I am in a littler predicament here, I will be installing a new system in either a 2004 F150regular cab (it has the extra room behind the seat) or my 87 El Camino. I will be upgrading the battery and alternator and putting in Hush Matt also. I have been doing some serious research and have narrowed it down to three brands. Let me also say that I am trying to go with the same equipment subs, amps,comps, processor and head unit(if possible). I know this may sound stupid but to me it isn't. So here's what I have gotten so far.
Head unit is the same for all set ups.
Alpine iDA-X100 and the processor will either be a Alpine PXE-H650 or a Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2.
First set up:Alpine
Subs - SWX-1043d (2)
Sub Amp - PDX-1.1000
Comps - SPX 17pro
Comps Amp - PDX-2.150
Second set up:Rockford Fosgate
Subs - T210D4 (2)
Sub Amps - T20001BD
Comps - T162s
Comp Amp - T5002
Third set up:JL Audio
Subs - 10w7 (2)
Sub Amp - HD750/1
Comps - ZR650
Mid Bass - ZR800
Comp/Mid Bass Amp - HD600/4
I have also looked at Orion, Pioneer, and Polk, but unsure about quality from top to bottom of equipment. So those are still on the plate just not 100% sold on them as of yet. Of course I was looking at there top of line equipment also. I would appreciate any feed back positive or negative on the equipment. All equipment will be installed and set up by my local stereo shop also.
