[QUOTE="D-C, post: 1616109, member: 565030"] +1 on the install. Sound deadening in particular made a huge difference for my truck, it was worth the effort and money. I had my whole interior ripped out, and did the whole thing. There are stickies on this as well as other aspects of the install throughout the site, and they are all super helpful. I guess what you need to ask yourself is whether you will be doing this yourself or not! As far as equipment goes, don't skimp on anything. Proper wiring, high quality amps (I didn't quite do that myself, but wish I had) etc... It helps a lot to listen to the speakers you're going to put it too. In general, it seems most people go with 6.5" components. They all seem to sound different, so take some time and listen to them. If you can't do that, take a guess like I did. I'm not completely satisfied, but I was working on a budget. Lastly, make sure to read a ton. It's time consuming but I think it's worth it- unless you're taking your car to a shop I guess. Or at least a bit less important in that case! Good luck. I learned sooo much in my first (and recent) install that it was really satisfying. I have a long way to go and can't wait for the next one. If that's what you're after, start reading and get ready for a ton of work hehe. [/QUOTE]
