[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8751549, member: 676743"] No just no on the head unit. Buy a proper head unit not some Chinese Amazon or eBay head unit. Those always have problems with software, firmware or not working properly from the get go. 1/0 OFC power wire & ground wire or use 1/0 welding wire unless you buy a kit with OFC stuff in it. If you plan on doing components then a 4 channel amplifier so you can go active with them. Lots of people buy midbass separate and do the tweeter purchase separate. One of the best set of midbass you can get are the Stevens MB-6 but you need some depth as they are kinda big for a 6.5" midbass. You do the set of tweeters on channels 1 & 2 then the midbass on channels 3 & 4. doesn't have to be 80mil stuff. Stay away from Fatmat, Noico and Killmat they are all the same asphalt based company. Stick with Resonix or Second Skin. Yes it costs more but the quality is second to none. Resonix has been tested as the best out there by a independent tester in a group on face book called The Deadening. As far as tweeters go you can mount on the a-pillars or in the upper part of the door all depends on the vehicle. If you really want to get into tuning then the way to go is a DSP. Dayton DSP-408 is the cheapest quality one out there, there is also the JBL MS-8, Rockford Fosgate makes a nice one, for higher end you have Zapco, Helix and so on. DSP is really the way to go when going active and wanting full control over tuning. Yes it takes some time to learn but it is worth it. I am installing one here later this year and I know it will take a couple weeks to get the tune to the way I want it for the music I listen to. Idk if you plan on subwoofer/s but if you do contact buck on here to design a box for your vehicle and he can help suggest which ones to buy. [/QUOTE]
