    Default $10000 - 15000 to spend on upgrading your stereo!

    Since im setting up a after market audio system in my car i thought what is your preference? You have $10000 to spend what would u do and why did u choose each component..

    head unit- Alpine
    fronts stage - focal utopia
    rear stage - k2's ( not really needed)
    amps - zapco
    processor - alpine imprint
    sub - image dynamics IDmax 10'
    wire - QED signature rca, XT 400 speaker cable
    sound deadning - dynamat superlite, Dynamat Difuser tiles
    install done by- Me

    Might i add that with my up and coming install im only spending a fraction of that ...

    I actually had in the MPS,

    Headunit: Kenwood in-dash DVD, flipout screen
    Sub amp: Lanzar opti-drive 2000d
    Subs: Soundstream T4-12 (2 of)
    Capacitor: Soundstream 5 farad
    Wiring: cheap 0 gauge and RCAs
    Front speaker: Std MPS Bose issue

    It was good for 142.2Db at the local Autobarn sound-off.

    I never did fit the rest,
    Front splits: MTX splits (2 sets)
    Front Amp: Lanzar opti-drive 500-2
    Multiple headrest TVs (4)
    No rear stage.

    Some pics of some of it in my old SP20 - a work in progress


    Front split setup


    Rear install

    well i think a better way to spend the $$ and demonstrate your product/s is to target a market ie SPL, SQ, show etc then get the best you can for that amount.

    I got jealous of my wife having a VY SS Dunnydore, so, I traded up to the MPS before I had finished.
    I still have the splits, in the door trims, sitting in my shed

    Your obviously going for SQ with the Utopias and IDs in the boot

    I think it will be a damn nice setup, just remember to deaden and foam as much as you can to get rid of rattles ect
