Well guys I finally have enough to build a nice system. Currently I have about 800 but more to come deffinetly. I plan on making almost all my purchases at Best Buy cuz they are very close and easy to get to. I need:
CD/MP3 Player w/ aux input for my ipod
4 Good Speakers
2 or 4 Subs
1 or 2 Amps
I have a good amount of cash coming in now so money isn't really that much of a problem. 
So what would you guys recommend? This is the Head Unit I was looking at...

It's cheap(not the reason I chose it) and has all the things I need in it...Look decent?

how can you choose a 1 preout deck if you need to plug 2 amps on it, you should try to find one with front/rear and non-fader preout with a good voltage.
why builting a big sound system with lot of cheap stuff, why do you need 4 sub when you can have just 1 or 2 but way better and performant sub.
Why are you not begining by 4 good speaker and get a 4ch for them after than buying 4 crappy speaker that doesnt really need amps to power them.
you should really consider going step by step, than rushing to get the more stuff you can at the cheaper price you can... just my advice

yeah man, think of what you buy, first. That DUAL is junk, really is. I coudl probably build you a nice sounding HIGH QUALITY system with 2 subs, 4 good door speakers, IPOD capable headunit, and 2 amps (1 for sub, 1 for doors speakers) for 800. Truthfully, I'd save bestbuy for your CDs and DVD's, what they stock is fairly small and the good things are overpriced. Buy your stuff new on Ebay or any online car audio place like cryutchfield. you'll get a MUCH better deal and you'll go home with a bunch of high end better quality componenets than a couple Dual items, a Legacy amp, and some crap JVC speakers.
And 4 subs WILL NOT fit in a tour and sound good, guaranteed. anymore than 2 12's, and you're are just looking for show.

Well... I wasn't sure about having 2 amps it was just an idea. And can't I wire them together thus only needing 1 preout? But it doesn't matter I don't HAVE to have 2. Again I don't HAVE to have 4 subs it was just an idea. If they weren't so expensive I was gunna get 4, if they cost a lot then I will just get 2. I don't plan on amping the speakers...I want 4 good speakers that give me some good audio quality...o yeah they need to be 5X7 or else I'll have to mod my door  Which I could do but it would be more work... I'm not looking for any cheap stuff. I want a good system but I want to be able to put it all together at the same time rather than taking my car apart every week to wire in another speaker.

Well, if anything, get the Dual headunit just for Iplug capabilities, but don't go cheap on subs or amps. MANY manufactures make the needed hook up cables, like blaupunkt, sony, and alpine for an ipod (range in price from 20-70 bucks).
Th eonly thing that sucks with the dual unit is the lack of preouts, and the one it has will be used to power the ipod. Does it have sub preouts? I can't recall if it did, or not. 
EDIT:
Don't get mad at us, either. you didn't STATE YOU HAD TO BUY FROM BEST BUY.

No  that was the one thing I found wrong with it. I would get a better HU. But all the ones I found were only ipod adabtable if I bought a 170$ accessory!

Instead of search an Ipod plug you could buy a good RF adaptator or buy a HU with an AUX-IN.

Ok Ok that solves the prob for the HU, but what about those door speakers? They seem too cheap to be of good quality...

Now, add all that up and tell me how much it comes out too.. Let's see.
175.00 HU
200.00 for 2 subs
160.00 For 4 speakers
180.00 For Door Speaker amp
you have a little less than 300 left to buy a mono block type amp for the 2 subs and a cap (proabbnly not needed, though) and a box (40 bucks)

5x7 and 6x8 are the same thing. TRUST ME. 
6x8 have the mounting holes for a 5x7 location, no modifying required.

Thats a bandpass box, they suck for certain apllications (liek COntour's.)
Your standard 2 port dual sub enlosuyre box will be the best bet for you.
HOly crap they rape you on Box prices. 
Have any woodworking skills?  That 90.00 Q-logic could be made wiht 1 piece of 1/4" MDF, 1/2 yard of fabric, adn 1 tube of caulf.. oh, and the box building kit from cruthfield for about 30.00 total.

reread my post.. I edited it, lol.
edit:
Hmm, if you weren't strapped for buying from BEst Buy, I'd sell you mybox, with two 10" kenwoods and 600 watt amp for pretty cheap. 
But we won't turn this into a classsified's add page, lol.
Now, bestbuy is including a pair of Dual subs with that amp if you want to use them, thats fine, they suck, but will produce bass nonetheless. You'll just want to be sure to get a monoblock amp or a 2 channel amp to power those two subs. You'll probably want to condier a cap (thinking about it now) since you will be having two amps drawing off your one car battery.

lol 
Serarch are classifieds or an specialty car audio store (even Ebay for god sakes), you can get a dual enclosure standard box (rectangular dimensions CAN NOT be more than 32"wide X 17" high X 17" deep, or you will not get it to fit in the trunk, without a MAJOR fight (which you probably will loose, lol)
Also, I'd suggest you get a ported box for these kenwoods and I think they require like .80 Cu ft of air space.. which a 32 x 16 x15 would be good (i think, I sux at t3h math, lol)

I wouldn't consdidered an aditional battery..upgrading teh (insert battery name here) for a red top or yellow top optima would be helpful! Also, a cap is a cap, really. FInd the cheapest 1.0-1.5 farad digital cap and get it. I picked up a lightning audio one for 35.00 shipped BRAND NEW off ebay.) You'll pay 120 bucks for a monster audio cap from best buy, DON'T DO IT!! A cap is just an external power storage device, brand names don't make it any difrent.

