My (Tentative) Setup...Need suggestions

This is my list so far, any creative criticism is welcome. The only thing I wont budge on is the Pioneer HU.



I know I need an amp for the components, I want something relatively cheap but good from a reputable brand.

Also I already have a 12" Sub and amp which I will be adding in.

Thanks fellas.

I liked the Infiniti's I had in my old car, but having heard the BA pro60se's I have now, I'd never go back.

As for the amp, Soundstream's got some solid offerings - bridge this one to 2 channels and it'll have tons of headroom with those (or just about any) components.

The Pro60SEs are a bit out of my range, really trying to stay in the 400-500 range for components & Amp. Realistically I want to stay in the $1100 range for my whole setup, HU, JDM DD, Components, Amp, misc items.

I was also looking at some Image Dynamics CTXs
http://www.amazon.com/Ctx65cs-Dynamics-Component-Speaker-System/dp/B001NNOZNQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS?ie=UTF8&coliid=I36OSOAS8ON9ZU&colid=2NJTNI57OTOU7 http://www.amazon.com/Ctx65cs-Dynamics-Component-Speaker-System/dp/B001NNOZNQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS?ie=UTF8&coliid=I36OSOAS8ON9ZU&colid=2NJTNI57OTOU7

Any thoughts on those?

Any chance you can hold off a little while to save up some more? If this is your first shot at a HU install on the G35 it may take longer than planned anyhow; i.e., doing all that at once may be more than a day's work anyhow.

I think you can get by on the amp but some nice components will go a long way.

Won't be my first time, I could probably squeeze it all in during a Saturday, I had an 05 sedan and the dash removal wasn't bad, anywho, what do you have in mind for components? Any input is welcome.

Word. Before my current setup, I really liked Polk Audio components. But after installing this set up I don't think I could ever go back to that even.

Army. Good thing - they dropped deployments to 9 months instead of 12. Bad thing, no R&R in the middle. Over 1/3 of the way through though.

OK so I might be getting a pretty sick deal on an 8400 deck....now I have a couple of Q's

Say I want to hook up my stock speakers for the time being (bypassing the blose amp), would I have to cut and splice the wires before and after the blose amp?

Is this even possible?
