i've always found the speakers to be the most important part of the system and thus deserving of the most critical selection (ceteris paribus in regards to installation).

 

Wow...I never expected so many responses!!!!

...and I'll add to this too.

HU: 8%
Processor: %17
Amplifiers: %38
Front Stage Speakers: %10
Subs: %7
Interconnect/speaker wire: %6
Power Wiring:%8
Deadening: %6

Note my interconnect and speaker wire percentage. For all those that think I'm nuts for running what I run...
