ok, so since you know what you're talking about, what would YOU get. Within reason.

My preffered brand is Infinity, not sure why, but it just is. What fronts and deck would YOU get if you were me?

How much will that cost though? The OP is trying to stay within reason here.

You guys are so damn negative. Okay, he bought a lower end CD Player. But he already said he's not trying to blow out peoples ear drums, he just wants something that sounds okay. Why give him so much shit? If it's not "YOU HAVE CHEAP SHIT BUD" - it's "YOU SOUD LIKE AN ASS". And what's with "I love this mixing and match" ? -> Alpine 100D Dvd player -> Rockford TDB1001 -> JL 2x13.5W6, DHD 1200W->4 Alpine 6x9's. My setup sounds pretty decent, if I do say so myself.. and EVERYTHING has been mix-matched.

Let's see your trunk. The guy just wants his shit installed right, the first time. I don't blame him. The only question I ask, is this:

If you want it installed right, why not go to any of the 100 car audio shops in Chesapeake? GO-HO Audio is a good one.. I know the guy in Norfolk off Military Highway... I forget his name. Matt's a cool guy there, too. East Little Creek Road, I think?

Go to a shop. Pay for it. Just buy your wiring before you go. They're going to make enough off installing it - try to keep it down by buying the installation wires yourself. But I wouldn't trust any anyone off here. They think because they wired up their home stereo it's the same. Take it to a professional if you don't know how to do it yourself, bro.

i hate when people say "im not trying to roll down the street....blah...blah....blah. the nice systems ($6000 +) i install are mostely for older people that actually appreciate good sound. they dont try to impress people at stop lights and shit. thats for the cheap people. truth is that if you had the best sounding system in the world and you blasted your shit all the time maybe 1 out of 100 people would actually realize that you got good shit. i just hate when people say that shit.
oh and check out the system i just finished

WOW! Someone on here that doesnt post like a five year old.

Thanks bro.

After all this bullshit, Im just going to take it to a shop. Not sure which one yet, but probably Discount Auto Sound, only because I know the Owner and he wont let them fuck my shit up.

If I had $6000 to blow on a car stereo that would be wonderful, BUT I don't.

It's amazing how you can come on this website trying to pay someone good money to do a good job and all you get is bullshit posts from old men with nothing better to do with their time.

The thing is.. you're overestimating the price of good equipment. You buy infinity and polk at ridiculous prices when there are way better products for the prices you're buying them at.

Lol at us being old men.
