[QUOTE="OakIris, post: 3389841, member: 580426"] Well, I'm old (in my 50's) so I am not sure I can post something about a Colorado girl needing help. lol [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] I knew I could get everything on line for cheaper, and I should have done further research to find a local shop that would have been willing to install equipment that they didn't sell. I decided to go the "one stop shop" route instead. I think I have learned my lesson! I figure that if I have Circuit City do the reconfiguration work, they will have to replace the speakers under warranty if they set them up incorrectly. I really don't listen to my music overly loud - I would like to keep my hearing, after all. As mentioned by DejaWiz, I really want to make the equipment I have now work the way it should as opposed to throwing more money at the system. I started out with a budget of approx. $600 and ended up spending way more than that. I actually did some research before choosing the equipment; I just should have done more research to figure out if I could install it myself! My critical listening is done with my home systems, I just wanted to have a good sound in my vehicle. Besides which, I am looking for sound quality, not sound quantity - loudness is not what I am after.
