Hey all, Its come time to upgrade from the bass thumping stock speakers of my calais. I am looking to spend roughly $2000 on a decent setup. I was thinking something along the lines of a headunit, two front splits, 6x9's, 4 chan amp, 2 12" subs, monoblock amp. If anyone had any suggestions I would appreciate it

ok get a good headunit, the better the headunit the better quality it will produce through your speakers and more options you will have so put 500 for that i suggest in 6 inch splits of jl audio comp vr's for front as there f*kin mint (rougly 350) and if you build a new parcel shelf you can fit 6x9s without cutting holes in your trap (rougly 200) then with subs 2 sounds beter than 1 so i suggest 2 mtx subs from stathfield as there 110 for 7500 series and they go pretty good, and get a basic 2x12 inch box for around 120 so that leaves you with around 600 left you can get a really good monoblock , or get a decent monoblok and get a 4 channel for your speakers. dont forget wiring that al depends on what you want to spend should get something decent if your not a tightass =D just my 2 cents

If your putting 2 subs in the boot, there is no need for 6x9s just some nice 6".

yeh dont go 6x9's in the rear, just go with some good quality component speakers or if u wanna splurge just go with splits in the rear aswell as the front and a couple subs in the boot. always go with spilts in the front.
