meh, it depends on what I decide to do, most of the wiring is there from my current system. right now I'm thinking about some kicker L7 15's, but someone throw out some ideas!

15's dont sound near as good as 12's..they can't hit the highs. I just don't think the sound is very crisp. bigger isn't always better. I have alumapro banpass subs, they hit really hard, sound amazing, and last forever. i recommend them.

also i have a memphis belle amp that i love, check em out when amp shopping.

new head, speaks, amps, and subs...

Head Unit - Since you have a large budget, I'd look into an indash navigation unit. Check out the pioneer AVIC-D3 or the AVIC-N3 (a little pricier). If you're going with just a head unit, get an alpine, they have the best sound.

Speakers - Infinite Kappa-Perfects (Components up front of course)

Subs - L7's, Kappa-Perfects, Alpine Type-R's. Go with 2 nice 12's, 15's are overrated.

Amps - Depends on what you get for speakers.

I had two kicker solo x18's that I put in maybe four years ago, It was way too much for my car and now that sub tech has gotten better I want something different that is a little more practical.
