First, thanks to Crutchfield for suggesting different components for me, as well as the website for suggesting which kits to get along with it.
Here's the setup I'm most likely going to go with. FYI: My head unit will be a car PC in the glove box that will be connected to the amp (ooooh yeah, that's right ;D) in the trunk.
Front door speakers: Kenwood KFC-C6879ie 6"x8" 2-way
Rear deck speakers: Blaupunkt PCx573 5"x7"/6"x9" 3-way
Amplifier: Profile AP740 (60W x 4)
Wiring Kit: Scoche EFX (8-gauge 300W w/patch cord)
Extra cables: (2) 17-ft Stereo RCA patch cable (it said I needed 2 for a multi-channel amp...wtf?)
Crutchfield also throws in extra speaker harnesses as well as the mastersheet instructions and a generic stereo installation guide for FREE.
Total cost (FREE shipping): $272.94
In the future, I'd like to possibly add a subwoofer, but for now, I think this'll work. When the sub comes, I'll get a dedicated amp for it. Would anyone make any other suggestions? I didn't really think I'd need a cap since I won't have the deep bass punch from any sub just yet.
Also, this car PC will be using a Creative Labs Audigy 2 NX, which has a center channel output, as well as a sub output. Does anyone think using the center channel in the future would be worth it for possible DVD movie playback?
EDIT: 6x8 Kenwood's, my bad
thx for the correction
EDIT: Current setup:
Rear deck: Kenwood KFC-C6879ie
Front door: Kenwood KFC-P505ie
Amplifier: Profile AP740
Wiring kit: Scoche EFX 300-Watt Amp Wiring Kit
Extra patch cable: Scoche EFX 17ft
Vibration Dampener: Dynamat 10115
Total cost: $368.94
damn, a bit more than i had hoped, but hopefully well worth it. now it's just a countdown until i order everything
