[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8396356, member: 660781"] mylows is right, need goals. Don't forget you need a good box for that 18" and I imagine it's going to be quite large - yes, you have to get it custom built and I see that adding at least $200 to the final bill. What about the head unit? Does he already have one? If not, shoot for something decent with 4V pre-outs. As far as installation, do the big 3 first, then install all the equipment. Play it and if the lights don't dim, you're fine for now. When that one batt, you can get an AGM battery. Btw, autozone has those a bit cheaper. It's a decent size car and may have a decent size alternator already - I recommend you find out how big. I also recommend wiring for all the amps at once as it's easier and cheaper. You can do a 0awg run from the battery to the trunk (dist block) and then short runs of 4awg from there - one to each amp. There's a good selection of good speakers at $200 and below that will be plenty loud and clear - CDT, JBL, Pioneer, B2, Polk, Infinity, etc. [/QUOTE]
