I got around $700 from family and friends for graduation and im working full time, so I finally have some money to spend on some new car audio stuff. Im going to look at (for the 100th time) and most likely buy a Eclipse 5425 tomorrow. Does anyone think I can get a better headunit then the 5425 for under $250??

I think im gonna ask my parents for a 6.5" componet set for my birthday (18 baby!!) Im thinking a CDT set. I also want a amp that has better SQ then the Power Acoustik im using for my mids currently. A little later in the summer i wanna get 2 15s and build a ported box for them.

Any good deals online for speakers, stereo amps or subs??
