Need some help on what to ask for for CHRISTMAS!!!

[Jonathan627 10+ year member]

Ok so Christmas is coming up and I am asking for all car audio equipment. I can't wait b/c I have my girlfriend buying me a head unit, my mom and dad buying me some speakers and my brother is going to get the amp. NOW I already have (2) 12" Kicker CVR's and a zx750.1 amp so my BASS is taken care of. Thing is, I have an old school JVC head unit I want to upgrade and no speakers in my backseat and some old Alpine Type S 6 1/2's up front that I need to upgrade. I am pretty set on all Alpine because I really want some crisp highs and lows and actually want to hear my lyrics b/c the CVR's pound in my 95' Camaro. So here goes...feel free to provide any input and let me know what you would do if it was your money!!!!!

HEAD UNIT:

Price range: $150-200

Brand(s): ALPINE....Maybe Clarion, Kenwood Excelon or just some bada$$ HU

I realllllly am wanting some color or some cool looking design or something that is cosmetically appealing cuz' I'm tired of staring at my old school plain jane JVC head unit!!!!!

Front Speakers and Rear Speakers:

I need (4) 6 1/2" speakers.

Price range: Really not sure but I guess $100-200

Brand(s): ALPINE....Maybe KICKER, Clarion, Infinity Reference, Pioneer or something else on the high end...

Amplifier:

Here's where I really am clueless as to what to ask for. I haven't really dealt with smaller amps or anything but seeing as how I have a mono amp for my subs, I'm thinking I need some kind of little amp to power my 6 1/2's.

Price Range: $100-250...(preferrably a little on the budget end!!)

Brand(s): ALPINE...or Kicker, Infinity Reference.

Also, I needed to upgrade some of my wire, (Power, Ground, RCA's) So I was wondering maybe what I should go for there. I was also thinking about a capacitor...but not really sure if I need one. Finally, I've got some major rattling issues going on so should I go for Dynamat or opt for some Cheaper stuff somewhere???? Thanks all for any help, I know this is a lot to ask and it's a long post but I reallllllllllly appreciate ANY help or advice you all would like to provide!!!!! BTW, I am probably going to look to EBAY for my equipment as it seems that's where the best prices are.....but best buy does have alpine and stuff so I don't know. Help me out guys!!!! Thanks!!!

Jeez man, I was just asking what boxing day was.....and I am going to get cash. I just didn't know which specific HU, Speakers, Amp, or any other shit I should buy. How anything I said makes me slow......I don't know about that one. Just a simple question looking for suggestions....thanks for looking though... ..

ask for a job so you can pay for your own shit.

 

[Jonathan627 10+ year member]

Ok....I have a job. There's this holiday called Christmas coming up where everybody buys everybody else shit.....so seeing as how I am buying everybody else stuff...hey guess what, some people are buying me stuff too so it happens to be car audio equipment I would otherwise buy for myself. Once again, thanks for looking though, and thanks for the advice.....I guess. Jeez.......this place has always been helpful, why do some just feel they have to come into some posts and write the most ignorant, unnecessary BS.

Jesus christ guys.... God forbid I know what my g/f and family wanted to buy me for Christmas so I thought I might make a post on what I should purchase from people who I feel know a little more than I do about car audio. Turns out, I have had one suggestion that truly was the simple answer I was looking for.....and a couple dudes' unnecessary BS opinions that have absolutely positively nothing to do with what I posted. Thanks for the help guys...
