What do you guys think? I dont know anything about speakers and stuff, if there is anything you guys would change if it was your system please tell me!

Well, first off, you might want to check the size of the holes for the rear speakers. Usually you will want to put 6x9's in there (mine were pre-cut for 4x10's). That sub will pound pretty hard, but if you want a crisper/sharper thump, look into getting a sealed box enclosure. Are you going to throw an amp in there?

There is one 6X9 hole under the package tray, and 2 4X somethings. The way to get around cutting, us to drill mounting holes on the edges of the two 4X's and mount your speakers from the trunk area, and not try to fit them from on top. In other words, let them hang instead of sit. That's how I did mine last week, and it looks and sounds good.

good idea soaring.. I wish I did my own installation instead of having the pro's do it. Oh well, live and learn.

If I were you, EmperorOfChicken, I would go to a place that does professional installation. You can have them figure out everything, from the subs to speakers to amps. Just take their quote and go buy your own stuff from there.

I have 4 speakers and 2 subs. I got my kickpanel speaker holders from www.kanterperformance.com but I will probably make my own sooner or later, as I want them to point at me instead across the floor.
