Greeting's Mr RonRizz,

I have been following this thread since day one. Your sincere contribution
is appreciated by all including me....:iagree:

Just trying to help....:tup:

ok sounds good. Also ron how good is that hu? i was looking at the 5000nex i believe the one with nav?

If you have the extra coin, Jump on the 5000.

ok it would be nice to afford the 8000nex with the capacitive touch lol but i couldn't afford a grand for a hu

That capacitive screen is worth every penny and I couldn't imagine going back to a resistive screen.

Even still, the 5000 is a hell of a HU and a good recommendation.

oh i bet it is! the interface looks badass and thank you, i think thats what i will go with.

hey ron im curious.. with the things you listed is there say anything else couple bucks more thats worth getting over the stuff you listed. because im thinking if im going to do a full install a minus well get good stuff. (not saying the things you listed isnt.)

If I was going to make improvements to the list, It would be to the component speakers. After all, 90% of what you hear comes from them.

Morel Tempo 6's about $325
Image Dynamics CXS64-v2's about $380
Hertz HSK 165.4's about $425
There are literally hundreds of options............

so your saying hertz would be the best option? i see on this forum alot of people say good things about hertz. now i have a question. if i use the hertz will the amp be able to hold the 2 front and rear components plus the tweeters?

There is no "best option" for everybody. Everybody's ears are different. Any of RonRizz's suggestions should work very well (a Q&D look at reviews on the Web confirms this). To find the "best option" will take some critical listening/comparing on your part.

Edit: Get a good parametric equalizer to get the most out of your speakers. Most speakers only have 2-3 areas where they need some help, so a 3-band is all most people need.

hmmm thats something ill have to look into.. well i do want to thank ron about the hertz suggestion i was listening to some videos of the speakers and wow!!! they sound amazing just from watching some youtube videos!! i was looking at reviews on them and alot of people say nothing but the best about them. so i think i will be going with the hertz components.

Best option??? No, Just throwing a few ideas at you. I use the hertz HSK 165 XL's, and think they sound phenomenal. I have used many, many, many high end components before, and these are by far the best I've had.
If you want the best, perhaps you should look at these.......Focal Utopia Be No.7 6-3/4" 3-way component speaker system at Crutchfield.com

As far as your amp goes, you will be in the same situation as before....running the rears off of the head unit power, and just the components and sub off the amp.

You won't be disappointed in the HSK165's. They sound beautiful.

If you want to run all speakers + a sub without MacGyvering it up you'll need a 5 channel amp...and even that might not be a good use of your amp. I would still sooner run the rear speakers off the deck and give the HSK's as much power as possible. They will take pretty much as much juice as you could reasonably throw at them.

Before I got my 13 z, I had an 08 Altima and planned on dumping damn near $2500 (possibly more) on my system. I am into systems. I had 12" Kickers in it and had them for about 4 years and they are awesome quality. Can't go wrong with Kickers. Speakers, I was planning on getting Kenwood or Pioneer. That's as far as I got because money became a little tight. One thing I learned is you get what you pay for.
