Re: Newbie: Wanting to upgrade my sound, please critique my first quote.


^ That is a great start!
And I always recommend to people that they should upgrade 1 or 2 peices at a time, for the following reasons

1. costs are smoothed out over a period of time
2. you will appreciate each upgrade more ****Most important reason
3. you will know when to stop

in my opinion. $3500 is way too much up front cost

Continuing on with what you already have, I would do the following next

1. 4 channel amp install - for the stock speakers - let them know you will be adding another amp for the sub - they can run all the cables at the same time

2. new front speakers
3. sub amp and subwoofer - you may only need 1 12"
4. new rear speakers (if needed)


I think the only drawback to this way of doing things, is the multiple trips to the install shop - but I think the benefits outweigh that

Have fun with your upgrade
