[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8873004, member: 689267"] So it looks like you have up to 2.75" openings in the dash, 6"x9" openings in the front doors and up to 6.75" in the rear doors. Since you're going to go DSP, then a nice set of 2-way 6x9 comp's up front, coaxials in the rear, lots of options there. I kind of jumped the gun a bit, should probably establish some other things too. You will find that many in the forums are purist when it comes to soundstage and will advocate for no rear and only fronts. I like and many prefer some rear fill, I advise to the customers need, not personal preference. Deadening: Resonix is the best, but it's pretty expensive. If you're going to have a shop do this, they will likely only apply what they sell. On your own a couple of days work, I would figure about $250 to $400 for cabin and door treatments. I highly recommend you figure out if you can do this part, it's time consuming and you could lay down a couple of hundred dollars worth yourself and save a good $5 - $700 in labor alone as it is very time intensive. Using a $80-$100 an hour labor rate is pretty standard and that cabin will take the better part of a days labor (4-6 hours minimum) to do it right. Deadening Is critical to both sound quality and volume. To be specific, a 50 x 4 watt system in a cabin that has the noise level reduced by 9 db through treatments would take a 400 x 4 watt system to play as loud in the same cabin without it. Do you currently have A/V fingertip functionality in the steering wheel that you want to keep? Is it the OEM 7" or 8" HU or is it an aftermarket unit? [/QUOTE]
