Default Design a sound system PLEASE

06 w/nav - looking to spend 2-3K on improving sound. Crisp is what counts. I would like it to rock hard but does not need to thump. Going to leave head unit but open for suggestions for other componants. Also, any good installers in central NJ? Thank you!

Listened to an 08 coupe today with the exact set-up I'm about to have installed in my 08. Arc Audio 300.4 amp, boxology box with an Image Dynamics 10" sub, and Image Dynamics XS69 6x9's in the door (they are component speaker w/tweeter). And yes I said 6x9's, they sounded great, better than 6.5's I've heard. Total under $2k.

JL Audio 300/4 v2
MB Quart components in the front
JL Audio stealth box
pioneer av1c-z2
clean install, 150 watts to components, 150 watts to sub, plenty loud and clean sound. Around 3k because of the head unit.

My setup is close

JL ZR650 (6.5 inch speakers)

No rears

Alpine PDX 4.150 (4 channel, small but powerful amp, )

Boxology 10" stealth box (sub box)

JL W3V3 10" Sub

Alpine AVN-w505 headunit, rear view camera

Insulated with second skin

Installed all the work myself...save lots of money

System is really nice and in your price range.
