Just getting started on a low tech audio install after being out of the game for over 20 years.

Apparently on Reddit in the car AV section.. skar audio is killing it with price and performance...

Don’t know from personal experience but it’s apparently very popular right now

What is your total budget, and what do you want to upgrade?

If you haven't already visited Crutchfield.com, I suggest that you start there, once you've got an initial handle on the above. They have all kinds of aftermarket audio equipment, covering the entire quality/price spectrum. And, they will give you installation advice up front, so that your installation will go as smoothly as possible.
Even if you decide to purchase elsewhere, Crutchfield will serve as a benchmark for you on equipment pricing.

Just went on Ebay and looked up just one model of SKAR amp at random and they have sold 60 in the last ten days. Not sure how they can even stock and ship that many. Thanks for the info will check into those.

Thanks Joe great advise. Already have the new door speakers and a new Alpine to replace the factory radio and some Monster and Stinger Amp wire kits. Got one amp ordered and getting a new battery and alternator next week. Hard to nail down a budget total but looks like a grand before I even press the power button and see the blue lights on the alpine.
