Ok, so i have about 3k to put into a new stereo. What brand of stereo is a good qulity sound stereo, and should I mix match brands?? or does it even matter?? what about amps help me out here guys this is NOT my department

Gotta be more specific man. What type of music do you listen to? Do you want it to be loud (SPL), or sound good (SQ)? Give us more details of wat you are lookin for and I'm sure you'll get several suggestions.

Well lets see here, Im an Alt rock, rap, r&b type guy. So sound quality and some thump.. NOT ALOT but some. I want good base so when I listin to my Korn or Stuff like that its got hella base, but when i turn to r&b i want good sound..... know what i mean??

We have the same musical tastes. I have Sony M-800 series CD player, Pioneer 4x6 in the front and Pioneer 6x9 in the rear, one 12" Alpine Type-R with a Cadence 300w amp and inside the car is a great sound. Only when you crank it do you barely hear it outside the car, and at that time, the sound begins to distort anyway. I changed the equalizer settings to get it to sound like that, but I love how it sounds. Just enough bass, just enough treble.

You can get a desireable sound out of many different setups by changing the equalizer on both the CD player and on the amp.

However, it is my experience that if you want "THUMP," go for the Kicker Solobaric square subs. I know I'm going to get blasted for suggesting this, but you can get the previous year's model brand new on eBay for way cheap.

im looking to do a one off custom box for the trunk, if I go to 15" subs, would that be way to much? I mean I guess im looking for looks as well as great sound.

Ok tell me what you guys think about this, just went looking around and figured I would mess around and piece an all alpine stereo together..

Tme-m770 6.5 inch monitor (custom dash mounted)
CDA-9853 CD head unit
SPS-4612 4x6's
SPS-69c3 6x9's
SWR-1042D Two 10" subs

which amps should I go with?? and what do you guys think??
Im new at this so dont tell me im stupid or what cause like I said I dont know what im doing lol

Thanks for the help

And then maybe a MRA-D550 amp...

Go with a set of 6 1/2 inch components up front. It'll sound way better than 4x6's.

Will they fit in the door??

definately, you just need some adaptors...check the mounting depth though, cuz if they're outragously deep then they will hit the window, but most speakers will, and adaptors can be made out of wood or w/e .. .i used 3/4 inch mdf and it worked fine

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

LOL

Just wanted to let you know that if you are still looking for an amp I can hook you up with a brand new memphis 1500D Digital Monoblock amp. As you can prolly tell by the name it is a 1500 watt amp and I can get it to you for under $600!! They retail for $1100 Just email me at brandons@automotiveinnovations.com and we can talk because I have a lot of stuff that I can get for a really good price, and it is all Legit
