[QUOTE="kross, post: 3300807, member: 577729"] Nothing wrong with that setup. If you get it, you'll have a good sounding system. If you buy everything online, you'll get decent prices. Here are some lower cost alternatives, though: For speakers, a lot of people will recommend running just a good set of components in the front, and don't put any speakers in the rear. You'll get better stereo imaging and staging. And with a good set of comps and amp, they'll make plenty of sound to fill the cabin. I'm a fan of Rainbow speakers. I think you'll like the Rainbow Powerline CMX Kicks. Very good midbass, and a great tweeter, crystal clear without being harsh. They can be had from the dealers on here for somewhere in the neighborhood of $330 shipped. If you absolutely must have rear speakers, the Rainbow SL 165 coaxials would be good. I like to keep with the same brand, so the speakers at least sound similar. For an amp, the Alpine PDX-4.150 is nice, but a little pricey. A Kicker zx650.4 would be a good choice. They can be had for about $370 new online, or if you want to save money, you can get a factory refurbished one for about $170 from hifisoundconnection.com. For a sub, a Kicker CompVR is a good relatively inexpensive sub, for about $80. The Alpine Type R isn't bad either. An RE Audio SE 10" would also be a good choice, for about $200. For a sub amp, again the Alpine PDX series are nice, but pricey. A Kicker zx750.1 or zx1000.1 (depending on your sub's power handling) are good choices, and can be had new for about $280 and $400, respectively. Or you get get a refurb for a lot less. That's about $750-$1300, depending on what you buy, which leaves some left over for a subwoofer enclosure, wiring and installation. [/QUOTE]
