im going to go crazy and get two kenwood amps, 1000 amps for two kicker subs and a 800 4 channel for 4 kenwood speakers and 2 kicker speakers for the deck.

has anyone done this before?i would like to keep the stock reciever so it looks like i have a regular stereo.

thanks to anyone who can give thoughts and help. oh and another thing could i vinyl wrap my wheels with black vinyl i think it would be alot cheaper thanbuying black wheels

Welcome to the board.

Get an adapter from a stereo shop or crutchfield that gives you low line input RCAs. BTW, I hope you're going to run a Cap to push all of that. Five Hundred alternators are not cheap and are a pain in the ass to replace.

Vinyl on the wheels will start peeling the first time you get them hot.

LOL. OEMs dont put RCAs on their head units.

Wheels get hot from braking. BRAKES put out tremendous amounts of heat. Remember, they are stopping a 4000 lb car. Surely enough heat to cause heat cycling with anything thats around the rim area.

Sound quality on an aftermarket head unit is going to be better anyway. Crutchfield is a good site to buy from, you get the wiring harness and dash kit for free if you buy the stereo from them.
Good luck!

Post pics when you get done!

BTW, dont waste your money on painting the wheels. Get some 22s.
