What do you think of this

hey guys, its been a looong time since ive been here, still got my camaro tho

anyways, i think its about time to get at least a marginally decent sounding system. I still have the original deck and whatever brand speakers. I think my 6x9's are blown and my deck sucks and I got a burner now so i figured might as well start here.

This is what im looking at right now:

Infinity KAPPA692.5I 6x9
Infinity KAPPA52.5I 5 1/4

powered by a Kenwood excelon deck.

either this one

Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X559

or

Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X459.

How hard is it install all this. What will i need to get it to fit properly?

very easy, the hardest part is connecting the color coded wires
if you got extra money get a 4channel amp to power that stuff, and with the deck make sure you get 3 sets of outputs, 2 for a 4 channel amp, 1 for subs, it will make life easier if you plan on expanding
have fun with it all

its just my opinion but i prefer Kenwood over Alpine. just make sure you get the one with all the features (ie mp3 player digital satalite radio tuner etc.) if you have a tape player now get the head unit if u have an existing headunit i suggest buy the speakers first.
