Audiobanh wasn't all that great of a company IMO. They're components, including woofers, speakers, etc were barely ok....

Stick with JL or even Kickers or mix them up MB Quarts makes an awesome speaker/tweeter combo.

Your fully entitled to your own opinion, but I set car alarms off.

^^^ I'm sure you do, at one point I was running audiobanh as well and they sure do THUMP! I was talking more about sound quality, crispiness, on point bass...

Thanks guys... After my last car, I definitly wanted something clean and simple that would allow me to use some of my trunk. I'm still thinking off adding a monitor or 2 on the trunk lid, I just have decided if I'm going to show this car yet.....

Umm, as far as cost goes... I had a buddy of mine do it so it was fairly cheap but he told me that if he were to do the same thing "on the clock" it would probably run $1800 just materials and labor. He said the *****est part was rewiring the factory amp into the processsor!! But besides my trunk i got all my door speakers replaced too, so i don't know if thats included in the price.

What do you mean rewire the factory amp to the processor? I'm trying to just add a amp and sub to my setup cause I already have ML, could anyone tell me what that involves?

its really really easy, you tap 2 wires, run a power cable from the battery to the amp, and a remote/on wire from a fuse to the amp. and the AMPs for our cars are in the trunk so the only long wires u really need are the turn-on wire and power wire. as long as ur comfortable with taking your interior apart a lil bit you'll be fine. its really easy to gut out our cars.

just installed two 12" subs and an amp myself a last weekend. I have a "entry level" setup since it was my very first time installing car audio. i will post pictures when i get home later

I bought a High and Low converter tapped into the speaker wire that goes to the stock subwoofer and connected mine. Took me thirty minutes to install it. Amp requires Grounding Wire/Remote Wire/ AV Cables/Power Wire. Really easy to do! Have had the same set up for more than two years. Not one problem knock on wood....
