welcome to the life of a G rider.
i like kenwood excelon decks. imo they are the best for your money. but you can't go wrong with a pioneer or alpine deck.

as far as speakers go i like polks and bostons. infinitys are nice also, but i don't think they're the best for your $.

subs-i have 3 mtx blue thunder 10s. if i had to do it over i would've got 1 good 10 or 1 good 12. i listen to techno also (gigi d'agostino (sp?) is my newest purchase, and it's a very very good cd, i'd recommend it if you don't have it already). anyway for techno you don't need something extreme, like you would with rap. i like mtx, xtant, some bostons, and if you want to go all out eclipse (they're the best that i know of, but very expensive).

you should go to a circuit city or soundtrack and check out what they have. most of the salesmen (that i've encountered) also listen to dance music so they'll show you something good for your needs. also shop around, and keep an eye out for sales. might want to check out e-bay also, if you can put it in yourself.
