OK I'm goin to get this set up, and i want to know what you guys think, I really dont want to spend the big money for professional equipment, not even ganna drag it or put it in comp, just want a kick *** system... heres the list

Zapco AG1000 for the subs
Zapco AG360 for the mids/highs
JLAudio 12W3 12's, three of them
JLAudio XR525-CS 5.25 comp set, highs, in kick panels
JLAudio XR650-CW 6.5 mid's, doors

And for the head unit I can't decied on which of these:
Panasonic CYVMD9000U 7inch indash, cd/dvd player
Pioneer AVXP7300DVD 7inch indash, cd/dvd player
KVT-910DVD 6.5inch indash, cd/dvd player with touch screen

 

jl and zapco are both very good product, i would use it in my car. as far as the monitors go, the panasonic is nice, the pioneer is probably the best, but is not as user friendly and will cost you an arm and a leg to do everything that the kenwood does. so, i would go with the kenwood based on the fact that it comes with everything you need to install it and is more user friendly(install and operation)

 

I'd get 3 JL 12W6's.

and JL XR-650CSi componets for front staging. i wouldn't do kick panels either.

 

The Zapco amps are big money! But this system will definitely kick butt and weigh a ton, too! It will also drain the crap out of your electrical system. If you're willing to go all out, look into getting your alternator upgraded to handle these new power drains.

 

first of all, what kind if car is this, because i have 3 8" JL-8W6's in my civic coupe. For that size car 2 10" JL's would be plenty!!! At times my 3 8's are a little 2 loud for a non competition stereo. The whole point of bass in a non competion system should be to fill in where the other speakers leave off. Thats just my opinion, because remember if your system is too loud and a thief is near buy, guess whos car just became suspect #1. So if you can try and hide your system the best that you can..........

here is a picture of my 3 8's
