Lol Bri...Actually I dunno what your selling your stuff for but it's some nice equipment to look into, if your comfortable buying used. I just listed new stuff that would fit your budget and be pretty good quality at the same time.

the xtant was used for 8 months or so, and the eclipse is brand new in the box. i had another one, but i wanted a new one to keep for another install, so i worked the system and sent it back under warrenty and the eclipse dealer had one for me the next day. i have no clue what to even ask for the stuff.

2 Pioneer TS-W126's $120

POWER ACOUSTIK OV2-1600 2CH 1600W $160 (My gf has this amp powering 2 lightning audio strike series subs very nicely)

POWER ACOUSTIK OV4-800 4CH $100

PIONEER TS-C160R 6.5" REV COMPONENTS $150

PIONEER 6x9" REV SERIES SPEAKERS TS-D901P $105

That should still leave you with plenty for a nice deck, a prefab box (if you can't build your own), or possibly the install.

I'm currently running the pioneer subs and for the money they sound great and I have been impressed with how long the power acoustik amp has held up in my gf's car. I also have heard good things about the rev speakers.

Ok, well I would suggest you look into some Panasonic h/u, they have great function, are good for budget and look pretty nice too.
Speakers- check out some CDT components, Diamond audio, Focal for front components.

Speaker amp- Something along the lines of Profile 2ch. Or Crossfire make some nice speaker amps for the money.

(4ch. if you want rear speakers wich really are not needed.)

Subwoofer- Incriminator Audio 187's (low-hz.com)

Sub amp- anything that can give an rms of 300 per woofer.

i was talking to a local shop about panasonic, they said there good without subs. a 130 db sub will make the h/u skip. first chance i get i am selling my panasonoic h/u

Well I was goin to run panasonic because someone I know recommended it to me and he was running 2 12" SEXXX's and 2 12" Mags ported. Oh ya I forgot to mention local shops are idiots.
