Manifest: How is the box held in place?
What size power wires, speaker wires, where are they routed(RCA'* too) ?
You should invest in some good speaker grills. Tearing the cone or surround would suck a LOT.
96bonniessei: I still think you should sell the gift certs on ebay and go buy something you want. And what is the point of upgrading speakers first, good speakers with a meh source = meh.

take the rear speaker grills off. You will probably notice that the noice you hear is the subs moving the 6*9'* against their will and making them pop. Taking the 6*9s out may not be a bad idea.

Definitely go with speakers before the new deck.
I've been using Alpine Type * 2-way 5.25" and Bose tweeters in the front doors and Infinity Reference 3-way 6x9'* in the rear with the stock AM/FM/CD/7-band EQ and the sound is SO far beyond what it was with stock speakers.
I really need an amp though for the Alpine'* as the Alpine'* are hard to hear, whereas with these same speakers in my old 98 SSE with a Bose amp the sound stage was almost impeccable.
I'm looking at putting my old Pioneer deck back in again soon so I can hook up the Orion HCCA cheater amp and Infinity 12" DVC sub -I miss my thump in the trunk. :(

BTW, the *'* are only rated at 300 RMS so I wouldn't be sending them any more power. The vids are very nice, great choice of songs. If I were you, I would have spent a little bit more $ and gone for the R'* but as long as you are happy.

Well as I said in my other post I got the sony hu, 8 gage wire kit, the 2 subs, box, and amp in a trade for a PSP (retail-250) that I won at a LAN party in DETRIOT a few months ago....the reason the kid traded is cause I modded the hell out of that psp....4 gig hd, could play Atari, SNES, NES, Nintendo 64, sega, gameboy and gameboy advanced games on it....also I had abunch of games for it that I riped and put on the hard drive so he would never have to buy a game for it.....it also had a web browser......and what not....He gave me all the receipts for the system and they are as follows........
Orion Amp= 699.99
Alpine tyS= 259.99
Alpine tyS=259.99
Wirekit 8G=55.99
box=159.99
he didnt have one for the sony hu.....I dont know I think he got ripped off but he bought them 7 months ago and they sat on his floor in his room.
