I should have gone with them in the first place. Infinity's don't compare in straight bumpin. That system is badass cuz everything fits for the price range and is the best you'll get for such a small amount.

I use the monitor and it never skipped and is way clearer than my flip down.

my only thing is, y spend for headrests when you won't for the trunk. If you do heads, you won't have enough for a monitor in the front (for yourself) and y do a nice tv setup and only have a basic box in the rear.

with my system, you got vid for yourself, and crazy clear speakers plus a bumpin bass machine...just lower the rear seats and turn em towards you...DAMN...and enough power for all speakers/subs.

work it baby

Pioneer's REV-Series Speakers are incredibly crisp, and they were definately built for higher frequencies.

Are DHD amps any good? That's cheap as hell! I'm going to move my Rockford 300s over to my Fronts (running off the head right now) and will need a new amp to drive a 12" Rockford sub (200W RMS). Would a DHD fit the bill or should I splurge for something higher end?

you can get any mid-highend speakers, just not components. they are usually $80 for the 6.5" and $70 for the 5.25"

just prices i looked up real quickly because I knew what i was looking for.
the sub box is basic, the P.T. subs i found on discountave.net, the P.T. headunit was the price I paid for mine, the amp I found on ebay...just searched for 6ch amps for your 2 subs and 4 speakers, and the speakers you can get at that price anywhere.

I personally have never had the amp, just the 12" subs. I got 2 of their 2000w 12s in my brothers taurus and they aren't the crispest subs in the world but the hit like a **** and you can't beat the price.

Are you guys for real with this Performance Tek ____? This stuff is Rockwood quality!

You know, Kenford... yes. thats true.

They aren't even worth the space they take up!!!

Quality, SPL, sound : price .... go with MA Audio, or Audiobahn or one of their varients..

Stay away from Sound Around's garbage... Pyramid, Legacy, Boss, Lanzar, Performance Tek, Volfenhag, American Pro...

This is all sub-par equipment, and should never have made its way on the market.

OR!!! Spend some cash, and buy some real equipment...

Like some Resonant Engineering (www.respl.com), Elemental Designs (www.edesignaudio.com), Stereo Integrity (www.stereointegrity.com), Adire Audio (www.adireaudio.com).... etc.

I guarantee dollar for dollar you'll still have better sound (and SPL) with anything I've listed.
