Which will most likely equal over 1000 bucks.

$130, Alpine CDA-98xx

$10, Metra wiring harness

$50, KnuKonceptz 4ga 4channel amp kit

$200, CDT Components?

$200, 2x Profile AP1000 amps (or better)

$200, 12" Ascendant Audio Arsenal

$80, Box building materials and plan

im sorry... where i can find a post about dif between 2 and 4 channel amps..

the dash kit is that just something that will make the cd player fit better? cuz i have a lil hole thing under my stock radio that i put my stuff in own (papers change etc.)

Yes, a Dash Kit is just a piece of plastic trim that fits your vehicle, and the stereo.

Here is some information on amplifiers, how to wire things, and more.
