He can actually get a pretty damn good system for $4000. I consider mine
to be pretty much over the top and I've only got about MAYBE $4000 in
it. All DEI Studio Components, Midbasses and Coaxials and tweets,
Directed amps (4 total) 2 Diamond TDX 12" subs, a buttload of Stinger
Expert Series (their current top-end) 0 and 4 AWG wiring and power
accessories and interconnects (for looks mainly).

That was all from a local dealer. Ebay and online prices can be even
better.

I think the first question is are you an experienced installer? If so, you
can save a LOT of money by doing it yourself. If not, it really is worth it
to have a shop install most of your equipment, as installation has a HUGE
effect on quality.

As for brands etc, I think you should listen to each first and make your own
decisions. But my choices would probably be something like this:

Head Unit, DVD player Kenwood
Front/Rear Speakers: Dynaudio, Focal, MB Quartz, or Crystal (being MUCH
cheaper)... whichever sounded best to me.

Subwoofer: 2 IDMAX 10" (since you have the fundage... this will put out
serious sounds)

Amps: Xtant is nice, also Pheonix Gold, JL Audio is making some nice ones as
well.. just so many out there, you should have a listen.

Dont skimp on wiring. Good luck, I am sure this was NO help.

Yes, like I said in my former post, if he doesn't know what hes doing, best
to hire someone who does... nothing is as worth as much as a good install...

That's if you can find a good installer. In NJ, I have not had great
success with this. Most are kids that barely know how to use a VOM,
and will probably make a copy of your address so they can steal your
stereo after they install it.

Flame away...
