[QUOTE="jrdnhsnbrg, post: 8181498, member: 643734"] 1. Alpine makes some great head units, they are all over the place in the head unit classifieds on here. Look around on there. 2. Most of the time true audiophile systems actually completely remove the rear fill speakers. They really do not add much at all to your sound, especially if you're putting them behind a bench seat. I'd leave them out all together. 3. Once you hear a system with a subwoofer, you will never not have a subwoofer in your sound system. Without one it feels like you're missing roughly 20% of the song unless you have some amazing midbass drivers, sound-deadened doors, and a strong amplifier for them. Depending on how much space you have to work with under your back seat I'd definitely get a lowerish powered subwoofer, somewhere around 200-300W RMS and 8"-12" in size in a sealed box. Installing a subwoofer is a little bit of a task but if you're up for it, go for it! 4. Don't buy from Best Buy. Crutchfield.com and sonicelectronix.com are good websites to look for your basic setup materials, but most vendors on the forums have better equipment for competitive prices. If I'm missing anything, hopefully someone else chimes in and lets us know. If you need help with basic installation I will answer questions, but more advanced stuff is still beyond me. I'm still a little wet behind the ears with car audio myself [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
