Hi,
I'm putting together a new system for an F350 Crewcab Truck and am
interested in suggestions or better way to use my budget of about $1000.

Here's what I've selected:

(head) Panasonic CQ-DFX883U CD/MP3/WMA Receiver w/CD Changer Controls
$199.99
(amp) Kicker 02KX700.5 5 Channel Car Amplifier
$304.99
(front) Infinity KAPPA 63.5I 6 1/2" 3-Way Loudspeaker (PAIR)
$112.99
(rear) Infinity REF6802CF 6" x 8" / 5" x 7" 2-Way Speakers (Pair)
$64.99
(subs) Kicker 03CVR104 Comp VR 10" Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coil Component Subwoofer
$139.98
(sub box) 1.0 CF sealed enclosure per sub behind the seat
$60.00
(speaker wire, RCA cables, fuses, misc shipping charges etc.)
$100.00

Total: $982.94

I can save a few bucks from ebay as well.

3 amps were all within the same price range. Alpine, Kicker, and MTX. All
are 5 channel and apear to be very similar so I'm unsure which is the best
value.

MTX Thunder 4405 5 Channel Amplifier
Alpine MRV-F450 5 Channel V12 Amplifier
Kicker 02KX700.5 5 Channel Amplifier

I could also go with 2 amps and use a 4 channel for the main speakers and a
mono for the subs and still end up at about the same price.

I picked the Infinity speakers because they seemed like a good balance of
sound quality and price.

I listen to a variety of music and am looking for a well balanced clean
sounding system, not a competition sound machine. Any ideas how I can
improve this system by using different components or spending a few more
dollars on something?

Thanks in advance!
Dan
