[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8693278, member: 678581"] Itemized estimate is a good start. Problem with "Brands" is that hearing is subjective. What sounds good to one person may not sound good to someone else. Your car also comes with 6 speakers - 2 Dash, 2 Front door and 2 rear door. Are you only replacing the door speakers and leaving the stock dash speakers? If you replace your HU you could run dash off of the HU and door speakers from the Amp. Also AVH2500NEX and GMD9705 are only $500 of the cost. My personal preference on "Mid-range" mids would be JBL/Alpine/Infinity. Spending ~$100 a pair. You might go down to your local Best Buy or down to a car audio place where you can listen to the differences. If I were building a "Cookie Cutter" system for your car (using the HU/Amp you've listed) and having someone else install it, it would look something like this: HU: Pioneer AVH-2500NEX ($300) Dash Speakers: Sundown SA-2.75FR (Run off of HU) ($55) Front Speakers: Infinity Primus PR6510CS ($90) Rear Speakers: Infinity Primus PR6510CS ($90) Mid/Sub Amp: Pioneer GM-D9705 ($200) Subwoofer - Dayton Audio Ultimax UM12-22 at 2 Ohms ($200) Sub Box - Have installer build you a custom 3/4 MDF box for the Dayton sub (if he's as good as the reviews say this should be a piece of cake for him) You just spent $935 leaving $1065 for the custom box build and install. Should be plenty of headroom there for the installer. There are plenty people here who will probably **** on this build but for your average "Non-Audiophile" no DSP, no active crossover etc etc. It would be more than enough for your average system and would blow most Best Buy installs away. (With proper installation and correct enclosure built for the Dayton) [/QUOTE]
