[QUOTE="LoudSound, post: 8544551, member: 671797"] First decide what you want. Sound quality or loud sound?(that will still sound crystal clear, just not as REFINED. Think club.) I suggest you do it yourself if you want to stay within the $500 budget and have a half decent system. Look into some pro loudspeakers. Either 6 or 8 inch. 1 of those will be as loud as 5 car speakers [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nerd.gif.c6fa51ddf7ff75f1c0371fbc648f70ae.gif[/IMG] They can be had as low as $30-$50 a piece. Door treatment is a must. I suggest 4mm vibration dampening mat on outer part of the door and inner part. You have a very nice HU, Just switch to network. It's not all that complicated. You can always ask if you're not sure about something. You can learn the basics of car audio in 1-2months AS you go. What's so hard about adjusting crossovers? Mid filter on that HU should have a bandpass mode, you won't even need the amp crossover, it will be used as backup. Mids can play from around 80hz.
