Just thought I'd introduce myself. My system in my 00 sunfire is currently just cheap Duals from best buy, but have plans to upgrade it, which is why I joined this forum. I have a lot to learn and hope I learn a lot here. What makes me want to upgrade most is sitting in my friends grand am with just one 10" Alpine Type X. The Duals have been my first system and when upgrading I'm pretty much looking at going all out with, with a ton of bass, but still retaining good sound quality. At this point I don't really know what to look for, I don't really have a set budget. If I think somethings worth the extra cash, I'll buy it. The 15" Rockford Fosgate T2's are pretty expensive, but look appealing. I'm afraid I won't be able to build a large enough box in my 00 sunfire to use them to their full potential though. I've been pretty much looking at Kicker, Alpine, and RF.

For component speakers I currently have Sony Xplodes from walmart. I don't really know how they compare to other component speakers, but I don't mind upgrading those if I need to. Before I upgrade all this stuff I'm going to be buying a new deck though. I plan on going all out here and getting an in-dash DVD player with navigation and everything. Right now the Pioneer Z2 looks appealing. Especially with the iPod interface and built in harddrive. I absolutely hate CD's.

If anybody has suggestions it would be appreciated. Either suggestions on subs, a deck or w/e.... or just suggestions on places to read up to get a better idea of what I want.

I've been looking around since I posted this topic and see a lot of people recommending FI subs. How loud would one FI Q 15" be in comparison to one Alpine Type X? I ask bc thats the only decent system I've ever really heard.

I know the Q line is considered the sound quality line, but can anybody comment on the sound quality? Bc I want a loud ass sub that really thumps and shakes, but since its a daily driver and I'm driving around a lot sound quality is EXTREMELY important. Especially for movies and stuff. But I'd like to to be really loud so at times when i feel like crusing down the street and just being obnoxious, I can. haha
