[QUOTE="7ender, post: 6188732, member: 584862"] Dont' be stuck on what the shop has to offer. There are hundreds of companies that make great stuff that you'll find out if you search around here. Kicker, Alpine, and JL are only the mainstream things that shops stock. Of those, I like kicker's. I'd really recommend doing the install yourself if you can. It's easier than you'd think if you just research here. You'll save a bunch that you can put towards better equipment, and to be honest I woudlnt' trust most audio shops, especially one's that are telling you Hertz are the best. I would go with those ID's for your fronts recommended above. Leave your rear speakers, all they will do is take away from soundstage. Get a nice four channel amp. My budget favorite is the Cadence txa6004. It'll do 150x2 @4ohms for your front stage, and the rear two channels can be bridged for 600 watts @4ohms for a sub. There are many subs that will do great off that 600 watts- RE SE, Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection, Fi SSD, etc etc. You may not want to listen to us because you trust your local pro...but believe us, most of us have been through enough setups to know what we're doing (well, SOME of us).
