Thanks timhof13. It sounds pretty good so far.

I never said I was offended by people telling me I got a bad deal. I'm not complaining at all, I got pretty good gear professionally installed at a much higher level than I could have done, and the full warranty that I might not have gotten if I'd ordered the stuff online and installed it...

I always heard Crutchfield was pretty good to do business with, and the shop gave me better than Crutchfield prices. Well live and learn I guess. Thanks for the advice and encouragement Gary.

Hello everyone. I came in here last week and posted a couple messages. I got some advice from a couple great forum members, my thanks to them although I ended up going with a local shop rather than internet dealers. I got some pretty decent prices on my new gear, better than Crutchfield offers...

Hehe, that would've been hilarious.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check into it for sure.

Howdy all. Decided to take the jump this week and picked up a JL XD500/3 Amplifier and some JL C3-650 component speakers. Got the Crutchfield prices from the audio shop. The front end sounds fantastic, clean with not even a hint of engine noise or hiss. I'm running this through a Sony...

Breaking Bad wish list: Skyler gets a bullet in her head, Marie gets a bullet in her head, Jessie gets a bullet in his head (for being a rat), Lydia gets ***** and then gets a bullet in her head. Want to see Walt off the entire Nazi gang and personally off Jessie, Scarface-style.

Thanks again for the responses guys. I found today that the sensitivity of the Alpines I was looking at was pretty low (88dB). I think I'll need something more efficient than that. What do you guys think of the offerings from Polk Audio? Such as the DXi6501 or MM6501 speakers? I've read that...

@Skar Audio: I'm not opposed to buying gear off the internet, no. To be completely frank I doubt I have the technical ability to competently install a system though. I have done installs on my gear in the past, when I was a young buck, but frankly they all looked like crap I suppose it would be...

@ Neo: thanks for taking the time to explain the differences in the TR/VR JL Audio speakers. I'm not sure what models they were, but one of the component JL sets was $499 a pair. To answer your question about how much my budget is ~$1,500 or so. I'd like to get 2 sets of 6.5 speakers to fit...

The Alpine component speakers were mounted on a wall with several different JL Audio speakers, some Kenwood Excelons, Pioneers, Hybrid, and another brand that escapes me. The Alpines sounded the best to me, so I suppose you are right that those would be the ones I should get. I'm not sure what...

I went to a local shop and auditioned several speakers today. Do any of you guys have experience with the following speakers? Alpine SPS-610C $129.99 Alpine SPS-610 $99.99 Alpine SPS-619 $119.99 In my opinion the Alpines sounded as good as the JL Audio speakers but for a much better price...

Oh sorry folks. I forgot to mention I don't want to have to upgrade my alternator or battery!
