Need system advice - new to car audio

[xmike58x]

I just picked up my first car, a 1998 pontiac grand prix...

Im just looking to get a decent system in it, i know basically nothing about this stuff...

I work at best buy, so i ideally would like everything to come from bestbuy.ca for cost effectiveness.

My car audio department has stated that pioneer decks are the best we sell and to get jbl speakers... just wondering if you could toss me out some other solutions, and what kind of sub system i should get...

Im looking at the 7700 series pioneer deck i would also want an ipod unit because 85% of my music is on my pod...

I listen to mostly hardcore, punk kinda stuff.. and i'd like to be able to turn off my subs aswell...

if anyone could help me with feasable suggestions that would be great!

i believe its 2 4x6 in the front and 2 6x9 in the back!

thanks

Mike

imo, Alpine is the best for your money as far as decks go.

so clean with tons of features etc

as far as speakers go, get some good 6.5 components, arcs are nice, like $109 for the kars

Bump

right now, i think the set up will be the pioneer 7700 deck with ipod adapter, rockford fosgate 5.25" and 6x9s for sure... unless anyone can give me better soultions, as for amp and sub, i really have no idea... we carry JBL, Kenwood, Pioneer and RF... so if there are models by those companies that you can recomend than please do...

it will be a 1x12 ported cab set up...

PS i also heard of new pioneer decks coming out soon.. can anyone verify? and if so should i wait?

thanks
