I just spent $1,000 on a new sound system. I wasn't really planning on spending around 1k on a system, but everything just fit together well.
Anyway, I got four 4x6 Pioneer Premier speakers, and two 6x9 Pioneer Premier speakers. I also got a Pioneer GM-X364 300w amp. To top it all off, I got a Pioneer DEH-P7400MP MP3 player.
Looking for some in-dash flash? The DEH-P7400MP CD receiver boasts Pioneer's revolutionary Organic EL display, with its ultra-high resolution, exciting graphics, and wide viewing angle (no more squinting in bright sunlight). If you're an Internet music fan, this versatile receiver plays MP3 files recorded on CD-R and CD-R/Ws — with the ability to store up to 200 song files (approximately 10 hours of music) per disc, it's like having a CD changer in your dash.
The built-in MOSFET50 amp will fire up your speakers. Make tone adjustments with Easy EQ's 5 preset curves and 3-band equalizer, or improve your imaging with Sound Focus EQ's independent front/rear tone settings. You'll find front and preamp outputs for connection to outboard amps — the rear outputs can be switched from subwoofer to full-range operation.
The Supertuner III is celebrated for its excellent AM/FM reception, and the DEH-P7400MP also includes XM Satellite Radio controls (XM tuner, antenna, and subscription required). For multi-disc excitement, connect an optional Pioneer CD changer — add a Pioneer changer to your receiver order, and save $$ with Crutchfield's package discount. A wireless remote is included.

My car sounds like no other.
Hate to be the one to point it out to you, but you're missing out on the low frequencies man :? Try adding a twelve inch dual voice coil in the trunk. You have already got a good system going here, now it is time to buck-up and do a few things to make it more reliable.
First and foremost: get the 130 amp chrome alt that does 65 amps at idle, then get a AC Delco professional battery that has absorbed glass matt vented technology. This will keep the expensive ignition system and car accessories juiced, plus the chrome looks hella sick under the hood.
Now run 4 gauge wire from the aux batt post thru the firewall. there should be an extra rubber grommet already there ready to use. Just shove the wire through there. Then install a continuous duty solenoid to the ignition switch. This will cut the power off when the key is not on. And by the way, there should be a 100 amp circuit breaker right before the firewall, and monstercable makes one for about $45. The solenoid was only $20 for me. Cheaper and simpler than running an isolator. I then run 2Gauge from the solenoid back to the trunk. And in the trunk is where the RV style Lifeline absorbed glass mat deepcycle battery rests ziptied to a plastic battery tray which is screwed into a 3/4"MDF trunk floor. Nothing is too good for my 90tgp. I use phoenix gold connectors and fuseblocks.Y'all need to buck up!
P.S. Spend at least $50 or around there for a good 15-17 foot RCA cable. You may want to put in two. One for the Alpine four channel V12 you should get, and one for the 300w that you already have that could run the 12" dvc sub that you need. And to further reduce engine noise bleeding, run the rca's on the passenger side and the power on the driver side.
since i am poor i have the following system that has been through 3 cars and 7 years. Jenson chameleon, kenwood 4042 eq, pioneer 4/6 doors and dash, sony xplode 6/9 back dash, jenson xs-10's banpass, Lanzar 1600w, jenson 600w, 2-RF 1farads, all rf conects, platinum, and 4guage. Stock alt, and stock batt. Lights never blink.
No! You do NOT want to run the cable off of the aux. power terminal. Take it directly from the battery. Any sound system store will tell you the same and they have the battery terminal posts to do so. Running it off of the aux terminal can cause problems, i corroded mine by doing so in my old gp. Best bet is the battery straight up.

The only problem here is clearance on the positive battery terminal. You may just want to upgrade the cable from the battery to the charging post. If it can handle jumpstarting the car, it should be ok for a stereo.
