Matt,

Had a couple questions, I should be picking up my 2012 base here soon but I've been reading through the audio section to get some ideas. I'm a big home audio guy, mainly 2 channel but I also built up a Rythmik audio 15".

For the Z I would like to replace the head unit, a 5 channel amp and throw in a component set. I'm not sure that I want a sub in the car, but figure a 5 channel amp would allow for easier future upgrading. Having said that, I would like a component set that fills in the bottom end, which you seem to say that the ID CXS64 V2 do nicely. I was looking and noticed that the CXS64 V1? (WoofersEtc.com - CXS64 - Image Dynamics 6.5" 2 Way Component System) seem to play a little lower. I know there are a lot of factors in determining this and specs aren't everything I was just curious if you knew anything about that.

Anyway, here is my list so far, please critique as you see fit:

Head Unit: Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD or Kenwood DDX418
Kinda like the idea of the bigger screen on the Pioneer

Speakers: Really bouncing back and forth on this one between Hertz HSK165, Focal 165V30 and ID CXS64 V1/V2

Amp: Alpine PDX 5

What would a typical install cost me, I know I am leaving other stuff out like wheel controls, spacers, etc.
