I'm getting my system installed tomorrow. It came to a little over $900 after the $50 Sony rebate ($120 labor and $50 for Monster Cables - ripoff there). The place pretty much matched
www.carmedia1.com prices!
-Sony CDX-7050 (high pass filters for 5x7's and adjustable low pass for sub, plus has 2 other sets of preamps) = $211!!!
-4 Polk dx7 (3 way 5x7) for $102 per pair! I have not heard them, so I'm crossing my fingers - Contours (door mounted speakers) need good high end with hopefully no dead spots.
-Sony 552 amp for I think $120 or $130 (140W RMS bridged - as much as the sub can handle and enough for me).
-Sony 12" sub ($50 rebate for buying 3 Sony items. A so-so sub, but they all sound the same to me at the levels I'll be playing at).
-Sealed box, about 1.3cu ft. Sub + box = $150. Flatter response than ported boxes, and is smaller.
They did not carry the Sony CDX-8050, but it's $60 more anyhow. I'll upgrade to MP3 when they are under $300 and stick this in my wife's 95 Taurus.
I'll post when I have a few days to check it out...
