forget the rears in a reg. cab chevy, instead focus on a good pair of components for the front, a decent HU and a decent 2 channel amp. Your sub-stage can happen down the road and you can get better pieces for your front stage.

i actually bought a system for 700 bucks but i kinda dicked myself on the amp, thats the only thing i need to upgrade. i got a PA a1000db amp for about 185 and a 15" tc-3000 for 430 with shipping... so id say around 700, but you can go single sub and still have a very good system. look at ascendantaudio.com ficaraudio.com soundsplinter.com and tcsounds.com all very very good drivers.

you can go with 1 12 inch sub and thatll be plenty loud, dunno about mids nd stuff though

if you want some memphis subs i have some nice memphis power reference 10's. i have a total of 4 but can sell by the pair or single. They are dual 4's. 120 shipped for 2, 65 shipped for 1 and 200 shipped for the 4

I've alwayz gone with Pioneer head units, i've had mine for over 2 years now, no problems at all with it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ya ive been thinking about either the pioneer touch screen retractable display head unit. or the alpine head with the white bar on the bottom that you can scroll through ur mp3s with. i cant remember the name of it right off the top of my head. I plan on keeping this truck way past collage and turning it into a show truck. do those ascadent audio subs hit pretty hard? harder thanthe w3's?

 

[05chevyguy 10+ year member]

do you not like that hu?

 

[05chevyguy 10+ year member]

ha ya thats the truth.

so do you not reccomend memphis or alpine S's?

 

[05chevyguy 10+ year member]

[05chevyguy 10+ year member]

Don't do it. Trust me. It screws up the stereo imaging. I've got an 01 reg. cab. I put 6.75" components up front and dropped the rear speakers altogether. It can be very loud and will sound good doing it. Take the cash you would have spent on the rear speakers and buy some sound deadening to put in the doors and it will sound even better.
