[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8388939, member: 660781"] I think if you're to do it yourself, you should first watch/help someone who knows what they're doing. Last thing you want to do is spend over a grand and see it go in flames due to installation error. I do recommend getting the Pioneer 80PRS. It will give you the ability to tune the sound of your system to what you like. With a properly built box, you can get loud and have it sound good with around 1200 watts. I absolutely recommend 2 amps. One 2 or 4 channel one to run the mids/highs and the other to run the subwoofer. Checkout the selection of subs at ssaudio.com. Additionally, look at TC-sounds drivers at parts-express.com, as well as B2 audio. You should find out how much current your alternator can supply first though. Getting a good set of component speakers will be paramount. Component means the midwoofer and the tweeter are separate. Check out these: [URL="http://xplicitaudio.com/b2-audio-reference-6-1-component-set/"]B2 Audio Reference 6.1 Component Set - Xplicit Audio[/URL] You may also want to message @CSCSstang as he builds very good enclosures.
