What parts are you installing (brand/model of speakers is my biggest question)?
I would love to do a Focal K2P front comp set, and a Focal K2P sub (they have a 9, 11, 13 inch IIRC). Would cost ~$1000-1400 depending on the sub.
Head Unit: Kenwood DNX8120 (7" Touchscreen w/ Nav and Bluetooth)
Dash Speakers: JL Audio Evolution 3.5" Coaxial (Really the only 3.5" I could find!)
Front/Rear Doors: Diamond Audio 6.5" D6
Sub: Kicker Comp VR DVC 10"
LCDs: Alpine PKG-M780 - Dual 7" LCD w/ 2 wireless headphones and video switcher
Amps: Eclipse EA4100 (highs/mids) and XA1000
Cables/Wire: knukonceptz
It came down to Focal, Image Dynamics and Diamond Audio. Diamond just seemed to be the best for the price.
Next time around, check a company called Hertz. It is a high end spinoff of Audison. A local installer is a reseller of Audison and was sent some new Hertz products to demo. I ended up buying the Hertz HK165 3 way set, 1,3,6.5, with crossover. I put a 150x2rms amp on them.. They blow the Focal's I had out of the water, in both energy, clarity and responsiveness. Please dont believe me when I say I dont have subs in my car. (its a small z4 bmw).
