Thanks to the guys at crutchfield I got the stuff I need ready to be installed! I got a alpine IVE-W530 head unit, all four alpine sps-517 door speakers, two 10in mtx thunder subs, alpine mrp-m500 amp! I'm stoked to get it all in! Also ordered the sub box from super crew sound! Should be in the next couple of days!

Not to be a dick but crutchfield is the most expensive place to buy things at ever. I always find what I need on there and order it off amazon(most of the time at half of what crutchfield wanted). But nice job with the system. Should sound great when you put it all in.

It was cheaper getting it there than at the local store where everything is marked up crazy high, but I hear ya man! Hah

A lot of it was on sale, the subs had a good deal going on and the speakers did too so I just played it safe and bought it from them!

Nice! Crutchfield is great. You can find great deals on there, yes better then amazon, if you really look. With the subs that will help get that bass load off of your other speakers and help them sound much better to! Looking for your install! Take some pics

I like the Crutchfield experience. They provide all of the parts, step by step instructions and technical support. Worth the extra $$$'s.

With the Crutchfield instructions, I put together the harness while sitting in the house. The installation time in the truck was about 30 minutes from old unit removal to installation complete and music playing.

speakers are easy, only need the adapters you might have to get them from bestbuy or something.. and I did it when I was 16 with no experience so you should be fine

Yes do it yourself. Get a buddy to help you. Take pics if you get stuck. Also crutch field has people you can call with questions.

For the head unit all wires will be labeled and different colors. It's not bad. You can do it for sure.
