I am thinking about getting this setup installed in my volvo s60, As I am completly retarded at anything hands on I will be having one of the local car audio places install it. I would love to hear your expert opinion! What would you expect to pay for this setup, what would you rate it out of 10 being the best score?

Thanx!!

dunno...rated at...3?

very low quality stuff there. I'd save my money until i could afford something that would last more then a year. Take the money that you were going to spend on this set up and invest it in a head unit. Then save up for a pair of component speakers and a 4 chan amp as stage two. after that get a single 10" or 12" sub (image dynamics id2v3 is a great 'budget' woofer imho). last get a set of rear coaxials if you feel you need rear speakers or if the stock ones aren't cutting it...power those off the headunit's internal amp.

Search online for a brand called Niche Audio if you're on a budget... It's GREAT stuff, but not at a high ticket price...

If you go with the Niche line...I highly recommend the Titanium series if its affordable, but the low level, Evolution series is also superb for the money

Their amps are some of the best I've ever used for their price range, real quality stuff at a low cost.

Also, their sister company, Majestic, makes great component kits. I ran them in my car for a year and only went back to coaxial speakers because I wanted to change. Their speakers are good too...

Also, it would appear that your car has 6 speakers from the factory...you'll need to take that into consideration...

Here's what I'de recommend as for speakers, subs, and amps from Niche and Majestic, should you decide to go that route:

Speakers:
3 sets of the Majestic 6.5" coaxial speakers(or 2 sets coax / 1 set component)

Subs and Amps:
2 10" Niche Titanium series subwoofers
1 Niche Evolution series NA1010E or SQL series 120.2C Amplifier
OR
2 10" Niche Evolution series subwoofers
1 Niche Evolution series NA1010E amplifier

I recommend niche and majestic because i helped design the product, so I know what its capable of...i've pushed over 500W RMS to the titanium 12's for 2yrs, and they're rated at 300RMS/600Peak, and they never once had a problem with overheating, clipping, or damage of any kind...its all about having a clean signal and a proper amplifier to push them

why would you put in 3 sets of speakers? factory having 6 speakers isn't the same as putting in 3 sets of speakers
