[QUOTE="bigbangtheory, post: 4312903, member: 563177"] Sounds to me you are talking to the wrong people. There are many internet brands that are making big splashes like RE who is know in a lot of local stores, Fi, SSA, Stereo Integrity and the list goes on and on. I do understand you being new and all you might not want to go that route and that is fine. Hell I run a Kicker CVX 12 and love it! So if you want to stay that route, then so be it. Just was trying to give you my thought on it all. I currently run stock speakers on a 400 watt Clarion amp and they sound as good as my el cheapo MB Quarts. So you can be fine in that department as long as you amp them some. I suggest a good componet though as that is the way to go, which I have an awesome set, just wanting to sound deaden my doors first. You can get some killer deals on ebay, just don't get some cheap crap to pass you buy. There are some good sellers here in the classified section as well. Good set of cables and wiring can get up there, but I suggest with what you might be looking at a nice 0/1g wiring kit to a distro block to 4g to your amps and what not to knock some of the price down. Or if you want, do all 0/1g and call it day. Just might run ya. I suggest shielded RCA's as well. Also to save you more money, I suggest you try installing yourself. Never know, may enjoy it. I used to always do it till I hurt my back pretty bad and always kicked myself for having others do it when I knew I could do just as good and save the money. A good shop can cost ya, but if you don't trust yourself, then go that route. As far as rattles go, then try some sound deadening material. I used fatmat and Second skin in my car and I have 1 12 off 750rms almost doing 140 dbs and can barely hear anything when all the windows are up. [/QUOTE]
