[QUOTE="mshollan, post: 8597145, member: 673741"] Hi All, I'm pretty new to the whole car audio industry and am looking to get my first aftermarket sound system set up in my car. I just bought a used 2013 Mazda CX-5 Sport with the most basic sound system and am looking to upgrade. My budget on parts is around $500-$800 and I'm hoping to get some advice on how I can get the best sound system with this budget. Here is what I was thinking so far: Rear coax speakers - Infinity Kappa 62.11I 150W 6.5-Inch 2-Way Coaxial Speakers - $105 Front component speakers - Infinity Kappa 60.11CS 6-3/4" component speaker - $160 Dampening material - Stinger RKX36B Roadkill Dampening Bulk Pack - $95 Amp - JL Audio RD400/4 NexD 4 Chan Class D Amp - $270 Subwoofer - MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub - $150 Total part cost - ~$780 Someone also recommended that I also get: AudioControl LC7i Black 6-Channel Line Output Converter - $135 I'm not sure what this does and if it's required. Is this worth the extra $135? Installation - The first store I went to quoted me $410 to get all of this installed (Component-$150, Coax-$90, Amp-$170). This seemed pretty steep to me. Is this a normal price to charge for installation? If there are options that could be less expensive (in the $300 range, I would love to hear those as well). Any help/advice is much appreciated!!
