OP whitegt CEG\'er W Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 111 houston	I am realizing that I need to further my stereo system in my car for listening pleasure. So I want everyone to come up with a list(if you dont mind) for my 'tour. I want good quality components but I am looking at spending no more than $2500. If you guys could help me out I would appreciate it. 2000 Tropic Green SVT Contour Back to stock.....? 1991 Mustang GT Oxford white Lots 'O Mods awaiting P1-SC this summer

Still got $650 left... Trip to VEGAS!!! 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

So, I was looking at Boston Acoustic mids and highs, Audiobahn amps and subs, Pheonix Gold wiring, and an Alpine CDA-7894. Whatcha think? Oh and XM radio!

Audiobahn amps and subs - All show, not much go. You can do much better here unless all you're after is a bling bling type of system that impresses the eyes and not the ears. Phoenix Gold wiring - pay a third as much and get better quality stuff from www.knukonceptz.com (Bill, the owner, is also a fellow CEG'er). Alpine CDA7894 - Very nice HU. It's tough to screw up here as long as you stay with the likes of Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Pioneer, Kenwood, Eclipse, Blaupunkt, etc... and get a deck with the features you want and room for expansion (anything but Sony Xplode junk) 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

All I really want to do now is replace the speakers in the back of my car for another $150, and possibly get a CD changer for like $200 more. About a 1000 dollars in all. I can't imagine what else I would do with $2,500. Probably would have bought a much more powerful sub and amp and would run the speakers in the front through an amp. I also would have bought a nicer deck. Even then, it would be hard to get up to $2,500. I guess I would hit Vegas too. 1999 Black SVT "If I were an admin I'd ban you without a second thought.
