I bought a $130 kenwood from bestbuy, and a $30 dollar set of speakers from autozone. Both work perfectly.

I have plate speakers 4" 3/4" soft done tweeter in the front doors and MTX 6 1/2" 2 way in the back with a amp under the front passenger seat. Pioneer deck works very well.

I put a small sub in the trunk and shot for good mid and highs out of the 4 4x6. Sounds nice.
