Change of plans. I decided that place was a little shady, and since it's going to rain all weekend I think the twisted sisters run is postponed, so I've got some time and am not going to rush this.

I'm sticking with the JL stealthbox, and the pioneer head unit which both arrived today.

I'm debating whether or not to keep that 4ohm 2 channel amp, as my buddy said it would be great for the door speakers and to just get a 2nd for the Sub. Also haven't even begun looking for an amp but I'd like to keep it around 100-150. (Edit: Something like this would probably be what I need for the sub right? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_777M150...ce-M-1500.html)

I'm debating sound deadening, in terms of what kind to use, to do it myself or include with install, where to do it, or if I should do it at all. There's a thread on here somewhere where someone said they used equivalent materials from home depot for a fraction of the cost, I'll have to dig that one up.

I'm also still planning on removing the rear speaker.

I found another place that looks a little more reputable, and the bad reviews that do come up have been responded to by the owner very professionally, offering to correct the issues and on one of them even a 25% discount on their next job. They want 150 for the basic install, which sounds a little more realistic to me.

The other place, I saw a review that said they scratched up his interior.. and with these scratch happy interiors our cars have that really scares me. There were several reviews that said they just didn't know what they were doing too, so I'm staying away from that.

Anyway.. I'm in the market for an amp to power the stealthbox, door speakers, and sound deadening, and appreciate any advice.
