[QUOTE="93accordlxwhite, post: 3264764, member: 579807"] Yeah I'm always apprehensive when taking advice from someone trying to sell me something. That's why these forums are so great, unbiased reviews, and personal answers. As far as my question about brands, I'm basically just trying to learn which brands are generally considered 'good,' and which brands are generally labeled 'bad.' Can you explain what a four channel amp is please? AFAIK it means that each channel will power one speaker. And I should look for an amp which has around the same level of power per channel as each one of my speakers. Then I can somehow splice the two wires that go from the amp to the rear speakers and power the sub from those correct? Yep, I figure the wiring harnesses and kits are kind of like 'extras' that I don't really need to worry about when it comes to pricing right off the bat. Wiring/kits for the speakers(to adapt to the old plugs,) amp, and head unit, should be less than $100 correct? I've see that link before and it looked very helpful. I've had experience switching between my stock head unit and the aftermarket crappy Aiwa installed by Best Buy. It isn't that hard, just takes time. I'm hoping that will be how the rest of the install goes as well:) What is a 'dash kit'? I'm unfamiliar with that term. [B]I'm looking for both good and cheap speakers, not just cheap ones.
