remember things in the AU cost more, too so figure .au to .us cut the amount in half and go by US prices.
so say 400 bucks

he won't get much

Thats what the internet is for. Everything cost the same no matter were you live. The only problem is shipping, that could be the deal breaker. But no sales tax makes up for most of that.

thx alot but whats a pioneer 4800 and stuff :P
and plus i could probably get those stuff in australia anyway :P

A pioneer 4800 is an HU.I dunno about that model. But if you go with pioneer, stick with the primeir stuff. I don't think you could find RE in Aus tho. Pio, and Kicker I could say ya. But no RE. I dunno if they even ship to AUS or what they do but...http://www.reaudio.com. Call em and see what they could do for ya.

Were you goin for the internet? Or are you gonna be buying localy?

well im going to buy it locally and yea the speakers in the car are all stock right now. so a Pioneer 4800 is the head unit and the kicker is an amp? and the RE SE 12" is a sub? or what :S cause im new to this stereo thing :P

Whats the difference in amp? like 4 channel and 3 channels and stuff?

You should really read the FAQ's, Guides and Information section. You will find most if not all you answers. There are alot of smart and experienced people here that put alot of time into writing those guides.

A head unit is your car stereo. I would upgrade this first but then again I'm no expert.

A amplifer provides power to your speakers and/or your subwoofer. 1 channel is for 1 subwoofer. 2 channels is for a set of speakers or can be bridged into 1 channel for a subwoofer. 3 channels is for a set of speakers and a subwoofer. 4 channels can be played around with a bit such as 2 sets of speakers or a combination of speaker + sub. 5 channels is for 2 sets of speakers + a subwoofer.

A component speaker set is one with the speaker and a seperate set of crossovers. These sound best.

A coaxial speaker set is a speaker with the tweeter attached onto the main speaker.

A subwoofer is the big speaker in the back that provides bass. Its what gives you the thump thump thump.

You'll learn eventualyl, I was in your shoes like 2 months back, just keep reading, it gets really confusing and stuff, just talk to your local shop and the ywill help also.

stick with the primeir stuff

the premier stuff is almost exactly the same as the pioneer stuff and the pioneer hu's arnt bad at all.

what do u mean by premier stuff? do i ask the local shop for pioneer premier?

you can only get piooner premier from an authorized dealer so yes. the premier line usually has a couple more features over the pioneer. example look at the pioneer 8600mp and the 860 mp there exactly the same but the 860 is the premier and has a few more features.
