Default My future system, opinions?

I'm starting to look into some sterio equipment, because frankly, I want to have some good sounding stuff in my car. Here is what Im looking at:

Headunit: Pioneer Premier DEH-P580MP
Dash Speakers: Pioneer TS-A4670R
Sail Panel Speakers: Pioneer Premier TS-A940P

I can get all this for $339.00 @ www.onlinecarstereo.com with free shipping. What are your guys opinions on this setup?

its not a bad setup but you can do better for the price. However you are going to need and amp to power both sets of speakers. because the stock amp isnt goign to cut it, and waste the sound you could be having.

I have always liked Pioneer headunits, but never liked their speakers or amps. I would go with somthing like Alpine for the speakers. Like the other guy said get an amp. A mid sized 4 ch amp on your speakers will really clean up the sound.

I can sell you a used but perfect Pioneer DEH-7700mp (same as DEH-770 Premier) for $140.00 shipped (Walmart had it for $254.00). I've had it in my car for 2 weeks to make sure everything was cool with it. The 4x6 speakers are ok but I would recommend Polk, Infinity, MB Quart, Focal. Pioneer makes a VERY nice deck but speakers are so so as far as sound quality and power handling. I would try an INFINITY REF 6412CFP which is a plate speaker. It will sound much better...very component like because essentially it is a component. Price is very resonable too...new for about $60.00 on ebay. These are also VERY nice but are about $100.00 INFINITY KAPPA 462.7CFP. As far as the rear goes.. Infinity Reference 9603i are very nice 6x9 and run about $100.00 or for $130.00 these INFINITY KAPPA 692.7I. I have always had good luck with Infinity. So for about the same money or $40.00 less you could have really nice speakers and a deck that does all the cool stuff like the volt meter, level indicators, subwoofer level adjustments...etc. Just google the numbers or search them on ebay. At the least I would get the 4x6 plate speakers...they sound way better than any 4x6 standard speaker..I've done quite a few 3rd gen cars including my old 91 GTA I used to own. They sound quite amazing for a three in. woofer.
