[QUOTE="BigRedNole, post: 8679922, member: 677587"] I am guessing you mean some type of sound deadening material. If so, I have read Noico gets great reviews at a great price point. To put it in perspective, I had to get a new car. I was looking at a bunch of options, but logic set in when I got an incredible deal on this used Camry. It was $10k less than others I was looking at, very roomy, comfortable, stylish, and $10k less. What I gave up was a little bit of nice leather to sit on AND a less than garbage sound system. Everything I have read says to spend on the fronts and ignore rears. So, this is my rough planning. 1. Fronts: 2-way most likely at ~$500. If someone has a recommendation for a great set for less, then better for me. 2. Head unit: Looking at something in the $400-$500 range (maybe Pioneer 4500NEX or other recommendations) 3. Amp: Something nice that fits the speakers ($150 - $300). Maybe 4-channel bridged or 4-channel for active (not sure about active setup though). I don't know what to do with an active setup without more research. 4. Sub: I don't want something that shakes the car, wakes the neighbors, or can be heard 3 neighborhoods away. I want it to have great sound quality and can handle fast low frequency hits without it being one long drawn out muffled garbage sound. This will be added in a few months unless I can get an idea of a good option that fits in my budget. [/QUOTE]
