Is this sound system setup good?
I'm wanting to add a couple 10 inch subs and a new radio interface to my car. The new radio is purely to play music via Bluetooth from iPad and iPhone. I know enough about wiring and electronics to get the job done, but i want advice on the setup i'm looking at. Truth is I don't want to spend too much on this; my car is an 02 escort (worth only $3000) and this is my first time adding anything to my car.
I was thinking about putting two of these kicker subs in

along with this boss amp

and then for my radio i was looking at pretty well anything with Bluetooth to connect to my iPad and iPhone

Added (1). If you have any recommendations on subs or amps, they would be appreciated.
Added (2). Also the head unit has a 3.5mm AUX jack on the front so I can use that or the Bluetooth depending on what ends up sounding best.
Those kicker subs are single voice coil, 4 ohm at 150 rms. That being said, i wouldnt choose that amp to power those subs. You need to wire those subs down to 2 ohm so the amp would need the specification 300 rms at 2 ohms. After you get that, tune it properly and set the gain right and it will sound nice… Nothing car rattling but it will add some good bass. Any aftermarket head unit will work fine as long as there's a place for remote and sub rca cables.honestly, i would prefer an aux jack than a bluetooth connection because it would be a cleaner connection but thats my preference.
- Where can I get a sound system for my iPhone with portable speakers? I want a dock for my iPhone 4s, possibly a 5 in the future. I want the dock to be like a stereo and have at least two speakers that I can place in different spots around my room.(So I can rock out) If you get the idea, then give me a few on where I can get a cool one!
- When I sing I sound good in my head but on recording it doesn't sound as good? I understand why this is but I want to know if it is because my iPhone recording quality isn't good. If not how do I actually listen to how others hear me sing.
- What's the best surround sound system for music? I'm tired of having iHomes that break and/or have horrible quality, so I was just going to get a surround sound system that i can use for my iPhone. What are some good surround sound systems for mostly music and somewhat movies?
- What's a good sound stereo system? I'm looking for a sound system that consists of maybe 4 or 5 speakers and a sub woofer. I want one that you can plug into the wall for power and plug my iPhone into it. Where can I find something like this?
