Any tools you could recommend for installing a head unit? Just got a Kenwood receiver and I need some crimping & pry tools
Currently I have 2 Sundown Audio Zv4-12s, sundown amps, 8 Rockford 6x9s and components in the front on a JL audio 6 channel amp. In all I’m probably running about 5000 rms in a 08 impala. I’ve done a lot of things to the electrical system like, HO Alternator, 3 red top batteries, zero gauge (standard Big 3 stuff)., sound deadener, etc I’ve had my car since about 09 and just upgraded over the years.
In about a year or two I’m considering buying a Lexus or BMW possibility (maybe a new ATS or CTS). Most likely not going to be running all that powers but I’m sure I’ll need the BIG 3 upgrade if I put a system in the car.
I know you can put systems in these cars but is it really recommended giving the electrical component of these cars and cars now a days? I would also assume in this case I need to get my work done at a ‘high end’ shop with certified personnel rather than the place in the hood I I’ve been going to for years.
Ideally I would want a set up similar to what's in this M5
About how much would something like that run on just labor in your area?

2 questions.....
Whats your experience been with infinite baffle? I want to get a 15 and make the trunk my enclosure. I would have it fire at the back seat.
2 is it better to get one big amp or 2 separate amps for components/subs? 15 is a single coil 4 ohm so I'm guessing a separate stereo amp bridged will do it.
Bonus question, can I get away with just sealing my doors or do I really need to deaden them too?

why just 1 15 or is that all you have for the space for?
Use 2 amps. A monoblock for your subs, and a 4 channel for your front doors.
Seal AND deaden is the way to go

2 seems like overkill.... I just want good response and low end extension. Plus IB is so efficient I can just do one. I don't know if 2 would fit.
You got a budget?
Never
anything under $500
That isn't going to get you anything worthwhile
