New System on budget- What do you think?

[jlgern]

I recently got a 2009 Mini Cooper S and the OEM stereo was horrible. If you have ever seen the dash in a mini you know that it is near impossible to use an after market headunit and still keep any functionality of the built in computer system. In addition space is at a huge premium because of the cars size.

I tried to work within those guidelines. I just finished having it upgraded. I did it on a pretty tight budget. Let me know what you think:

Kenwood KOS A-300 to upgrade factory radio for Satellite, Ipod, etc. $79

Front speakers- Cadence Acoustics ZRS55KS 5.25-Inch 120 Watt Peak Low Profile 2- Way Speaker Component Kit $85

Rear Speakers- Cadence Acoustics FXS6934i 6x9-Inch 220 Watt Peak 3-way

Speaker System $79

Both driven by an Arc Audio 4100SE 4 Channel 430 Watt Amplifier

$200 (purchased floor model with warranty)

Subwoofer- Memphis Power Reference 15-PR10S4V2 Enclosed $195

Sub Driven by a Cadence Acoustics Xa125.2B 500 Watt Peak 2-Channel Class AB Amplifier $119

All RCA, speaker wire, splitters, sound processor and labor $795

Total for install equipment and install $1550.00
