Ok so i have a 96 galant.. gonna put up pics a little later mayb after practice.. I just got the car from my brother who just shipped off to basic training for the airforce. The electrical is all stock. Im guessing if im just running one rf1000bd i may need to upgrade the battery upfront then do the big 3 some time down the road. On preferences i've had 2 fifteen cvrs in sealed box before in my astro van that pounded atleast to me and different 12's from mtx to polk they where just entry level nothing too special.. THis will basically be my first serious install trying to do everything right the first time. I would suggest doing the Big3 regardless. Sub woofer and amplifier wise, as people have suggested earlier there is a higher performance per dollar ratio from smaller internet based companies. But it does depend if you really want to stick with Best Buy because of your discount. If you grab a pair of Type-R's or Pioneer 3000's and a large RF amp, it has great potential to get loud for the dollar, and you will have good products. Did BB just pick up Focal or some high end brand recently? You could also grab a pair of Fi SSD's and a Sundown amplifier and you will also have good products. So you need to figure out if you want to stay with in the Best Buy reach, or venture outside of it and try out new brands with the opportunity to speak directly to the company that makes them right here on SSA. It is all about what you are comfortable with. Might want to see if Audible Customs is still doing the free box with sub woofer purchase.
