[QUOTE="QuikSilverRS91, post: 1056455, member: 552763"] Yes, while his flaws are regrettable, that doesn't mean we shouldn't help him. We were all at this point once (well... maybe not this bad.. but probably relatively close) and someone had to help us somewhere. First of all, ditch the Dual products. Dual is best buy's cheap excuse for "economy" audio. It is terrible. If money is an issue (just a guess since you're looking at all Dual products) then you should wait and maybe just buy one component at a time. For now maybe just buy the head unit... get a nice alpine (seeing as how you like to shop at best buy) and save your money for some good speakers later. The power ratings on those speakers and subs are ridiculous, and I think every one of us on the forum can vouch for the fact that you wont get anywhere near those ratings. You could put 150 watts to a single JL W0 and it would most likely put those Dual's with 600 watts to shame. So, for now, buy a nice alpine/pioneer/panasonic head unit. Just stay away from Sony, Jensen, Dual, ESA, etc. When you get some more cash buy some decent speakers (alpine/infinity/polk/kicker/etc) Then when you get even more you can buy a 4channel, a sub amp, and some subs. But that's way down the road. [/QUOTE]
