Alpine all the way

2 12" RF p2's - $320
Q-logic sub box - $170
1200 watt RF 2 ch amp - $500
Xplod speakers front and back - yuck ~ $200
Dual deck with 7" retractable screen - $450
Wiring ~ $40
Blue neons for box ~ $30
Pioneer 400wx4 speaker amp - free came with car :-D
Total ~ $1710 although I got the box amp and deck for xmas last year...divorced parents rule lol...

What I payed ~ $570

But the priciest thing about it would have to be the non existant trunk space...ouch

dude ditch the dual brand subs. Return them quickly! No offense. I use to sell them at best buy, people would bring them back blown all the time.

I run alpine front speakers, alpine backs, stock amp, alpine head unit, alpine ipod port, alpine cd changer, (non name brand AI-NET splitter), alpine sat tuner.

JL 500/1 amp. JL 10" sub. Whole setup cost some where around 700?

Ah my bad. It was 800 watts, not 1200... The sub has a max of 1200 watts... It was the older style of the MRP-M850.

I have a pair of those duals in the expedition...I think they are ok for only paying like 120 (open item discount) they havnt blown but they are not alpines...good for extremely modest users...its gotta be the flashy blue lights and the price that sells them...The first month or so that I had them I would have to crawl into the back to turn on the neons which sucked...So eventually I hooked up an old fog light switch under the steering wheel and tapped the power cord for the lights.

Girls like them when they ride...Guys not so much

*EDIT* Blackcrow I like the new sig

I havent messed with eclipse to know much about them. But JL is crap. I would never buy JL. I don't see how anyone that sells that shit can sleep at night. Its waaaaay overpriced. You can get much better for much cheaper. A 1000 watt amp is a thousand dollars....poop.

kicker amps a very nice and pretty cheap. Thats probably going to be the next amp I buy. My Orion is maxed out.

[vanilla gorilla]

Never messed with kicker amps. Give me the orion.

You have no idea how many people want me to give them that amp. Its a great amp no doubt but not powerful enough for what I need. I dont see me getting a new one anythime soon though.

Mine wasn't to horribly bad, so I steam cleaned the carpeting back there. The floor looks absolutely amazing. But, I mean if yours is beyond repair, Im sure you could find some decent carpet out of a parts care and steam that. If not I will look around and try to find a link to a place that sells it.

[gthompson97]

Take out the trunk carpet, spray it down with some Blue Max carpet cleaner from napa, take it to the car wash and wash the shit out of it, reinstall it and be on your merry way.

If it is really bad you can buy some universal carpet liner:

Looking into it they have molded carpet for the front for a fiar price...might have to invest in some.
