Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Looking back through this while I attempt to pry tax return money away from the wife it occurs to me, is there a big difference between 2 way and 3 way component sets? I noticed one of you is putting forth a 2 way set and the other is recommending a 3 way set. Will there be some loss in in sound...

Yeah I'm itching to hear/build some of this new stuff, but it'll be a while.

And design has changed so much as well, I looked at those Ascendant Chaos 10s and they look like weapons! Subs used to look like oversized speakers, but those things look like they're build to kill. I need a winning lotto ticket, I see too much **** that I want.

Which is mind blowing considering many of those brands (well the older brands at least) were a lot of the go to products that you saw at car shows...I mean Kicker when they first came out with the L7s were in EVERY magazine, every other car you came across gathering a crowd had square subs in...

That's part of my problem, most of the brands I see guys on this site discussing are brands I've never heard of, names that didn't exist when I was looking at stereo equipment 20 years ago, etc...I mean somebody mentioned Audiofrog to me and looked them up expecting some cheapy throw away swap...

Alright dumb question #984 , dB ratings on speakers give you an idea of sensitivity and (unless I'm wrong) potential sound quality, is there a rating like dB that applies to amps to use to compare amps?

I might take you up on that if I ever get a free second away from the family, I really like the look of the 2700BS and the 2600BT as well as well as the pretty strong reviews.

Maybe it's Amazon, but looking at the 1 5 star against the 4 1 star ratings makes me hesitant. I did come across a nice application specific dash mount for my phone so I'm a little less hung up on the Mirrorlink issue (partly because I just spend 45 minutes reading through reviews bitching about...

Well I never looked at it that way, I see people and seats in the way blocking the front from the back, I never even thought about the fact that there aren't any speakers behind the crowd. Not sure where the attitude is coming from, but I appreciate your input...head unit and front components...

So basically I'm down to I need a decent head unit, some decent front components, and some 6x9 woofers I the back, new question, which would I be better off with, 6x9 or 6.5 woofers in the rear? I'm still curious as to the whole 6x9 vs 6.5 debate, what's the difference (aside from dimensions...

I'd hardly say dead set on anything, I'm questioning it because I don't understand how it works, trying to learn here and logically what you're saying doesn't make sense, but I know I have a poor grasp of car audio and staging is a concept that I'm lost on. This is why I'm here, to pick your...

I didn't realize it had touch screen as well, that was my hangup. It all looks good, but is there a better option for the rear to add mids and highs so my rear passengers aren't just listening to bass?

Good to know, thank you! I'm kind of hung up on the touch screen and mirror link purely because I want to use my phone for my primary music source and navigation while controlling it through my deck allowing me to getin the car connect my phone, put it to the side, start my commute, and then...
