Help disign new system

[Newcar]

Please give your ideas on total system. I am new at this and will have a professional install.

Keeping stock head unit in 2005 Honda Pilot. Planning on component 6.5" up front in stock location, 6.5" coax rear doors and 10" sub built in current stock location (with some build out) and 5-channel amp or multiple amplifiers. With professional install, willing to pay up to $3,000. Music tastes run from jazz to rock.

While I am here, any recommendations of installers in the Denver area. Thanks!

So...what are you looking for? SQ, SPL, SQL? "range from Jazz to Rock" doesnt help.

If i were you, id hang around here for a month and save yourself a good 500$ on a professional install.

I am looking for clean sound with near concert level. Don't need ultimate bass extension or loudness. Given the poor dimensions of the speaker locations and extensive cutting, etc. required, I intend to stick with professional installation.

factory locations would lend way to focal components or cdt components (imo) they sound good off axis (meaning doors). i wouldnt recomend rear speakers but hey if you feel the need. as far as picking a shop you have to look and ask reputations mean alot to installers.
