don't see an amp for the front speakers. Powerbass comps from millionbuy for $36 or coax's for $18. I've installed several sets.

Where in IL you located? I've got a 12w3 in a sealed enclosure you can have for cheap if you're local.

look on other websites like onlinecarstereo.com and woofersetc.com.

that HU you want is 163 on OCS.com, and a alpine type r 12 for 140, the type s subs are well under $100($65).

however crutchfield does have it's benefits, if you have no clue how to install the HU they give you instructions for free, they also give you a dash kit and wiring harness for free. but you can get a scoshe harness for like $10 at walmart. and can find he instructions online along with a dash kit. stilll prob end up cheaper not buyin from crutchfield.

oh, also look on sonicelectronix.com. do your research before you buy and get the best prices. it's amazing when you can spend the same amount of money hat someone else did and have system thats roughly 2-3times better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
