    Thoughts?

    all good choices except the sub Thats a more show than go sub
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I read the reviews and it was consistently really high. The sub is going to be hidden, so I could care less what it looks like.

    In my z28 I am running CDT component speakers powered by a JL audio 4 channel 70x4 RMS amp, a 12" alpine type R powered by a 500w RMS mono alpine v power amp and the head unit is a kenwood ddx8901.

    It sounds awesome and I couldn't be happier with my CDT set.

    If you're going to get a touch screen unit that has HDMI/MHL capability, I advise you to check a few options out before buying. I'm not happy with he kenwood and I wish I would have bought the pioneer model with similar features - more apps integrated into the unit out of the box and you can get mirroring with a third party pioneer app. The kenwood only has pandora and iheart radio - no built in map app which is very lame.

    Is the car sound deadened?also-with a sub in trunk app-you need to vent the deck or you will not be happy WITH SOUND QUALITY.Are you worried about rear passenger sound experience?and most important:do you like to hear or feel the bass,little mix? DO YOU LISTEN OR HEAR YOUR MUSIC? what type of music?its not so easy to please our ears so knowing your wants is the first step into designing a system that works for you.Just throwing equipment in there might not work for you.THAT bandpass is prob a bad idea.Bandpass is known to be one hit wonders,they kill on a very small bass range and fall flat or lack everywhere else in the bass range.

    The car will have some sound deadening.

    I listed to all kinds of music. I'm not interested in anything obnoxious, just a full clean sound.

    Have a look at The Foam Factory for sound deadening material, they have tons. They're local too, at 23 and Romeo Plank.
