Well I already have everything that I am getting picked out, just wanting some suggestions on what I should get first. I am going to be buying everything in small batches.

Heres my wish list I made on crutchfield.

Just wanted some suggestions on what I should pick up first. I was thinking the component speakers and the rear door speakers, or the 10" inch sub for the back window.


*EDIT* Car is a 99 ES 300, without nak sound system.

 

deck is fine here is a cheaper price dealt with the site before and he's good

As far as everything else I can help you I would probably not go with any of the components that you selected the prices on them and their quality is something that cannot be ignored. You can get better brands and better quality for cheaper. Let me help you a little.

These subs would be better than what you are looking at and cheaper. Just decide on size.

You need to figure out what kind of amp setup you want to go with 2 amps or one 5 channel amp. You get more versatility and choices going with 2 amps cause not many companies make 5 channel amps. This is a pretty long list but you should be able to get the idea that you are not limited to anything only to the amount of money that you want to spend. Search around and you will find items for cheaper than crutchfield.com anywhere. I use crutchfield for research but would not purchase anything through there I would rather save some money. If you have any other questions let me know.

 

I absolutely love my Kicker CVX10. It pump out alot of sound for its size. It can handle just as much power as a JL W6, which is saying alot because JL is no knock off. For about just over $400 you could get the same combo of a Kicker CVX10 in the Kicker spec box, and I use a TMA 250.1 which puts out plenty, but if you really want to knock out some brains I'd go for the TMA 500.1. Trust me these work great together.

 

I love my 15 inch si mag. Got it in a 3.5 ft^3 ported box @ 32hz and it gets pretty clean and loud.
stereo integrity just released a new version which is supposed to be geared towards sound quality. 250 shipped.

Check out this wiring diagram for the type of woofer you buy so you can match it up with an amp.

You have a 10" sub and a 12" sub listed on your wish list. Why? Are you planning on running them both? If so, not a good idea.

As mentioned earlier, you can do better than Infinity. Elemental Designs has been mentioned for subs but they also do speakers (a component set that will work as a coaxial set) and amps. All get very good reviews and they are backed with a 5 year warranty.

Other companies to look at:

• DIY Cable - Their Exodus Audio Shiva X is on sale for $135. 27mm of excursion and XBL^2 technology for $135! A few years ago specs like that were only available in $300+ subs.
• Dayton - Yes, Parts Express house brand. The RS series subs get GREAT reviews for their sound quality. Read some of them a DIY Mobile Audio forum.
• Creative Sound Solutions (Canada) - They sell a 10" XBL^2 enabled sub.
• Fi Car Audio - Former owner of Resonant Engineering. This is his internet brand.
• Ascendant Audio - Same owner as Fi but these subs are sold in brick and mortar stores.
• Sound Solutions Audio - New internet brand from the guys that own the forum of the same name. I'm pretty sure that Fi Car Audio builds the subs for SSA.
• Sundown Audio - Jacob is known for his amps but his subs are just as good.
• Cadence Audio - Quality amps at a very good price. They have some of last year's models that do 700w mono @ 2 ohms for $99 shipped from their online store. They are a forum favorite at DIYMA.

Like it was mentioned before Crutchfield is good for people who don't have any help. The only time I buy from them is when I need a head unit with wiring harness and mounting kit. By the time they throw those in for free, it is usually a good deal.

Just a quick heads up, I have not decided yet on whether I am going through Crutchfield or not, I just like the way the website is set up, and I am able to save all of my stuff, so that is the reason I used Crutchfield for this.

Also I am planning running 2 amps. Going with a dedicated amp for my sub, and a 5-channel for the rest of my speakers.

Thanks for all of the suggestions for other equipment as well, it was very helpful.

 

Why a five channel for speakers? The sub channel is meant to be used for interior speakers.
