I'm a bit of a Sony person

Sony Xplod Single DIN deck 200KW
6*6 front Sony xplod 3 -way speakers
6*9 rear Sony xplod 3-way speakers
Xplode 1000kw 4 channel Amp
Xplode 10" pentagon Sub in custom box.

Amp is bridged to run sub and the 6*9's in the rear, the sound would be even better if I could afford to buy another xplod amp for the front speakers.

The sound is awesome and I think Sony is ok in the later series they produce.

Double DIN JVC head unit with purty graphic equalizer, 3 way Sony speakers in the doors, original tweeters in the dash (I think) and Sony 6x9's in the parcel shelf...

And before you say anything the speakers came with the car

Well obviously it seems Sony is doing some excellent marketing by selling so many of their 'quality'

products to people.

I was actually speaking to my good mates in the ICE industry about Sony products last week. They put it down to people not being educated in ICE enough to know that they can get better products at the same price.
(No offence to people that own Sony products)

*Looks at Ruchi* Question is how many quality ICE show systems (besides demo cars) have u seen be4?

Answer:

Zero
*FTOluv rests his case*

if your running another battery, wouldnt the battery provide less power compared to if it was connected with the engine? and how does it get recharged?

*no need to duck this time*

Im not running another battery, this battery was custom built for my system and can run everything in the car.
Its the maximum size a FTO can fit in its standard battery holder.

I'll give u an example how much this baby can handle.
2-3 weeks ago i left my TV & DVD player on in the car (i havent got it set to switch off when car turns off yet) from 10am till 6pm!! When i entered my car , i was uncertain if i would even get the car started. I slowly turned the key and the engine roared to life!!! the battery reading on my APexi SAFCII said 14.2V!!! Its like as if my TV & DVD player was off!
Unbelievable battery, and its guaranteed to last for 10 years.

Where did you get the battery from? Because I am interested in it. If I leave my TV and DVD on for 15 minutes, the car dies on me.

considering i have access to most speakers to listen to as a result of me working in car audio... dealing with most the higher end (at a reasonable price) speakers...

Clarion cmp746 cd tuner--------as it is Mp3 3 pre out and 24bit dac....$849
Alpine MRP F240------ 4 channel amp good sound for price... $299 rrp
Infinity REF6500---------6.5" splits in front..... $349 rrp
Infinity REF9603---------3 way 6x9.... $299
Alpine MRD301-------mono block amp..... amp + sub $599 (apline special)
Alpine SWS1242---------12 " sub DVC... as above

Total $2395 rrp........ prob get down to $2159

one awsome sounding system.....with the right install that is

DZYRME obviously has sound coming out from his speakers when he means his battery dies in 15 minutes (i hope!

)

The battery can be customised in size to suit any car. This type of battery will neva die on you and costs around $800 in stores.
I can get these batteries for at the fraction of the cost. If yr interested i'll show u mine at the next cruise.

Don't get me wrong, but why did you pick the entry level Infinity Reference series? Cause i'm thinking you might know something about the Reference series Vs Kappa series or Kappa Perfect, that are not availible to the public.
