[QUOTE="ShipThoseBIPS, post: 7290118, member: 632261"] Thanks in advance to any and all willing to share their expertise to help me with my decision. Here's my situation: Currently have a 2006 Acura TL with a stock stereo system (8" woofer, 2 - 6x9 speakers, 2 - 6.5" speakers in front doors, 2 tweeters). Looking to make an upgrade. Used to have 2 - JL Audio 12W3s back in the day with a 500/1 monoblock JL Audio Amp (with 2 - 5.25" door speakers and 2 - 5x7 rear speakers, all Infiniti brand). I'm looking for bass that is more crisp, clean, but can still pound. I recently went shopping. I was quoted the following prices for the following two setups: 1.) JL Audio Setup (my preference) - ~$2,800 1 - 10W6 subwoofer (fiber glass custom box to fit in rear, left of trunk) 1 - Multi-channel JL Audio Amplifier (75x4 for speakers; 300x1 for subwoofer) 2 - 6.5" JL Audio circular speakers w tweeters for front (entry level, C-somethings??) 2 - 6x9 JL Audio rear speakers 1 - Not sure what you call this. Device to integrate all speakers / subwoofer into the existing headunit. I have navigation system stock w car, so it's a touch screen. This device also has an auxilary output to hook up an iPod or w/e. Labor charges, wires, etc. 2.) Rockford Fosgate Setup - ~$1,700 1 - 10P2 or 10V2 subwoofer (cost is only about $100) w standard box, nothing special 1 - Rockford Fosgate Multichannel Amplifier for speakers & subwoofer 2 - MTX 6.5" speakers for front w tweeters 2 - MTX 6x9 rear speakers 1 - The device to integrate, as stated above Labor charges, 4 gauge wiring, etc. I think #2 is a crappy setup and #1 is over-priced. I'm debating buying the stuff online and strictly paying someone to install it, but my understanding is that there is a huge markup on the equipment and if you don't buy from them, they won't be as inclined to do as good of a job in terms of installation. Please advise. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
