[QUOTE="vlad335, post: 2278964, member: 571396"] Greetings. I got almost everything for my install in a Chevy Venture Van. Working with a budget but wanted to get the best I could for the money I have. The install is set up for Tuesday. Here is what i have so far... Hu: Panasonic CQ-C8803U. Got this for $299 from Crutchfield. I wanted to spend the most money on HU and get a reliable warranty. Crutchfield's not cheap but they are awesome regarding customer service in my experience. (home theater) Amps and Sub: I bought a used oldschool Rockford Fosgate 55.2 and a used Profile 400watt mono amp for subwoofer. Paid about $100 from a local stereo shop for both. Plan to run the RF 55.2 in 2 ohms running four 6.5's, front and rear. For the sub I bought a 2-15" sealed box from Ebay ( Will be here tommorrow) and plan to use a couple 15" 8ohm Peavey Black Widow speakers I have already wired for 4 ohms. Speakers: I bought one set of pioneer coax 6.5 revs that I planned on putting up front. I can't afford another set of REV's right now and was thinking of getting a cheaper set of fairly smooth sounding warm 6.5's for the rear. OTOH... After reading this forum and others, I am thinking I should maybe go with 6.5 component speakers up front and stick the REV's in the back. Should I just get the installer to wire up the factory 6.5's in the front and wait till I get the money for a good component set? What would be a good component set for cheap? What do you guys think of my plans and the gear I put together? Sorry for the long winded post but I want to do the best thing for what I have so I'm bouncing this off you people in the forums.
