Okay I now just about everything I need for my new setup. I'm going to be compeating in IASCA this year as a rookie.Now I just need to find an installer. How much should I be looking to spend on the install. I'll need kicks as well as doing the trunk. It's a 03 sx2.0 I'm using a 3way set up in the front. And I want killer imaging. I have a good idea of what I want but I don't have the skills to do it right. So how much should I be looking to spend.

Also I'm looking for an insaller in southern Ontario. Who do you recomend? I would like to find someone near the Windsor area or up to a 3hour drive. Let me know.

Just to give you an idea, you can spend EASILY up to $2000 CAN on install for a street system........... including install materials, full documentation, proper wiring/termination, sound deadening, tuning time, etc, etc. This has nothing to do with flashy painted fibreglassing BS, dancing lights, motorization, etc, etc. This is for a system that will be a winning setup on the circuit and should do very well.

resaerch research research, ask questions, look at pics of shop's work, if there is no pics or only stories of great winning cars, walk away. a three way set up can be very difficult to get good imaging/staging from, and even more difficult if using passive x-overs. i have a 2002 neon rt and have experimented with many different speakers and types, 2 way, 3 way, point source. if you want to talk pm me with your email and i'll try to help you out with some advice.
