Reccomend Me Some Component Speakers And A In Dash TV Head Unit
I haven't paid attention to car audio for about 10 years so I'm a bit out of the loop.
I've got a 93 Integra and I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in it (currently some pioneer speakers and tweeters). The components will be going in the same place, I know not ideal but I don't want to mess around with doing kick panels. I want something that sounds decent (more of an SQ guy) and I don't want to break the bank with the speakers either. Recommendations?
Also said speakers will be powered by an amp and not the head unit itself.
Head unit: I want a TV, be nice to have something with GPS too. Must have Bluetooth too so I can make calls and what not all nice and hands free while driving.
Also anyone know where I can mount/hide an amp for my sub? (it's an 1000w MA Audio, model number escapes me now). The sub is going to be in a custom box that will mount under/behind my rear strut bar.

Eclipse SP6500... http://www.eclipse-web.com/point/sp6910_6510.html
Alpine IVA-W205... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...-W205 or for $100 more the Alpine IVA-W505... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...-W505
Pioneer also makes some pretty good units... http://www.pioneerelectronics....00DVD
If you are on a tighter budget maybe the Panasonic CQ-VW100U... http://www2.panasonic.com/cons...05702
All the above are good quality dependable units.

Only thing I don't like is the fact that you can't remove the 'face'. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I took a listen to some Alpine Type S the other night at Best Buy, with an amp they were pretty nice. Needed a high pass filter though.

Huh? Those things should be good down to 80 hz or so.

Yes. Bad idea.

pioneer prs720 are really good for the money actually, those or the phoenix gold rds components, really good budget sets. As for the navi, w205 or w505 + blackbird2 = portable navi for other cars, dockable navi for your car, and bluetooth where ever you go. It's a bit pricey though, but street price, you can get it for less than on alpine's site.