Ok I'll look into that...what exactly is a optima battery tho...
and what about this box?
http://tinyurl.com/dwnxq
I don't exactly want to buy a box online cuz it's heavy and would cost a lot to ship. There is a car audio store about 20 min frome here, would I be better of checking if they have a cheap box?

THat box would be alright, however the manufactureer is recomending 1.0 Cu/Ft of air space (per sub) sealed or ported. That one is ported which is good. How much is shipping to your area?

Optima Batteries, ready up sonny
as for that box, the only problem with TOOmuch air space, is the subs could sound as if they are OVER powered when they are not (trying to push ouit too much air)
Rechecking math
you wopuld want a 32"x14"highx13" deep to get the best sound, that will give you about 1.25" of air space per sub. Remember, you ghave to include the rmeoval of space the sub takes otu inside the box.
Hmm... that box you listed would do fine the more I thik about it. An extra 1/4 cu of air for a small ported design box like that would more than be good for the applciation.

Defently. See one of teh installers who make boxes, ask him to make you one and show hime the cash (say 50 bucks). He'd be willing to take care of you, then. Tell him what subs you have, tell him the length you want (32") and let him go from there.
You shouldn't have to pay more than 50 or so for a barely custom box with carpet. Now, alot of time, places liek best buy and such have "floor model" discounts on boxes and what not for pretty cheap. Take a tape measure with you and find one.

Ok...explain the "floor model" thing one more time...
Also which battery would be better. Red top or Yellow top?

Flor model, AKA, the oens they are using for testers at the store, a lot of times you can ask them if you cna buy it, someitmes they let you at a discounted price. Never hurts to ask, really.
Red tops are better IMHO, but require some finnessing to get into the factory spot, since it is installed laying down, not standing up like a motorcraft or whatever adn the terminals are now on the side, somewhat of a PITA to get thecables on them for some reason.

160.00 For 4 speakers
180.00 For Door Speaker amp
you have a little less than 300 left to buy a mono block type amp for the 2 subs and a cap (proabbnly not needed, though) and a box (40 bucks)
Wait I still don't have an AMP for my subs... I was looking at this http://tinyurl.com/7pexg

WHoa there Dr. Dre.. TOO MUCH POWA!! web page The 12" Kenwoods are 200 Max Continuous power, with 500 or so Peak.. this one woudl be great, as it's 200 continous and reach 300 max per sub. Rockford makes a MUCH better amp than kenwood or sony, though.

teh difrence between 300 and 1000 watts is, uhh, the word "Sizzle". You can not over power a sub, but you can underpower an overpowered sub. Meaning, 500 watt amp with a 1000watt max subwoofer.

Red Top
Optima SIL (Starter, Ignition & Lighting) Batteries
Back: 34M, 34, 34R (reverse post)
Front: 75/35, 6V, 34/78
Ultra high performance in cold or heat... Ultra shock resistance... High tolerance for accidental deep discharge... OPTIMA is the ultimate battery for any vehicle that really needs to start. OPTIMA batteries are preferred by emergency vehicle crews because they deliver more power in tougher conditions than any other battery. Collectors and RV owners appreciate the Optima's ability to hold a charge up to 3 times longer than conventional batteries.
Yellow Top
OPTIMA Yellow Top and Blue Top battery models are the power source of choice for deep-cycle power needs. Compared to conventional batteries, voltage output from an Optima battery is more uniform across the discharge curve, more deep cycles are tolerated, and they can be mounted in any position with zero corrosion and zero leaks. They recharge faster than conventional batteries, and typically deliver 1.5 - 2x the service life. Yellow Top and Blue Top batteries also offer excellent performance as starter batteries for dual-purpose applications.
Performance audio
Trolling motors
Portable lighting
Winches Inverter power
Security system backup
Sump pump backup
RV/Camping power
..I am renigging, you want a yellow top.. You don't want a Red Top, it won't help you as much. Expect to pay about 100 bucks or so cfor the battery. If you battery is not teh original, just buy a 30 dollar capasitor and call it a day. No need for any additional power for teh amp powering the door speakers as they are using very minimal power compared to the subs.

hey who was that high school kid from Grand Rapids, MI who was such an impulse buyer? I think he had GR in his name. Remember he would make all kinds of posts like this listing crappy equipment asking our opinions. Then we would tell him he's making a mistake and list off better options thinking he understood. Then he would just go off and buy the same crap he was listing before.

