dude you need help here .the whole system isn't worth the cash you'll shell out .ok the alpines speakers are not that good ,mediocre at best .the pioneer amp are also junk ,as well as the bullz wire the deck is an entry level dvd deck with 2 volt preouts as well.and the kicker subs ,ok at best . you can have better for the money . what are you trying to get from the new system? can you build a box if you have plans ? do you know how to install the system ?what kind of music do you listen to ? and how much room do you have to work with ? budget ?

I am shocked, I've read stellar reviews on all the hardware and I've done the math, the watts at ohmage all meet the demand, pioneer is name brand I figured I was way better off than MTX or ebay specials.
Basically just want an all around good system with some nice bass for when I need it. Yeah I can build a box, Im a metal fabricator by trade so I'm good with tools and have experience working with wood (thats what she said)
I've done alot of research and feel entirely confident with installing my self. My last setup was a 10" kicker sub, 4 channel kicker amp, 2 new kenwood speakers up front and a kenwood deck. Did all that myself, along with an engine swap, different seating setup and new carpet.
I listen to rock & electronica mostly. anything from Queen to Daft Punk, The Eagles, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down
Room? As in vehicle space? I want to keep my back seat 100% usable. Thats why I choose that sub box, meant to fit under my seat, not alot of space down there. I figured I could cut out some of the plastic paneling from behind the rear seats to mount my amps under the rear windshield and be hidden by the seats. Not enough room under driver/passenger seats for the slimmest of amps.
I calculated $1400 total cost on all the equipment listed above. Dont want to break that, I already ordered the speakers (they arrive tomorrow) and I have already installed my head unit with GMOS. I am still shocked to hear these Alpine speakers and Pioneer $250 headunit are crap.

Thought you had the same head unit as me for a second there, I see now it says 4100 not 1400 in your sig

how is the AVH-P4100DVD the same as the AVH-P1400DVD? but my lows10 is right. you could get a way better system for the money you're spending.

Oh my mistake..
So what do I look for? I was kind of stuck with those subs because they were what came with the box that would fit. I choose Pioneer amps because it was the cheapest big brand name for appropriate power. I choose the avh-p1400dvd because all the reviews were awesome for it. Same goes for the alpine hardly any bad notes to be found anywhere about them.
I really need some guidance here apparently.
PM mylows10 he knows his stuff, and he'll set you in the right direction. Just tell him your budget and what you're looking to do.
Or just read up on the forums. You'll learn a lot in short amount of time.
Just a heads up... Those kicker 10" truck boxes sound like TURD !!! My buddy was running 1 of those in his truck for all of about 10 minutes & then we ended up building an enclosure for a crappy old single Pioneer champion 12" just becuse I had it collecting dust and it blew that kicker out of the water, no comparison what so ever, I mean it wasn't even close at all... So that being said, it would not take much at all to surpass that kicker you were planning on buying with just about anything else with the properly built enclosure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
