[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8693274, member: 678581"] "Good build" is VERY subjective around here. Some guys are running thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of equipment on active-crossovers and DSP's with high-end components etc etc. Price seems a little high to me for a pioneer/kicker build but we can't really give you specific pricing information without knowing exactly what specific components (model numbers) are going into the build. Also are you going to replace the stock head unit? If not that completely changes other components you should buy. Are you at all interested in installing it yourself? For $2k you can put together a helluva system if you DIY. Does your car have built in navigation? Do you want to keep the navigation? If not you could get the AVH2500NEX and build around that. (You could even do better than that depending on your goals) If you want to keep factory navigation then you need to look at other options. I'd recommend going on crutchfield.com and seeing what components fit and what you want to spend. Kicker is considered a low to medium range consumer brand that many people are happy with but many here know there are better brands out there. What do you want to do? Figure out specifically these components then we can help you more or give us a budget and tell us if you're willing to DIY. Budget: Factory Navigation? Y/N HU: Factory or Aftermarket (IE:AVH2500NEX) Mid Amp: Front Speakers: Rear Speakers: Sub Amp: Subwoofer/Box: (How much space are you willing to lose in the back/how loud do you want it to be?) Almost everyone here is DIY and will point you in that direction because your money goes so much further that way. [/QUOTE]
