Reus looks first class and the install is the most important thing to acheive the best SQ. Out of curiousity, what do their systems generally run? I just got my final quote of about $ 4k for rebuilding the rear panels to accomodate normal speakers and to do partial kick panels/front door installs. I am supplying all of the equipment. I could knock a little more than 1/2 that off if I went only with three ways in the front and a sub and just by passed the rears.

I got their full system which includes

an Eclipse head unit
a 10 sub in the trunk ported thru to the interior
a 8" sub in the passenger side( in place of the original bose sub.)
2 tweeters in the rear view mirror
replace all other speakers w/ their own.

I don't remember the exact price. but it was around 4g

Any chance of getting a photo of the tweeters in the rear view mirror. That is a pretty cool idea and I would love to see some of their work. How large of a port did they cut and is it tuned. We have been discussing this but the rear shelf with an angled placement seems to be the focus right now.

BTW, an alternative to mirror tweeters may be a tweeter like the scan speak revelator as their off axis response and imaging is so intense vocals come from right below the rear view mirror or right in the middle, high and forward even when placed low and in the doors. Different instruments seem to come from distinctly different spots. I have even heard like a wood block come from behind my right shoulder even when the rear speakers are off. I keep rears off in my cab unless top is down.

The revelators are about $ 300 each for raw drivers, but when you consider wiring through a rear view mirror and all, it may be about the same and accomplish same effect with trick/enhancement placements.

I too have the "full" Reus system as Peter has, although I left my factory PCM Head Unit because I really wanted to have a Nav system, but did not want to spend $2K+ for the Touchscreen Pioneer Nav.

I absolutely love the Reus system. I now have 3 vehicles with their full on system, and will likely add their system to every vehicle I buy in the future.
