Car sound system advice?

Anyone know a good car sound system setup, i want the usual sub, amp, 2 way speakers and a good head unit but not too expensive.

Answers:
The components of a "banging" car sound system would be as follows: The source (cd player, in-dash dvd/nav system, radio, tape player, etc.), the speakers, the subs, the amps, the parts/wiring. Also, depending on how big of a system, possibly a new battery or two and an alternator. Here are some of my recommendations as far as good brands.

Deck: Eclipse, Pioneer (regular or premier), Alpine, Kenwood Excelon, Nakamichi (not the greatest looking, but great sound).

Speakers: Polk Audio, Infinity, Eclipse, Pioneer Rev High end: Focal, Boston, MB Quart, Nakamichi

Subs: JL Audio, MTX, Kicker, Eclipse, Audiobahn, Memphis, Hifonics, Diamond Audio, Fosgate (p3 and higher)

Amps: all the sub companies, plus, Precision Power, Crossfire, Cadence, Soundstream

Parts/Wiring: Monster, Tsunami, Streetwires, even Kicker and Fosgate make decent parts/wiring.

These are all great companies. If you want a system, but are looking to not spend an arm and a leg then here is my suggestion. Head Unit: Pioneer, Panasonic, Eclipse (a little more expensive) Speakers: Polk Audio, they'll be worth the extra money. Sub/Amp: Bazooka EL10190PP.

But in the end these are just my recommendations (based on quality and sound), like Sparky said only you can judge what you like. Everyone's ears are a little different so what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. Shop around at all the car audio dealers and take a listen, but make sure you take one of your cds with you so you can judge all of them with the same song (one that you are familiar with).

Hope this helps.
pioneer is a great brand for a head unit and is not too expensive. i recommend getting 2 12" audiobahn subs = to 2100 or 2200 watts on ebay.a minimum of a 2 farad but i recommend a 4 farad power capacitor, and a kenwood kac 9152d amp.
I recommend the new Alpine stuff check it out @ www.alpine-usa.com. they got prices and everything!
Check out Crutchfield online. You can type in what kind of vehicle you have and they give you examples of what fits appropriately in your car. They have pretty good package deals.
I would lean more towards Sony or Kenwood, however you might do better mixing the system.
