I need help.

The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X592 head unit is an excellent unit, has a 24-bit DA converter which is almost unheard of in car stereos, has MP3, USB input (can use thumb drives instead of CDs), built-in iPod controls (control from the faceplate), and built-in crossovers for subs. At only $120, it's the steal of the century! Check it out at IkeSound.com , as well as other componenets. Alpine would be my personal next choice, but you will be spending more money to get what you do with the Kenwood.

For door speakers, run the largest ones you can, as high in the door as you can. The component systems have better clarity if you can squeeze it.

For a sub, run a behind the seat enclosure for something like an S10 or other small pickup. You will need an additional amp if you're going to run a sub(s), pick one that's rated for the sub itself.

Here's a pic of a truck sub box that goes behind the seat. Nice thing is you can always take it out if you need the space, and still listen to the stereo without it. Also, keep in mind, when you use a ported sub enclosure, your power demands are roughly half of a sealed box, making the amp less expensive. For example, a 10" sub rated for 300w cna run great in a ported box (or free-air) at 150w.
