Stereo Build help

So I have been saving up couple bucks here and there when I have the extra change. I have about $1500 to spend right now. But the quotes I got today to do a stereo were well over that. One place said $3000 another said $2700.

The guy who quoted me $2700 was going to do fiberglass pods in rear for rear speakers even though I told him rear speakers wasnt really a big deal. Amp mounted under trunk mat by spare tire. Fiberglass enclosure in side pocket. Stereo was going to be the Pioneer 8500. Wanted the mirror link capabilities. And then change front speakers to Hertz 2 way components.

I opted to do this install in pieces. Was going to go ahead and do the stereo with amp and sub and wired for the speakers and build the fiberglass pods. I don't have time to do it, so I can't save myself any money.

I could try to make the time and do it but I don't have any experience building the box. I could get one made from @256 Motoring. They aren't too far from Atlanta. And then just wire it all up myself. (I've done my previous vehicles)

So in a nutshell... Should I:
1) Wait till I have the rest of the money
2) Do base i.e.( Head unit, amp, sub, prewiring high's)
3) Wait and spend the money on other mods i.e. (wheels and tired, or body kit, or lights, or strut bars, etc. )

Please let me know what amps and subs you recommend as well. Keep in mind I value everyone's opinion... and I know its my choice for what I choose, but so many of you have already done the leg work and can tell me how you felt after doing your set ups. It will help me decide what I want to do. Thanks in advance.
