Time to rebuild stereo system...
It's not going to be to the extreme that my old system was, but I plan on spending about 2 thousand on it...I plan on getting a real good head unit again, an amp and some subs...nothing close to what I had, but enough to enjoy some music.
Any suggestions on head units, subs, amps?

I recommended Eclipse earlier today on another post. They have some really cool stuff, innovative too! Check out http://www.eclipse-web.com. As far as amps go, Precision Power still rock!

I had two PPI's in my car when I got stolen...along with a 600watt Xtant amp...I really like the Xtant, but not sure what I'm getting when it comes to the subs and amps...
I have narrowed down the CD player to 3 choices though....may spend a bit more on the CD player and less on the amp and subs...not sure yet...I've kept the cost for a CD player around 500.00 bucks, might spend a little more for something better. |

I dont know about you, but I am a fan of simply designed, high quality head units. So I would check out Nakamichi and Dennon. Eclipse, Clarion, and Alpine have some awesome recievers as well.
I have an Alpine amp in the 850, just because thats what came with the car from the factory. So I really dont have much experience as far as amps go. I have heard good things about JBL though.

There are many ways to go depending on set up and what you type of sound you want. Here is one
JL subs - very good
Boston Acoustic Components - can handle a lot of power. I have 500+ watts(Alpine Amps not Pryamid or Majestic crap) going to each component. They are a little harsh sounding but very very loud. To help get a better sound use audio control equilizers. I haven't seen many cars that sound better with this set up without spending a fortune.
Amps--??? so many choices and possiblities. I have always wanted to try pheonix gold or PPI

If you are stuck for amps, here's what I would recommend looking at:
JL Audio: Slash series (e.g. 300/4) or the new e Series
a/d/s
Eclipse
Alpine
Precision Power
Orion
Soundstream
Xtant
Arc Audio (sounds good, expensive as hell)
Brax
Zapco
Phoenix Gold
Rockford Fosgate (Power Series, Not Punch)

I just went with a 6500D MTX amp and 2 MTX 8000 12" subs and it hits nice and solid. I love it!
