Thanks for the detailed reply, I went ahead and ordered the NVX MVPA1 for the sub. I'm not willing to pay 500 for the one for the door speakers though.. trying to stay within a 2 thousand dollar budget.

The shop did ask me what kind of car I have and what I'm planning to install. The 150 was just an estimate for doing the sub, head unit, and amp. He said he'd need me to bring the car in to get into specifics with door speakers, sound deadening, and anything beyond the basic sub install.

I have a buddy that's willing to do it with me, but he already did header and exhaust with me and I both feel bad for taking up his time and energy, and am tired of f'ing with it myself. I'll probably swing by and check this place out, see what kind of vibe I get, find out the total price, and take it from there.

As for the 2nd amp, is it really necessary, or do you think the head unit can handle the front speakers? Keeping in mind I'm not the type to ride around blasting music at obnoxious levels. I'm not looking to show off, just have good quality sound for my own personal DD enjoyment. It will be kept at a reasonable volume 99% of the time.

Thanks again.
