Best place to purchase?

[SX FORTE]

Where's the best place to purchase a double din dash kit, also I believe I'll need an antenna adapter, my local stereo shop has everything else.

Thanks in advance

JL audio C5? or C2? Amped?

[SX FORTE]

?....the sub model is jl audio 10w7, (I changed my cart) and the amp is 500.1v2 slash, should be a decent setup without having to upgrade the electrical system...

NM Noodile...I looked up the c2 and c5....I'm actually going with the alpine door speakers amped of course as I've heard great things about them cost/quality wise, the type X amp will power them.

The stock stereo is ok, but far below my standards for sound, the volume is always pegged at max and you don't get any bass without distortion at that level.

Dude check out Car Audio Stereo - Car Subwoofers - Car Amplifiers and Speakers! I'm in now way affiliated with them, but I can say from my experience that they have some of the best stuff for the cheapest prices! I ordered $700 worth of sound system equipment today, and actually ended up saving at least $500 from what it would have cost me to get it somewhere else. So instead of paying the guys to order it all and jack the prices up on you, you might want to check this place out. Great customer service, great prices, and even offers free shipping! Like I said earlier I'm in no way affiliated with them, but they do have a lot to offer! So give it a look, you might be surprised!

I never actually responded to your question. all my buddies buy their stuff either from crutchfield.com or amazon.

So I've never bought stereo stuff from amazon, but I buy other stuff from them and am always pleased, your friends...are generally done right by amazon with stereo stuff Noodile?

Yup, i had 2 friends get stuff from both places and they've been going on 2+ years strong now. never had an issue.

Sweet...I'm going to do it then

Looks like you're doing a similar system to the one I just ordered. Are you installing yourself or taking it to a shop? I noticed one of the members has done a complete stereo with extensive sound dampening so hopefully his info will make the install smoother.

[SX FORTE]

Goin to have a shop do it, I have known them for years and they are awesome, probably do most of the sound deadening myself this weekend as I already received it and that will save me money...how you liking your pretty much full set up? Where should I focus the dampening too? Obviously the trunk lid etc, but any key spots to conserve material?

Mmmm, just noticed you ordered your stuff too, hopefully someone will chime in...
