Well, with Jonathans input I think its safe to say that Boston is a solid choice, Good! I've always been partial to them but I acuired a new set of MBQ PWE60 (just the mids & x-overs) so I started hearing stuff about them and IT GOT ME SOOO CONFUSED!!! so thanx all for helping me unwind my mind. UM now could some one point me in the right direction to where I can ask for some help in setting a price on some equipment that I have little knowledge of but need to sell, my wife is threatning devorce if she doesnt get her car space back soon.

"mb quart is a great speaker....myself i prefer boston but thats just me."

I second that, and now that you mentioned those, the new Pros and Zs are excellent sets for stock door spots and the axis mount for the tweeters would make them really easy for him to set up. I've been considering the Zs myself, among many others.

Always nice to know.
again :) hey bro you ain't the only one that felt like an ignorant newbie after reading through the faq's. I'm on my second pass at reading through the faq's and still only at about a 25% comprehension level!! lol

mb quart is a great speaker....myself i prefer boston but thats just me...quart makes some top line speaker sets but they are a bit pricey for what you get....we have a set that ran 7 bills sitting on a shelf collecting dust that are going to be replaced with speakers that cost half as much.....definitely give everything a good listen first preferably in a vehicle as i can make anything shine on a board....

Audio express... h-h-h-h-h-home of the $1 crapstall. I hate those guys, I've seen some of their work. Looked like they spent about 3 minutes on an HU install...oh wait they did. :) Bottom line is you get what you pay for

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm........ disregard everything on my last post after "Thanx everybody". I just finished FAQ, got my answers, boy is my face red. Soooo... thats why you have that's why the first thing I saw when I first signed up was "STOP, before you post read FAQ's first". Thanx for all your tolorance with this ignorant newbie.

Thanx everybody I will get on it, one last thing, I want to at least start running cable today. Given the general paramiters of what I am looking at, what guage wire should I run? My plan was to run 4 Gage into a dist. block then 8 from there, also do you think I will need to set up for a capasitor? I know to separate power from RCA's is there anything else I should consider? I recently bought and salvaged 2 car audio display rooms so I have options from 0 to 18 guage all monster cable as well as 2 ch to 6 ch IMXLN RCA's and spkr wire. My truck is gutted so I have a blank slate to work with. thanx again, I'm off to FAQ to continue my education. =)

I agree with everyone above, take your time and do it right.

Like Jonathan said, you can use all quality equiment, but in the end the installation will determine if you have a "quality system".... Go ahead, write that down. :bigwink:

Like anothers have said many times before, its all in the install.

and http://www.the12volt.com has a books section that's priceless for good reference books on car audio nd security, as well as basic electronics.
