Alright my 94 ST coupe is all stock. It sucks.

I probabl have around 700-800 to spend a headunit and speakers (subs later).
Suggestions? I'll probably buy off crutchfield or something.

Ive also heard great things about Eclispe head units, but i dont know their prices, and i doubt they are in my range.

Thanks

Nice choices there...

Yes, alpine IS overrated. Their head units are the only things worth it.

Clarion head unit is nice... also, the new pioneer head units are great (you can get the deh-p860mp for around 300$ on ebay). Almost all newer HU's from Alpine, Pioneer Premier, Clarion, Eclipse are good.

As for speakers:

Look into components from CDT Audio, MB... DO NOT get alpine components.

Amp:

You can get some great hifonics amps for dirt cheap... they are good amps... The one you want will ultimately depend on your power needs, of course.

Ah yes, check out edesignaudio.com.

They have great speakers (components are the eDi series), amps (ninE.1 and ninE.2), and subs there (check out the new K series). High quality stuff for cheap, and you get a 3-year warranty. I could build you a CRAZY system for $1000 through that web site.

Of course, you must know that every one has a biased opinion. Everyone likes their own brand. Make sure u do research on forums like sounddomain.com, etc...

Ed.
