2003 Sedan, New speakers and sub. Looking for Input/Suggestions to my current list.
Hi I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan with the USMC. I want to redo basically the whole audio system in my G when I get home. I'm hoping to order parts before I leave shortly so your help and input is greatly appreciated.
First off I had the common A/C Radio Control glitch. So to fix this I plan to use the following:
Metra Dash Kit
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X396 - http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KDCX...-KDC-X396.html
For door speakers and amp
Hifonics ZRX 600.4
Polk db651
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...io-db651s.html
A questions I have about these is do I need the shallow mount or can I go full size, is there much sound difference between the two?
And for the sub and amp
This kenwood amp:
Dcon 12 as the sub in a prefab enclosure becaiuse I do not have time to make one.
Does this look like it will fit well together, I am rather new at this so any input is helpful.

Looks like you're going on a really thin budget, which is fine.
If you're kinda set on that radio, I'd pay the extra $5 to get the HD Radio receiver in the KDC-X596. It's virtually identical in every other way. If you've never had HD Radio before, the reception is CD-quality, and San Diego has a lot of HD FM stations - http://www.hdradio.com/stations/Cali...A/San+Diego-78
Hopefully somebody like eggyhustles with a bit more insight into the speakers and amps to give you recommendations in the budget you're apparently going for.

How thin of a budget are you on, OP?
I would completely forget about a sub and get better speakers. Those polks won't sound much better than the stock mids..brighter yes..but that's about it.
Put the 150ish on top of that 100 you were gonna spend on the polks. That'll get you a damn good pair of components.

Metra Dash Kit
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X596
For door speakers and amp
PPI 600.2
Jbl ms-62
And for the sub and amp
Kenwood KAC-8105D
Dcon 12
How about this? Kinda a mixture, I'm kinda set on a sub. Just love some good bass. This is going a little over my budget closer to the 900 - 1000 dollar range.But do you guys think it would be worth it?

Get the dcon 15 if trunk space isn't a concern
Let's revamp a lil
Pioneer 80prs $350
JBL ms62 $175 (1 pair)
PPI sedona 5 channel. $139 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRECISION-PO...ht_2878wt_1163
This will give u 380 x 2 for the front components and 280 x 1 @ 2 ohms for the dcon. Not much on the sub channel, but the 15 is very efficient and will perform with minimal power
Total is $664. That's before price of deadening, sub, and misc interconnects.
