Back at it, system help required

[enns_aw 10+ year member]

Hi,

I haven't been on the forum for quite a while now, but I am back because I have a new car and a new opportunity. I now own a Chrysler 300C with the 6 speaker Boston Acoustic sound system. I am looking to upgrade all the speakers, add an in-dash video HU and install either a single or a pair of subs. I want something that is going to be extremely loud when I want it to be, but also very nice to listen to at lower volumes for every day driving. Most of my music comes from Sirius Sat radio.

I am looking for any advice on what I want to do, any suggestions on what brands to look at and anyone else who has similar setups.

Last time I was doing this to a car everyone was hyped about DD, Kicker, MTX, AA (Ascendant Audio) and Atomic. I do not know if thats still what people are all about, but I would want all the speakers to be of the same make and series and the subs to be Really loud and have really good SQ.

The only thing that the HU needs is a 7" touch screen that folds out, at least 3 pairs of pre-outs that are 4 Volts or more with at least one of them a sub-pre-out and DVD capabilities. Oh and since I use my Sirius a lot, I would like the HU to be able to be hooked up with that too.

budget?

Well, im not sure what my budget is. I am not going to do this all at the same time. I dont want to spend a lot of money on it, but I also do not want to buy the cheapest crap out there. I also dont want to buy something with features that I will never use and spend the extra on it. Maybe $500 for the speakers (6x9, 6.5", 3.5) and maybe about the same for the HU. Subs im not sure about, but I want something that is going to be good and wont break on me.
