[QUOTE="SQChevy, post: 4536262, member: 565530"] 1) My preference would be either Alpine or Pioneer. I've never been a big fan on Kenwood, not that they don't make good headunits, but for the purpose of SQ they just don't show up often. 2) I had some Infiniti Kappa's a while back, and while not the perfects I thought they sounded great at the time. Then I got into car stereo competitions, and realized what I thought sounded good was just ok. I've used a few lines of Focal speakers and would suggest them over the Infiniti Perfects if you can fit them into your budget. 3) I'd hold off on the rearfill. If you set things up right in the front, then rearfill is unnecessary. This will allow you to spend more money of your front stage and amps instead. At a later date, if you still feel you want the rearfill then I would do it later. 4) JL does make pretty good amps. I had the Slash series 300/4, 300/2, and 1000/1. They all worked very well. They do cost a bit more but you don't try to overheat amps by dropping ohm load to get more power. You might also want to check out Audison, Focal, or JBL (there are others but those come to my head). 5) That's a good idea. This will give you time also too possibly match the sub with the speakers you decide to use. Often the sub will blend well with the speakers, but it's not necessary to have them match. 6) You can get good deals on ebay, but you do not have the factory warranty. Make sure to check out peoples rating on ebay before buying from them and make sure to ask them that if the speakers blow, assuming power is within the proper range, what kind of comfort do they give. IE: If already blown will they refund your money or if they don't work. Just be careful and not too wary to buy at the first good deal you get. I've sold high end product before at about half of market price because it was used. They were in good working order and I just wanted some money back on them. Just to try and put your mind at ease somewhat. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
