What do you guys think of this setup?

I didn't want to quote three people.... so here goes

Jim - You're correct, I didn't mention sound deadening, but I will be sound deadening both front doors, as well as the rear cargo area & hatch of the SUV. I'm not gonna pull out all the carpet and stuff, as I've been down that road, and it's more of a PITA than it's worth. Truck is already very quiet, and has a good bit of dampening from the factory. As far as the bi-amping stuff, I've never gone that route, and not sure what you mean. Maybe you could shoot me a PM and explain it a little further in depth?

hondaccord - Sounds cool. Their prices are good.

nick_19 - At $900 from SSA shop, it's a lot pricier than I want to spend. Plus I'd probably have to add excess batteries to my truck. I'm only looking to replace the factory battery. Unless you have some other suggestions for some more powerful amps that don't cost an arm and a leg.

What is the range you would LIKE to spend on just the amp?

And I might not be completely correct on this, but I THINK bi-amping is where you have a component (not coax) set, and you will power the tweeters off of two channels (one ch. per tweet) and two channels on the mids.

My "budget" system isn't so much budget anymore. LOL.

I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. Honestly, I think the 3000D would just be a waste, as I wouldn't be using it to it's full potential, you know?

The $475 the 1500D costs is a lot to me as well, but I'd be using it more to it's potential, thus, I don't mind paying for it. $500 is about where I'll draw the line for a sub amp.

Alright. Yeah the 1500D will be the best amp in that price range. Sorry, I did not know you were really trying to budget on this!

In that case, I don't know if you know of this website, but they are very trustworthy, and are directly associated w/ Sundown. A great way to save some money and get a great amp!

Yea I've seen their page.

They're in TX too, so I'll probably buy the 1500D from them new if I don't find a used one on the cheap. That will minimize shipping damage
