Default Suggestions on my set up???

Hey guys. I am getting ready to use my christmas money for a nice system in my car. I work at Best Buy so i get a decent discount on car audio. I am really into the quality of sound versus the loud bass, so i am considering the Rockford Fosgate or kenwood components. If you guys had to pick from anything car-audio at best buy, what speakers, amps, etc... would you use. I have already decided on the pioneer deh-p8600 and i own the q-logic custom camaro box. Any suggestions and or help would be great.

So why don't you use your discount to by the avic-n1 you know for $800. I get discounts at bestbuy,CC,cartunes,ABC,Mickleys,ect.... And I would see what you could get at discount to sell to another for better speakers! I am sure there is something and and some MB Quarts are crazy cheap at cost from $150-$250. Or E-bay some MYFI's the free ones that we get. that cost $350 and are sold out everywhere! I whent to bestbuy a few days ago to get some car parts. I heard there are some crazy deals on Plasmas right now and the Monster Cable deal is sweet!

You work at Best Buy? How much can you get the AVIC-NI for with discount?
I'd like to get one for my car? How much for Rockford Fosgate amps?

My sister-in-laws boyfriend works at Best Buy, but he is afraid of getting fired if he gets caught buying for other people.

I also work for Best Buy in the car audio section. I personally went with a rockford P3 10 in a stealth box. My amp is the P3001 mono amp. I suggest that setup to everyone with an F-body. not the loudest setup but one of the best sounding. im about to put one on the passengers side when i get some time. Hope that helps