You'll pay 120 bucks for a monster audio cap from best buy, DON'T DO IT!! A cap is just an external power storage device, brand names don't make it any difrent.
A cap is not a cap. Caps range from sucking tremendously to having a miniscule amount of usefulness. When buying caps, look for the lowest ESL and ESR you can find, or better yet, spend your money on something more useful like a battery (if yours is bad) or potentially an alternator (go to Autozone and have it tested).
I do agree that you should avoid Monster products in any scenario unless you have an exceptionally thick wallet and like to lighten it on a product with no foreseeable advantage.
To the original poster, you are posting on a public forum and you better expect to get wildly different recommendations/criticisms of your plan. When someone says "BEST BUY SUCKS", ignore them, telling them to essentially "f off" makes everyone hate you even if your reasoning was semi-justifiable.

Well, I guess I'll agree with ya. My experience with caps has been great, I've probably had 5 or 6 rangin in ALL diffrent brands, from a crappy no name ebay special to an expensive Lightning Audio LSD10-03 that I currently have.
I guess I've never been running enough watts to tell a diffrnece, though... I'll step down.

I just rearead the thread, I was thinking at that time he would be installing a seperate in the trunk, which in that case he'd want a yellow...but you are right, he shoudl be getting a red top if he's repalcing his factory battery. I just wish they fit better.

"fits" is a relative term.
if you mount it on it's side, and take out the battery box, it fits fine.

#2 your lack on knowledge is getting really annoying. How about stop being a post whore and don't post about [censored] you obviously have no clue about!!!!!! 
And to the orignal poster, you want a System that Amazing for a Good price? Ill sell my whole system for 1k, Deck, both amps, Sub, Sub Box....

for two sub you will need a mono 1ch amplifier because the P2002 will give you 50RMS per sub only, with a same power 1ch amplifier you will have 100RMS per channel.
For using the full potentil of this 2ch amp you need only one subwoofer and bridged it in 4ohm will give you 200RMS for one sub only, compare to 100RMS for two subs

another thing, the HU you want have only have only 2 preout only (front and rear) with 1.8V only, you should REALLY consider getting a HU with 3 preout, front and rear for your 4 CH amp and a non fading for your sub amps, and with a higher voltage preout will give you more power and quality for your amps.
why are you not going step by step ??? just get a good HU first and a good amps and sub kit. a alpine type R 12" will cost you 20$ more than the 2 kenwood and will give you 500RMS (the kenwood are 175RMS each so 350RMS ovrerall).
you can power the 2 pair of kenwood 6X8 with the HU amps, if your planning getting a amps for the speaker you should consider getting more powerfull speakers.
think about it, step by step is way better than rushing on a cheap complete kit !!!

Ok, I can tell your on a Best Buy/Kenwood high right now but for the love of everything holy sober up and get some different subs. The only thing DECENT that BB caries right now is the type R Alpines. Kenwood amps and subs have been pretty bad the last couple of years and this year I think has been their worst yet. Their decks have been pretty decent but their amps/subs = Unless you get the Excelon line. Look, I know your on an extreme budget but there are plenty of high quality alternatives. like I just hooked my Brother-in-law up with a VS12L7 12" kicker L7 loaded enclosure for $242 I got the 4ohm version and rewired it up for a 1 ohm load  and a Hifonics Brutus BX1000D 1000x1 RMS 1ohm stable amplifier for $212  How about that? box, amp, sub for under $500 out the door! Now anybody who knows anything about audio knows that this would blow any 2 subs away that you can buy from Best Buy hands down. So please, do a little more research before jumping on the Best Buy/Circuit City band wagon. You will be mucho happier in the long run

Dude, you posted links to the 3rd or 4th proposed system and said something to the effect of "I'm open to other suggestions", you received at least one more suggestion and then posted "does this sound like a decent system". If you are going to buy the equipment above, who cares what any of us think? just go buy it.

If you are going to buy the equipment above, who cares what any of us think? just go buy it.
Ok so 1 other guy posted about some system he just built...how does that help me...I know nothing about stereo systems and wouldn't be able to do that. I just wanted to know if this looks like a decent system.
And no I am not any other names on here. This is my first.

Are you talking about my post? I listed that as an example to simply show you what else is available for a very low price. The audio world is not limited to whats available at best buy and circuit city. I was trying to show you that you can do much better for the same price young grasshopper. And what wouldn't you be able to do? wire up a sub? It's as easy as insert tab "A" into slot "B"

lol not too mention this is the third or fourth thread hes started on the subject! 2 of them getting locked up! My advice, if you know nothing about stereo equipment, you need to go get yourself a library card and read up on it, maybe gets a couple magazines and read those...I think everyone here would appreciate it if you tried to learn a little for yourself instead of all of us holding your hand. I mean if you dont know the difference between what 300 and 1,000 watts is going to sound like, you dont need 2 amps or 2 subs. Sounds too me you just want to rattle your trunk to impress the little girls runnin around your hood.
