I have used Crutchfield.com many times for car audio. They are like the CCOM of car Audio IMO. Very friendly people.

Hey zimmerman ..... what i would reccomend is using a site like crutchfield as mentioned by fire ..... components will not work to their potential unless youu are using an amp to run them ...... as far as speakers go what i would suggest is to goto crutchfield and select your size then break them down by db sensitivity and the higher the number the better they will sound with less power (like that of an aftermarket headunit) ....... i also have some older equipment like some amps not being used since my 09 legacy is a disaster tochange anything on and a lease ..... pm me if your interested .... iam sure we could work something out if you wanted ...... on crutchfield the best 6x8's are in my opinion ..... the jl's are great but need an amp to push them .... infiniti's are great .... and the polk db's both with a 93db sensitivity and i think they are running a deal on the polks .... id use the 6x8's in thew rear and use a 6.5 component in the front the pold db's are nice .... you can make a bracket that will hold the 6.5 in the 6x8 opening and replace the pillar tweeters with the component kit ...... the deal is buy one get half off so for 249 you have your speakers .... and as far as head units ..... there are so many choices ..... alpine pioneer and eclipse ..... its really up to you the kenwood exelons are nice too ......but if you have any other questions please feel free to pm me ...... i did the car auio thing for a long long time

Thanks all. I spoke with a few installers today and even a slim sub wouldn't fit behind my rear seats. I only have about 6" of space between the seat and the back of the cab ( 4 door Tacoma Pre Runner). So, I'm looking to do something like http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_113KDCX693/Kenwood-Excelon-KDC-X693.html with http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_136VR525CS/JL-Audio-VR525-CSi.html or http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_1086829CF/Infinity-Kappa-682-9cf.html in the doors. I'll just have to enjoy what bass I do get out of the speakers. :shrug
