[QUOTE="justind, post: 2805210, member: 575317"] Hello all. Great Forum. I have spent alot of time searching. I also went to a installer yesterday and here is what we are thinking for my system. QSC210 4" Q Series Components with tweets. (4s inthe dash and tweets on the pillar) QSC164 6" Q Series Midbass add ons for the front doors MB QUART 6x9 Coax for the two deck lid speakers. 1 10" 4 OHM 300W Sub in a custom enclosure for the trunk The shop wants to use a ALpine PDX-4.150 4 channel to power the tweeters, dash speakers, door speakers, and sub. They want to power the rear deck speakers from the head unit. I have a dilema as far as what to use for a head unit. I have heard the Avic D3 and it sounds great. The shop is pushing the Kenwwod DDX8019 with the add on Nav. The only advantage of that unit I see is that it has has 5v preamp outputs vs the Avic's 2.4v. I know there is some debate on what difference that makes. My main concern is quality of sound. But after that, i really do like the D3 better as it comes with exactly what I need and my price will be about 1,000 cheaper. My main questions are: 1) Is it worth the extra money for the DDX8019? 2) Is it a good idea to power the deck lid speakers with the head unit or is it worth the cost of a second amp? 3) I am really trying to get the price down fopr the overall ystem. The amp alone is close to $640. Is that amp overkill for what I need? 4) Do you have any othr coments or recomendations overall? Thanks for the help fellas. [/QUOTE]
