Finally was able to get in with a great guy in GA referred to me by another fellow ST owner. I had a bad situation occur about a month ago. Chop shop in town cut out my speakers and sold me trash to put in. It was awful. With the advice from a few of you I fought with the owner and they paid for the install with this new guy and exchanged equipment for me. I decided to upgraded to JL 2 series tweeters and lower door speakers plus the VX1000/5i amp. Wow. What a difference. Still getting used to it but overall very happy. Glad it’s over. Now to listen to some tunes.
I do have a Brand New punch 1000 Rockford five channel amp for sale if anybody is interested. It’s never even been taken out of the box. I had to exchange the old garbage they put in my car for something they carry, but ultimately decided to upgrade to JL.

Glad you’re finally happy with it. Hopefully the first shop goes out of business or hires people that know WTF they’re doing.

What speakers did you put in the lower doors? I have Polks and they're okay but are 6-1/2", really want to go back to the 6x9's and wondering if JL has an option now or if Focal is the only one out there.

Correct. I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about stereos, but I am a huge music lover and just know how I like it to sound.
