[QUOTE="JungleMan, post: 2874445, member: 562824"] Well, I want to put together a basic system for my 1991 Pontiac Firebird and I'm not really sure where to start.

I am not aiming to have the most killer sound system on the block, I just want something with great volume and clarity [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I have a great head unit already, an Alpine CDE-9845, and my source is either high-bitrate MP3 from my Creative Zen Touch going through the Aux input, or my XM receiver with FM modulation.
