I run a Pioneer 7700MP that does all of that and has front, rear, and sub outputs with a seprate sub control it also plays other formats and can use xm and sirriur satalite with the adaptor box. I think you can get them for like 150 on ebay brand new as they are last years model. I paid about 300 for mine from best buy when the first came out <-dumbass

I bought my Amp/Speakers from sonicelectronix and the only issue I had was the fact that I didnt kno I had to pay shipping from the US border to my house since I live in Canada. The shipping quote they gave me was only to the border. Other than that it was fast delivery, well package, and much cheaper than any of the places in my town. The only prob is, if you have any issue you have to ship it back to them which will cost you alil more. But hey the money I saved was well worth it and I've yet to have a problem with the amp or the speakers. The only item I linked there that didnt have a 1 year warranty was the JL Audio sub, everything else had 1 year either thru sonic electronix or thru the manufacturer. Shop around your town tho and see if any local shops have good prices, I kno my city has shit all for local shops so the prices are ridiculous, a Kicker KX350.2 Amp in my town was minimum of 300$...

ok thats kool... well i went to the alpine website and there is a cda-9857 and a cda-9856 they look the same but the cda-9857 ha more features to it such as 1 bit sound tech. and a remote. From what i seen they put off the same amount of power. Is it worth shelling out $170 for the extra features 1 bit and biolight display???

It all depends on what you want in your system, check through all the specs and if the more expensive one has hardly any extra features then really why shell out 170$. Those prices will be high though, thats the recommended price, which is usually above what local shops will sell em for.

Well yea i would like to get the CDA-9857 it has alot more functions than the lower model... But it all just depends on the money situation and what else i plan to buy... So im gunna just say for right now i will get the CDA-9856 the lower model...

So i picked out the HU now i need to pick out a pair of subs and an amp right??? what do you guys suggest??? I saw the good,bad, and ugly list like a 100 times...
Or speakers?
Like you said i should plan all of it out before i buy anything...

I like my elevation comp 10" subs.. they also come in 12"s. Another nice sub is the JL W1 series.. i ran a single 13" w1v2 and i loved it! RE audio is said to be great too. If you don't want to go with an undergroundish/lesser known brand, i've always liked alpine type r's, and they get plenty loud.

well its not that i dont want to go with an underground brand I just want to hear something before i buy it... Do you blame me??? So yea how much do 12'' w1v2 and type r's cost??? and any other suggestions??? If you could leave a price with it to this would be very helpful...

Thx, Robby

you can get type-r's online for like $100-$150.. Best Buy has them for $200+. W1v2's shoud be around $120 for 12's from a dealer.
