They're a VAR, so the value they add to the product is the instructions, wiring harnesses (mounting kits too in some cases), and tech support. IMO, it's worth the extra money for someone who doesn't already know these cars for things like regular speakers and head units. However, for subs and amps, the extra money isn't worth it. I'd go elsewhere too.

 

Hah, even though I said hell no, I'm thinking about another amp for the speakers. How's Profile? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OyRJeKv...&avf=N&search=

 

Eh, they are ok for a budget.. nothing major. If you have an ebay acct, you can find some awesome deals on there. The seller Ikesound, also on their own website www.ikesound.com is a very good dealer whom has great prices. I've ordered plenty from him before.

 

IndoAudio is one that I've purchased a couple of things from on Ebay.

And get your wiring (power, ground, RCA's speaker wires, etc...) from KnuKonceptz.com too. Good product with great prices.

 

That's works for me, and if it will do better than the head unit, I'm sold. I do buy through Ikesound. I believe I got my sub from them.

However, if anyone believes that it would be worth twice as much. I'm also interested in another kenwood.

Two amps are going to be cramped in my t-top space, though. The people who installed my first amp sort of just stuck it in the middle. I hope they left enough wiring to unscrew it and bolt it down a bit more to the side.

Edit. Why do some people only power their front speakers?

 

Because ideally, the sound stage your speakers should create should be 100% in front of you. Even on systems that are fully amped, staggering your power (Say 150wrms for fronts, 50wrms to rears) helps push the sound stage up front.
