[QUOTE="AcidicDreams, post: 2437567, member: 558974"] OK, will it sound good? yah probably ok... will it sound good compared to someone who took time to pick their components and looked for deals? NO... HU - Whatever you want. I suppose the clarion is ok but why not get an alpine or eclipse for less money and just use single DIN, the second space could be saved for a processor or EQ down the road. Speakers - Way to much for what you are getting. Ditch the rear speakers (search forum for "imaging", rear speakers are not required for STEREO signal, i.e. 2 channels, Left and right) A pair of rainbow germaniums is just shy of $500 IIRC and you only need one set. Amps - NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! You can get better amps. I'd even buy used and get Arc or Zapco before I bought Infinity amps. The JL/500 is an ok amp but the retail price is WAY too high per watt, especially for a sub amp. You can get 1000 clean watts for a sub in the $250 range that will do just fine.
