Alright guys, I have made up my mind that I want to start over and get HIGHEND equipment, and install it perfect the first time. Im thinking of going ARC Audio and Eclipse. Im thinking ARC amps, and Eclipse componants and subs. You guys think this could work for a bad *** setup? I will probably do 4 10's sealed. Alluminum or Titanium, depending if I want to go out COMPLETELY or just subtly. I want it loud, and I want it to sound good. With these companies, I don't think I can go wrong. Also, when I say start over, I mean head unit and everything. Wondering if i should save up for the double din dvd/cd/gps that VIP_Tc has or just get a nice Alipine flip out for the deck. Either way, a new deck is in order. This may be the last componant I get, but it will come.

Edit: possibly ARC audio subs, http://www.arcaudio.com/arc-05/subwoofers/flat_12d2.htm , any clue how they perform?

Id go for a simple alpine HU. and ive heard those eclipse subs get pretty loud and sound good while doing it id go with the Ti's if you wanna be really loud or either to get decently loud and save some cash get the alums.

Ive only heard praise about ARC, my money will be spent well, yet hopefully reserve some with a lower output amp, maybe 800 watts? not 2000 and all that nonsense. I'm ready for GOOD sound, not lil' jon and all that rattling the hell out of the car. My only delimma is, I drive an 05 and i CANNOT matt it at all. and with 4-6 tens......I'm worried about this. Do you know anything about the ARC subs? specifically the ones listed.

eclipse subs are tooooo good for their components lol and i dont really like either. it is your system and your ears so their are reasons you suggested those i would look at other components even mb quarts lol

I'm looking at going full ARC Audio really. Other than an Eclipse deck. But are you sayin gthe alluminums and titaniums are what Eclipse is good for, not componants?

i have never heard the sub in real life but just ran it through bbp and win isd and they both show that the sub should play very well as far as sq in a 2.584cu ft @28.44Hz, again that's just software calculations and not actual experience with the sub. the sub does look well built il like the low qts and power handling. plus flat cones always look sexy.
