With the help of my 2gn nggas, I went out and bought some audio stuff today.
I got a Alpine deck that plays CD's/mp3's/wma's/ipod ready. I also bout some 6.5" alpine front and some Alpine 6x9's for the back.
All together it came out to 540, but I talked him down to 450 with installation.

It sounds awesome, such clarity and defination. The only thing is I realized how much I need subs now
I might post pictures later If im not too lazy.

you should get some 3.5's for the dash

And if you get subs, go ahead and get an amp for the speakers too. That way its all powered and sounds good
other than that, sweet dude! good deal

I'm not sure what I want, I have always stuck with JL audio, and kind of don't want to steer in another direction, but JL's are so expensive.
What would u recommend, preferably two 12's

I just have a single JL12w0 in my car powered by a Pyramid 1000w amp. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. I bought the sub used from a friend for $50 and paid $80 (new) for the amp.

I just talked to nitehawk, and he gave me some good prices on some Niche subs, but I have never heard them.
And for around the same price, I can go JL again.

Audio Pipe Eye Candies, people say they blow easy, but if u have the right amp to push them they are by far the best beat for the buck...
theres a small series that i ran with a 2000 watt 2 channel amp about a year ago, and i hit 139 on the SPL meter with the small series, these are the ones im gettin next, they come in Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green...
