My budget is limitless this is true.. however there is a point of diminishing returns when we are talking about a daily driver, a car that will not compete in audio competitions, and the fact that 95% of the music will come from 256Kbps audio files. With these facts in mind the guys are being conscious of my money, which by the way is a fact that alone makes them worthy of praise. It would be easy for an installer to just say "oh limitless is great lets blow a HUGE amount" but these two guys are obviously more honorable than that and we have discussed the many ways to cut BACK on costs.

I have no doubt I will be very pleased, as you have pointed out I am in excellent hands with the both of them

I will have to let THEM (big and speed) answer any details that I cannot about the technical aspects of the build, and/or the logic of their decisions. I am sure when more concrete decisions are made they will be happy to share

Thanks again everyone!

I agree on diminishing returns, but there is another thought process .. Investment Vs. purchase. On some products .. ie: Dynaudio, TRU, Genesis, etc they can be considered an investment and will serve for years or decades to come. However they have a price tag. For the more 'generics' Rockford, JL, Kicker, etc it may appear a purchase. Many of the former would typically be pulled from your vehicle and go into the next and the next whereas the latter may be left or passed onto a buddy when done with the vehicle.

Example .. I have a client that leases all of his vehicles and comes back to me every two to three years to move his Dynaudio and McIntosh rig into his newest addition. This has been ongoing since about '97. While he spend a good amount of coin up front, he has ran ( and loved ) the same setup for nearly 14 years.
