Car audio recomendations

Well I am no expert... but that all seems pretty reasonable...

I am pretty sure you can get away without an amp... when you bump up your head unit you should have plenty to push your speakers unless your just trying to get obnoxious with it...

As far as your headunit budget, seems pretty reasonable, I would just look all over online and see what you can dig up... i dont know much about HD radio but from what I have seen most units come ready for satellite radio, if your talking about the live music tagging on most local stations, that can be a little more tricky...

let us know what you end up with...

Look around for sub deals. I got a Kicker 12 sub and box delivered for $50 from Best Buy on Black Friday. I had an old Infinity mono amp that I hooked up (Used these run less than $100) and it sound loud and clear.

I'd recomend going cheap on the head unit. A nice Kenwood or Pioneer will run you about 150 or so. Kenwood had a nice head unit with adjustable crossovers for all speakers. Makes fine tuning a breaze. Get some replacement speakers for about $150.

Don't go crazy on a head unit or speakers unless you match everything. The kick from the stereo comes from the sub and amp so if you have to go cheap on the other stuff to get one, then do it.

You can always add an amp to run your other speakers later if you don't like this set up. But i doubt you'll need it. Hope this helps.
