do u think if i got those new infinity kappas that would sound really good?

Yeah, you could compete with a "stock location" system. Of course, your competitors will most likely win
If you want to get an idea what the Infinitys sound like, goto a car audio shop that has them and ask for a in-car demo. Simple as that.

i am just sick of spending my money on junk, get me setup good guys so that I can get people to turn there heads and hear the extreme clarity coming from my regal and slammin bass
2 ways
1. Learn about audio acoustics, electronics and components through experience and talking to others and design your own system
or
2. Pay someone to design a system for you
AND
I don't know if its JUST ME, but it seems like Audiwizard, GNandTTA, FlynGN and numerous others, including me have gone over several aspects of what components are of good quality, where to get them for cheap, how to install them, where to locate speakers for optimum sound imaging and quality????
Have you READ any of our replies? I'm starting to wonder.

GEEZ MAN, you need to calm down (PLEASE!) & chill with the constant peppering of everyone with the same couple of questions. Save up your questions for one post at a time & TRY to actually pay attention to what people are posting.
Here is the lowdown on my system:
Pioneer DEH-P430 CD player, 50 watts x 4 (very clean power & nice features for the money)
Pioneer 3 1/2"s in the dash (I forget the model #)
Cerwin Vega Stealth Series 5 1/4"s in the doors
Cerwin Vega Stealth Series 6x9"s in the rear deck
Earthquake bandpass box / amp (150 watts mono) / 10" sub combo on the rear trunk shelf
Future plans:
Custom built sub box on the trunk's rear shelf (Cerwin Vega most likely) powered by either a home built tube (I like to tinker) or HiFonics amp (best budget amp out there IMO)
Trunk carpet kit w/ spots built-in to house an amp, electronic crossover unit & cd changer
custom pods for the spot under the 1/4 window for a 6 1/2" or 8" driver (ala mcss383's install)
Fosgate 3 1/2" midbass in the dash & some sort of tweeter seperate on the a-pillar or door panel

Eclipse 2 ways...Stock Door's, Alpine 3 way 6X9's in the back...not satisfied at all! Sounds ok, maybe if I replace the door's it might sound better. Like to put one 10 or so in the trunk but I'm concentrating on the motor right now.

audiowizard how many db does ur system hit? Is it usually cooler to have all the same brand stuff if u do up a system?

It was metered at a little over 135 db before I tweaked it out. Next year I am rebuilding system with 4 10" subs and more power. The trunk is going to be formed and painted fiberglass with plexi-glass and motorization.
As a personal choice I like matching equipment for aesthetic purposes especially when my trunk receives alot of attention at car shows
.My setup -
Head unit - Pioneer #? 50w x 4
Stock 3.5's in dash(soon to be replaced w/ 1" tweeters)
Polk 5-1/4" in doors
Infinity Kappa 693.1i 6x9's in rear; 3-ways
RF XLC 10" sub in home built sealed box, measuring .75 cubic feet.
MTX Thunder 240 (200 watts)

I talked to my buddy who is into alot of bass and he told me this is what he has in his truck, 3.5 infinity and 6 by 9 infinity, 2 audiobahn alum12's. Withh 425 going to each sub. He has a jeep and he has 1,200 watt amp going to 2 jl w3 12's. He says the jl's are alot better they hit much harder and sound clearer he says but hes like dont get me wrong the audiobahns are good.

it seems the infinity's are the best 3.5's i have come by and that is my major weekness. Mine crackle when I turn it up loud. I have looked online for days and those new kappas seem best for the 3.5 opening. You think the best place to get the 4 by 10 wire thing in the back is at a junkyard? I need to find since i threw mine away and get 6 by 9 adaptor so mine are sitting on the ground in the trunk. I plan on getting another punch he sub 10 and then getting a 800.2 fosgate amp and then get the kappa 3.5 in front and kappa 6 by 9's u think that system would be pretty sweet
