Eclipse doesnt have any authorized online dealers...you'll only find it in shops.

Browse through this forum to gather information on various component sets.

Generally, people like Morel, Diamond, Eclipse, JL, Polk, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, MTX, CDT, Crystal, Rainbow, Seas, Adire Audio, Alpine, Infinity, MB Quart, Focal, Orion, Oz, Image Dynamics, etc...

I'd get CDT's...

they're a lot more expensive, but the faded paint thing.. who cares, it's not going to be seen anyhow.

maybe it might not sound good to me, but hey, I do believe things are expensive for a reason.. and with sooooo many happy customers, I feel the chance of going wrong is very low. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Similarly, you can listen to a few of them in shops, or at least try to get opinions from users.

Keep those 4x6's out of there. Keep in mind you will only need the 6.5" component set up front...if you think you need rear fill you can opt for some later. Remember to budget in a 2 channel amp for the components - US Acoustics seem to be popular.

Above is the list I would consider...but remember, my opinion may be different that yours, and everybody elses. Personal preferences are that, personal preferences. They vary from person to person. My advice is to listen to as many component sets as possible and see which one you like... or go out on a limb and order something you think you would like. Do extensive research first, however.
