[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5861589, member: 601690"] I would highly recommend buying local vs online, unless you are 100% comfortable with dealing with the issues of buying stuff online. I usually only buy stuff like wire or other small accessories online. I would never buy a higher priced item online unless I knew exactly who I was buying from and was certain they were factory authorized. Not many are. As for brands, Pioneer and Alpine are still the most popular brands of head units. As for speakers and amps, there are so many to choose from that it would make you head spin. Stick with a brand you are familiar and comfortable with. A single 12in sub with about 500W should wang pretty good in a vented box. Add in some front comps and a 100 x 2 amp and it should sound pretty good. It won't be ready for competitions or get much notice, but that is probably a good thing for his first system. [/QUOTE]
