Crutchfield has a great interactive tool that helps you decide what models to get for your car. Take that information somewhere else to get a MUCH better price. What price range are you looking at? Dunno.

I would go to a local car audio place if you don't plan to do it yourself. But if you are going do it yourself I say order your stuff online(cardomain, ebay or crutchfield) you should be able to get your stuff for a decent price online. I

crutchfield may be more expensive, but they include the trim kit, wiring harness with the radio. I even got a free cordless drill when I purchased my HU from them.

Actually sometimes they are competitive if you use like pricegrabber.com and sometimes they pop up with decent prices. I even call them up and bug them with quetions and don't even order just tell them I am looking into it for "my birthday" in a few weeks. What's 4drgt have, he can't find any pics or sig links? The best part is I did all the work myself and it wasn't really that complicated or hard work. Go Big and Bad like this:

I've been swapping receivers in and out of the 4 cars at my house lately. Either broken, selling a vehicle or new one, or just upgrading.

If you want to shoot me an e-mail feel free. I am not the biggest expert on cars, but audio is. I am running two 12" DVC Inifinity Kappa Perfect subs (1600 watts peak ea, 400 RMS) powered by two Kenwood 9102D amps (one per sub). I am also running a 640W Kenwood amp which is powering all of my interior Infinity Kappa speakers (6x9s in the back, 5 1/4 in the front). I have the iPod interface and am running the Alpine 9855 deck. I also have the steering wheel interface so that I didn't lose those controls. It sounds nothing short of amazing. Highly recommended setup - but it is VERY loud. I also do have a full set of Rockford Fosgate Subs (HE2 Fast and the Furious Edition, 1000W ea, and a Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp that I only used for about six months before I upgraded to my current system. The amp even still has a Best Buy service plan on it for 3 more years. Let me know if you would be interested in that or if you want any help picking stuff out.
