    $2500 Budget..what to do?

    Ok. I'm planning on spending $2500 on a system for the truck. I am following the advice of someone here...Rob?? I have a budget and I'm sticking to it.

    This is what I've put together so far:

    HU: Alpine CVA-1004 $620.00
    DVD Player: $130.00
    Fronts: Focal 6.5" PolyKevlar Components $370.00
    Speaker Amp: JL 300/4 $350.00
    Sub: JL Stealthbox $460.00
    Sub Amp: JL 250/1 $280.00
    Rear monitor: ICON F90WDVD $??????
    TV Tuner: ????

    Wo what do you guys think about this setup? Depending on how far over budget I am or am not, I might upgrade the Head unit. I don't mind doing part of the system now and the rest later. What I NEED done now is the rear TV w/capabilities to view DVD's for the kids. Doin it for the "kids" is what gave me the go ahead from the wife for this

    Thanks a bunch guys.
    BTW it does not have a sunroof.

    If you are going to start with the rear I would go with the Icon F-90WDVD,The picture quality is about the best out there and that model has a DVD/MP3 player built-in.............

    Damn...that is a sweet unit. I hope the "street" price of that unit is less than $2999 though. Too rich for my blood.

    It should cost less than $900 maybe even less than $800,because I bought the F90WIR and it list for $1999 and Ebay has it for about $535 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=32826
