Went ahead and ordered the Pioneer TS-D1720C component set. Should have them Friday. I'll probably install on the head unit until I get the amp and wiring to hook it up...or I may not. Who knows.

Alright...went ahead and just ordered the R400-4D. Figure I can upgrade later if I need to but honestly...all I'm trying to accomplish here is a decent upgrade from the factory system...which if anyone reading this has ever had a Subaru...you know how shitty Subaru factory systems are, so I could probably shop at Walmart and build a better than factory system.

So anyways...now onto deadening the doors. I'm planning on doing CDL tiles on the outer door skin, a layer of MLV with a closed foam decoupler between the inner door and door panel. I'll probably seal any holes in the door as well. One question I have, after sealing the holes, should I cover the entire inner door with a layer of deadener or just do tiles like on the outer skin?

As far as deadener...anyone use the CLD tiles from Sound Deadener Showdown?

For the whole SDS "system", it'll cost a little over $100 shipped for two doors. That's CLD tiles, closed cell foam, MLV, and extruded butyl rope. I'm still debating on how to go about the whole thing. Whether to try tiles or do full coverage of the doors with mat and use the CCF and MLV between the door and door panel or just skip that step and do only the mat on the doors.

Ok...another newb question...if I'm just using one 150w amp...would I get any benefit in running 1/0 wiring to a block and 4g to the amp? Or would 4g from the battery to the amp be ok...for now. At least until I add a second amp and sub?

If it matters, I'll be sticking the amp under the front passenger seat. There's plenty of room and it'll be close to the H/U and front doors so the run from the battery to the amp will be less than 10'.
