[QUOTE="nsd9042, post: 7446348, member: 635558"] Thanks for the reply guys. My budget is less than 300 and I would prefer it to be around 200. I know this is low but since I get good employee discounts I get good deals. I do not listen to real loud music (probably will be below 50% max volume 90% of the time) and neither do I need a lot of bass. I want to replace my factory audio system so that I get better quality audio. Like I would like to hear crisp and clear audio, like if you listed to jazz. So I definitely don't want a sub in there. Also this is my first install so I don't want to spend too much money on it. Here is a list of parts I am considering. Head Unit Kenwood KDC-BT948HD (not sure if i want the HD radio, still debating about that) KDC-BT848U Sony DSX-S100 DSX-S200X (love the tune tray idea but since most pros say sony ***** i might stay away) Pioneer as well, havent had a look at the deals yet. Front Speakers, 6.5" Kenwood KFC-P709PS KFC-1693PS KFC-1662S Sony XS-GT1627A Kicker 11DS65 11DS652 11KS65 11KS652 Polk Audio DXi6500 DXi650 Infinity KAPPA62.9I KAPPA63.9I REF6032CF REF6032SI KAPPA60.9CS REF6030CS (these are a bit expensive, unless someone says i really need it I will not go for this) JBL GTO628 GTO638 P662 P662S GTO608C (again, real expensive) P660C (expensive as well, would like to stay away) Rear Speakers 6x9" Kenwood KFC-6993PS KFC-6983PS Sony XS-GT6937A Kicker 11DS693 11KS69 11KS693 Polk Audio DXi690 Infinity KAPPA692.9I KAPPA693.9I REF9632CF JBL GTO928 GTO938 I would really like to not put an amplifier in unless you think its really necessary for my application. Main reason behind this is with most of the items I listed above I can achieve my budget, but adding an amplifier will completely blow it because they are so expensive in comparison. Also I am looking to leave in the original wiring, but if I add an amplifier its best to install a heavier gauge wire, and also the install gets more complicated. However if its absolutely necessary I will consider it. I know its a long reply, but if any of you have used any of these and think they are good please let me know. Thanks again!! [/QUOTE]
