all depends on what you listen to, how much money you have to spend, and how loud you you want it :D

2-3 12'' subs, and nice door speakers, 1200w + I like kenwood HU's, and amps. they are inexpensive and great quality best bang for the buck, I love JL audio subs, and door speakers

If you have to work money must be an issue, only people who need money tend to work. J/K But then again your going to get a different answer from everysingle person here, probably they'll reccomend whatever they have in tehre truck ;) Just go to a couple of stores and listen to the different speakers and figure out what YOU like.

If you want some real good stuff, go with the Alpine F Status units. That is since money is no issue. I would have that in a heartbeat if I had the bucks. You would not be sorry you did.

money is no issue...get this

iva d300
pxa 701
mrd 1000
mrd 1000
alpine type x 12in woofer
alpine type x 12in woofer
alpine mrv540
alpine spx 177r
kicker rmb8
alpine nav
optima yellow top
stinger wiring

custom doors upfront to house the kicker 8in and the spx's, and then custom box in the rear...that will run you about...

8000 dollars with the custom door and rear box and amp rack...

There was post on Sounddomain about this so here is the list they came up with; Note this is a SQ system but just to give you some idea of what no budget means.

what would it consist of... it will be pure 100% sq... not sql... assume no budget (dont spend like $2,000,000 either...) what would it have? It will a pure stereo (not surround sound) setup...

I was thinking the following...

Head Unit: Alpine DVI-9990 $2200
Sound Processor: PXI-H990 $2500
Front Speakers: Rainbow Reference 6.5 in kick panels $7,000
Front Amplifier: Brax X2400 Graphic Edition $3400
All Nordost Valhalla Interconnect Signal Cables $30,000 (yes... $30k... they are expensive...)
Thing is... what subwoofer to use.. keep in mind.. this is a *PURE* sq setup... so I don't think the w7 will be able to be in it..

THe subwoofer will have roughly 480w from the brax amplifier in bridged...

Insane Amounts of Dynamat Extreme $3,000

Power cable: Like $200 for a nice overpriced one... 4 GA

i don't imagine to many people buy those cables, thats crazy. I wonder why they are so expensive. Are they made of solid platinum?

i would go with:
clarion or eclipse head unit,
eclipse or focal door speakers,
SUBS: depends on what you want when you say loud.
SQ:eclipse or jl audio or diamond audio
SPL:soundstream tarantula's , pheonix gold "xenon" series or kicker SoloX's or memphis car audio's extreme spl subs.
SQ+SPL:eclipse titanium, jl 12w6or7, soundstream van gogh series.
Amp: i would go with somthing along the line of 1200rms +. like
kicker 1200.1
pheonix gold 1200.1
jl audio 1000/1 =not as good as every says
soundstream tarantula 1400.1
cadence z7000, z1200
mephis belle

I personally cant afford a system like this but i have 2 12" 1500watt Logic Sound Lab MDX subs that can hit 141.4 db's in a custom vented box on a Kicker Zr600 amp, cost me around $550 for just subs,amp, and box. alos got focal door speakers which sound amazing on a kicker Zr240 amp.
