Guys take a look at it again....I have updated my HU choices Please take a look at it again.... Thanks
--------------------------------------
Ok guys after blowing the $hit out of my factory monsoon, I have decided to upgrade the audio System. Here is what I think so far... i am total newbie when it comes to sound so please let me know what u think and any changes u recommend.... Thanks for comments in advance....

Head unit
Pioneer DEH-P7700MP
Quick look : CD frequency: : 5-20,000 Hz| Sensitivity: 94 dB | 22 watts RMS x 4 channels | peak 50W
Spec Link

Speakers Door and Sail panels
Pioneer TS-A1671R 3 way speakers
Quick look : frequency: 30-33,000 Hz | power range: 2-35 watts RMS |peak power: 220 watts |sensitivity: 90 dB
Spec Link

Subwoofer
Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1d dual 4 Ohm
Quick Look : power range 75-350 watts RMS peak :1,400W frequency response 18-200 Hz sensitivity 94 dB
Quick Link

Sub Box
Camaro/Firebird Stealth Enclosures
Link

Sub Amplifier
Alpine MRP-M350
Specs : 200 watts RMS x 1 @ 4 Ohms
Quick Link

My question is whether or not I should get a multichannel amp and power both speakers and the sub or get a mono amp and just power the sub... (The headunit says it has a built in amp I think that should be strong enough to drive the speakers) I am not looking for a crazy system just something that would kinda thump... Please let me know what u think...

The best option is to get a mono amp for the sub, and then a 4 channel amp for the mids/highs. Or you could go with a bigger amp. Not really sure on what's out there as far as a 5/6 channel amp is concerned. If you do decide to go with a mono amp, the power that the HU puts out, really isn't enough to power your mids/highs. They won't be getting the power they need, so the won't be putting out a good quality sound

You also wont be able to adjust the sound quality that much. You cant adjust the eq at all besides the presets it gives which is probably limited to "powerful" "vocal" " flat" etc.

I would not get that dual head unit.
Get something that will last so you only have to buy it one time.
I recommend pioneer.


For the door speakers, I would recommend infinity or image dynamics.
Check out #4 in the FAQ for more info.

The JL for bass is an excellent choice

I also recommend pioneer Head Unit. I have JL audio W6 10's, and Rockford Fosgate highs. They sound great very clear. Bass slams, But that also depends on how well your box is made.

I heard that most dual recievers are not very good too. It would be worth the extra coin just to make sure that you are getting a quality head unit.

I agree Dual brand is ok but you can push much better sound coming out of a pioneer,clarion, sony or panasonic.. a lot of brands bs you with some wattage. as far as your question definetly get a mono for your subs and go w/ a 4 channel for your speakers.like 2muchricemakesmesick said go w/ some infinity's i would at least put those in your front doors specially since they have the adjustable tweeter! that's just my two cents.

I personally don't trust any new hu that is shipped with packing screws.... from what i've seen, only the cheaper ones that stop working quickly do that.

Say no to Dual (Boss, Phase Linear, Pyramid etc). Ive been repairing radios etc for 20 years...believe me. JVC is about the best of the lesser expensive that have lots of features. Pioneer, Eclipse, Alpine etc sound and operate way better.

Seems like some decent choices. I have a Perfect 10 and really like it. It's not a real big spl sub, but it is a decent SQ sub that can get fairly loud. There are better subs out there for similiar money though.
And you can probably save yourself quite a bit of money getting the stuff somewhere else besides Crutchfield. I've bought stuff from them before and have never had a problem, but you can get the same equipment cheaper at places like woofersetc, carmedia, pro car sound, cbr stereo, etc...

yeah I just crutchfield to research my items b4 I buy... Thier customer service is very helpful.... I actually buy my stuff from a local place....

Great choice, I have this unit and it works great. You literally have control of all you music and amp with this unit. Control **** is a bit lesser, but this model kicks ***.

Right now I have the screen as my second battery amp gauge. The screen has a lot of cool features you can leave as background images or as I did use the screen as a second battery guage rating.

check ebay for good prices

i agree with the infinity stuff. all my stuff is off ebay
this is in my GMC Jimmy
4x6 dash 50 watt
6 1/2 in f/ door 180 watts
6 1/2 in r/ door 80 watts
and these things crank off of just my 7400 pioneer deck


for subs i have 2 Rockford Fosgate P3 subs DVC 4 ohm and a MA Audio 800 watt 2 channel @ 4ohm amp. like said before get a mono amp

just do your homework before buying stuff. like get the correct space box and correct amp and subs that work well with your amp and etc etc. just doing the basics will get you a great sounding system. you dont need all high end parts

i'm curious as to your budget.

Im with this guy. I love Pioneers but IMO I think the recent years models control ***** feel like cheap pieces of crap. If you can get over that youre good to go with the HU.

scifone

all i have purchased is alpine and never had a problem... they have some good prices on ebay as well

iwuld not recommend the pioneer head unit it does not have a high voltage pre out unless you buy the very expensive one look for a deck with 5 volt pre outs especially for the subs

I would reccommend a Premier DEHP770MP maybe $10 bucks more? --- instead of the 2.2v 1K outputs you will get 4 volt @ 100 ohm. The output impedence is as important if not more than the output voltage...with high volt low impedence (ohm spec) you get more signal, faster. I install 1-2 Premier DEHP770MPs a week and have great luck with them...my comparison is to say Eclipse pieces with close specs which get lots of respect in the audio world.
