true SQ is WAY more $$$$, then an SPL or "loud" system.

sound quality isnt that expensive. you can probably put together something that will be able to compete in IASCA competitions for around $1500. thats raw drivers, processing, deck, amps, wiring, deadening and any other install essentials. but the average person would be satysfied with a basic 2-way active setup. which if you shop around, you can put together something nice for around $500. big $$$ doesnt equate to great sound.

Kind of funny that this thread ended up being mostly about non-Xplod stuff.
I think that says it all.
(low-end Pioneer > Xplod)

I'd say real SQ is expensive,my front stage retails for about $800CAD up here. The biggest costs come from your amps, and labor. My system installed at retail would be close to 3000, and i still need a new head unit, maybe a new amp.

It can be done, but a poorly installed window is most often the the root of the problem.

well dont really now how many subs he installed, but he used like 3 batteries in that truck, not sure he cracked the windshield, but i know he cracked the rear windows

It's possible that there was a fine crack or small chip in the windshield to being with, systems exaggerate it, and they grow.

I'd rock Sony if I had it for nothing, but it's not on my list of things to buy specifically.

My power wire routing ended up being sort of interesting, I routed it though the fender, and through the cab where my engine main harness used to run. I made a block off plate out of steel and installed a grommet for the wire and is very upgradable for future wiring. You can only see about 6" of power wire near the battery. Routed power under the passenger side carpet and the RCAs/remote on the driver's side.
