Hey buddy well I dont really have one buy i know which one i will be getting, in 2 month, i need to save up. I WILL BE GETTING ALPINE TYPE X - this set 2X ALPINE SWX-1243D, MRP-M2000, PDX-F6, 2X SPX17PRO | eBay
But alot of my mates think spending that much money on a sound system is stupid, so MOST of them went for ALPINE TYPE R basically there really good aswell, 2 12inch subs in your boot, even ONE will be good but yeah. alltogether with amps and everything ,installing for type r your looking around 2grand without changing headunit. If ur not happy with the stock head unit performance then you could always purchase this,
ALPINE PXE-H650 IMPRINT Head Unit - VE VY VZ BA BF FG | eBay - it acts like an aftermarket headunit but you dont have to literally purcahse one becaue they look uguly..

GOOD LUCK MATE.

it will be the stock head unit with an audioson BIT 1 amped rca converter (this is completely tunable and therefor negates the need for high loss LOC's

2 x Rockford Fosgate T1 subs
1 x Rockford Fosgate Power series 4 channel Amp
1 x Rockford Fosgate Power series monoblock
1 x 2 farad Rockford Fosgate capacitor
1 x Yellow top battery
1 alarm upgrade
dynamat
custom box
custom boot install

Yes i have listened to TYPE X and buddy your completely correct. Type Rs are LOUDER and CLEARER then type x but if you make a good box , type x shits on them. MY mate with his 2 type Rs is gettign 151DB because of special custom box, thats why im going type x

Hmm interesting, I dunno if its just me but a lot of people have talked focal up but have yet to hear them, if you dont mind much did the 6.5" spilts set you back? In time I'm going to upgrade the sound of my car but I'm only after something that sounds good in house without being heard from a 1km away :) so I'm not after anything that's going to be earth shattering. Suggestions? thought about the type R's front and back with a 12 sub to carry the sound..

the box with the sub was a pre fab box i mad sides on it to mount the amps beside it. next is a custom install will be small sub boxes about .8 cuft sealed. as for the m12 the guys at northfield told me it will work n pump hard... unless they r just trying to sell me the expensive amp that wont cut it??? any thoughts on running 2 swr122d on a m12 amp
