[QUOTE="ss3079, post: 294378, member: 542009"] As you stated earlier, be sure to budget in electrical system upgrades (alt / batt). - Head unit, fine choices. - Component amp, fine again ... US Acoustics, Orion, etc might be a little cheaper. 2 channel is fine if you're only running one component set. Maybe save a little here and get the 9815, doesn't really matter though. Or save and upgrade subs, whatever. - Hifonics or Cadence would probably be my choice ... 1500 @ 1ohm is a nice number. Always add another one later, and a $300 price tag is appealing to most. - Subs ... Instead of SE's ... you could go with SEXXX's, a little louder for you. With the SEXXX's, the bigger the box the better, or at least thats what I've been told. - Really only need one component set up front with an amp. Take the money from the rear speakers and get those nicer components and amp you have always wanted. If you're sold on rear fill, a simple two way is fine. If you have a chance to listen to the Perfects, do so. They fall into the 'love/hate' bin ... well most speakers do, but these drastically change the looks on certain people when they hear them [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Back to the vehicle ... are you planning on using this for just comps? Or will it be a daily driver as well? Can you get ahold of a CRX or anything along those lines? Mazda 323, Chevy Sprint, etc? Still get a lot of airspace out of those. Your Escort might cut it, see how much room you have in there. Decisions, decisions, decisions. - Steve [/QUOTE]
