Hello there. My truck was crushed by an avalanche this winter but never totaled. A lot of water damage inside the vehicle but insurance would only warranty the head. I just had that replaced with a 7 inch Pioneer AVH 4500 NEX. That was the unit in there and so they just put the same back in. I need to replace all the speakers, tweeters in the dash and front and back door panels and figure they might as well put in a sub while they are at it. Budget is around $1200 but could go up a bit I suppose. They best shop off the hill is trying to sell me on either the Kicker KSS269 or Kenwood eXcelon in that price range with a Kicker CXA 400.1 amp and an single 10 inch Kicker woofer under the seat. Haven't read many good things here about Kicker and not a ton of talk about the Kenwood eXcelons speakers.. Seems like Kicker amps are good and that one would be fine for what they are doing. Any thoughts on which speakers between the two or should I be looking at other brands in that price range or something that would be close. TY very much. This stuff seems more complicated than I thought. They want to charge me $1300 with install out the door but this is prob the best shop within an hour of me.
