Man I'm not sure those shops were wrong, I can't find any dash kits for the SC.

Spending $300 on rear speakers is a waste IMO, at least with a tighter budget. If you have money left over after everything else I guess if you really want them spend the money, but with the rears faded down what's the point of having $300 coaxials in the back?

McIntosh would pwn. Never heard an all-Mc system though, just bits and pieces.

So, so far we've got: Alpine 9885 - $250 PG Ti6 Come Elite (Morel Elate) - $300 What rear speakers you gonna run? Just need some cheap coaxes to fade down. Looked at any amps yet? A few you might wanna check out for the Morels: Autotek MM 100.4 (300w x 2 @4ohm) Kicker 06ZX650.4 (325w x 2)...

Explanation of what "ported" refers to: http://www.diysubwoofers.org/prt/

Looked it up for you, the 9885 has . That's good, was hoping it wouldn't be 2v cause that would be funny, never seen anyone pair up nice ass Morels on a 2v preout.

LMAO there is more than a few things I see in that list that need to be changed, if that is where your car audio knowledge comes from, well, I rest my case. What you failed to realized since you all did was copy and paste the "Competition" gear from that list is that you can't group all of...

Two-way, not two component. Are the preouts on the Alpine 2v or 4v? If you're getting the Morels for the front I doubt you can get away with just one amp. They really like and can take a lot of power, and it'll be hard to find a four-channel amp that'll power them and the sub that won't be very...

borris, I'm not even gonna bother. The simple fact that you listed Alpine F1 Status and Cerwin Vega's Stroker in the same list is enough for anyone somewhat informed to know you don't know the first thing you're talking about when it comes to car audio. The Phoenix Gold's I linked you to are...

Haha shit the guy I mentioned was the owner and they've been in business there for like 20+ years. Have you heard something like an IDMAX or JL's W6? It kind of surprises me someone would call an L5/L7 a clear sounding sub. Quality brand name....brand name comes down to marketing, like how...

lol don't let it surprise you man, that's typical of most people in car audio shops, and not just the younger employees. One guy tried convincing my friend that Memphis was the best gear out and it was revolutionary and had amazing SQ, etc. Memphis isn't bad but he was talking it up like it was...

So you want a pair of subs than? If we're not going with SPL you might be better off spending money on say a single 12" instead of two lower-end 10's. It all depends on the budget I guess. I'll be back on tomorrow to drop in. You gonna stop by a shop and listen to some speakers Any...

Focal does make very nice high-end gear, but they are also known for their harsh tweeters, which is mostly install-dependent, but since OP is having a local shop install the gear I know they won't bother spending a couple dozen hours finding the perfect install location for the tweets and than...

Alright, just check that out later. It'll save you a bit of money if you don't have to run a new spool of speaker wiring. Any preferences as far as number of subs and sizes? How many inches of clearance do you have from trunk floor to the rear deck/speakers, i.e. how tall of a box can we fit in...

lol yea Nakamichi probably. That doesn't clue me in to the size of the wiring though. You don't know any Lexus forums that would have that info in a sticky maybe? Since the shop is doing all this you might as well buy a spool of wiring for them to run through the car, better safe than sorry. As...
