New system...maybe, Alpine & JL Audio

I am looking at having the following installed.

- Alpine Head unit (IVA-W200) http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...&lang=en&tab=F

- Alpine Amp (MRP-M650) http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...&lang=en&tab=D

- JL Audio subwoofer (W3v3) http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...hp?page_id=200


My goal is to update the MB head unit to better looking one.
Also to add some bass to the system.

Should I have all of the speakers replaced at the same time (wires also)?



I welcome all opinions and comments.
Thank you.

well, when building a sound system, it all depends on what you like and how much you are willing to spend on it

yes, you should upgrade to some Boston speakers.....

head unit, you might look into the new Eclipse DVD/NAV ones

Amp ~ I think you should look into the JL for AMP

the JL sub woofer is okay, depends on how much bass you want.....if you want more bass, you might look into the high number range ones.....


Good luck
