New audio setup, can't decide best way to go: new HU, sub, amps & speakers
Yes, the molds for what they used before are the ones that boxology uses. It's a bit complicated, but the molds left with one of their workers, so 4080 has had to create new ones from scratch.
Not with Bose - you get crap and pay out the nose. There's also plenty of good brands cheaper than ok-but-well-known brands.
However, good audio will never be cheap (unless you own a crowbar and ski-mask). Expensive audio won't necessarily be good.
Listening to $60 components makes me wonder why they don't include those in factory systems. Listening to $300 components make me wonder how good $500 components sound.

My message was taken to literally. I didn't mean speakers that are expensive will sound good. I simply meant paying $180 for a full set of speakers is most likely going to send like $180 worth of speakers. The Bose system sounds like $180 worth of speakers.

Kicker DS65.2 - $68 (MSRP $170)
Alpine SPE-6000 - $33 (MSRP $100)
Pioneer TS-SW2501S4 - $78 (MSRP $300)
Retail is for suckers.
It'll still sound better than the stock Bose all around.

What is the normal way people are wiring replacement front speakers? Are they using the stock wiring or running new?
If running new, how the hell do you get it from the door into the car? There aren't any accessible grommets or holes in the door frame. I tried running new wires tonight and gave up after I had the wire out the door but couldn't get it back inside the car.

It'll probly sound fine, and better than stock, as long as he doesnt overdrive them, really just stay under their posted RMS value. as for the sub i take it he wanted to hear the bass, not feel it... I had 2 JLw3's in my Z and they BARELY shook a thing, sounded great though...
