Well I am very humbled by all of the other systems on this site and with good reason. This was/is my first car and experiment in car audio. I learned valuable lessons:

1)Don't trust your friends, installers or The Wiz.

2)Learn about everything before you spend $1,200 on stuff you could have paid $800 on.

3)Only go to the Wiz to look at the pretty Pioneer display not to buy anything.

With that said here I go on what I did and what was done (and then redone my me).

Components:
My head unit is the Clarion ARX7570z w/ the 6 disc Clarion CDC655z for CENet. These form such a beautiful and easy to install combo that I must recomend them to everyone. My speaker amp is a Clarion APA4162 which is powering R.Fosgate FNP1414 components in the front and FNP1614's in the rear. The most recent addition to my system is a Soundstream Rubicon 702 amp for the subs. This amp is so unhappy powering two American Pro 600Watt subs I am getting it a present. Two Audiobahn AW1200's are on their way to give me some huge headaches of happiness.I am using Stinger Dream series interconnects and HPM Platinum series wire and accesories.

I just found the perfect quote to describe my car. It is by Cobalt,"I always am amused when some rattle-trap of a hooptie pulls up next to me..." My car is that rattle-trap, hooptie ride.
This is my Clarion ARX7570z in the stock location. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit it is extremely versitile with the combo of the CD changer.
Here is the other half of the dynamic duo, my Clarion CDC655z. This unit is extremely compact, enough so that it fits perfectly into my glove box. It has excellent skip protection and the one CEnet wire makes installation simple. I believe that I will be using this HU + changer combo in my systems to come.
Well i guess this is the front stage my Rockford Fosgate FNP1414 in the dash. I had to use sheet metal to raise the height of the speakers because they were too deep, and i wasn't allowed to alter the A/C vents under it. The tweeter is angle mounted in the shadow of the pilar.
This is a picture of one of my 12" American Pro 600Watt subs and twards the left you can see my rear speakers; FNP1614.

My Rubi702 I think they stopped making these.

My Clarion amp, very clean sound.

Now I didn't want to offend any installers with my opening statements b/c I want to become one too. Its just that of the many I have dealt with only one didn't provide self serving information on equipment but then again they have a right to try to sell their stuff.

Things to come:
Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy! These look nifty and keen all at the same time. I plan on doing magor fiberglass work on a box for these that will go in the foot well of my third row rear facing seats.
