellite Radio-Ready CD Deck
sub: alpine SWR-1242D 12" dual voice-coil 4-ohm

please let me know your .02 i want bass! let me know if you have any recommendations

also this is very important. my set up will all come from only Best Buy, so please do your .02 on whats at the site/store. they said the type r speakers dont fit unless you customize it to fit. also should i go with different speakers since MY04 has tweeters in the head rest and the type s might sound too...... sharp (for lack of better word). if i get new speakers w/ tweeters, sub, amp and deck will the tweeters in the head rest still work?

also #2 where can i get a 12" sub enclosure that will fit in my tool space? (except ebay)

please help i need to know by today! thanks
