Trying to Decide on Gear

Alright well I pretty much got it narrowed down. This is all going in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab.

For the deck I want to go with the Kenwood DDX-8017 or the Pioneer D800. They both have good displays and not too hard to use. I can get the DDX for 900 and the pioneer for 800. Which one's would you guys choose?

For the Speakers I'm a huge diamond audio fan. I was thinking of going to their 5 1/4" HEX components for the front and 5x7" for the rear. Until i heard the Pioneer TS-C520PRS Or I'm thinking of the Boston Pro's.

Also since I'm going to be spending this amount of money do you think it's worth buying the new rockford fosgate 3sixty???

ANy input you guys give me would be greatly appreciated

Well that's the thing. I'm getting these at a higher end stereo shop that sells mostly: Diamond Audio, Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer, Kenwood, and Boston Acoustics.

I bet those are all nice things, but I want a double din in-dash TV. Both the DDX-8017 and Pioneer D800 have there pros and cons. I think I'll be going with the Pioneer just because of the design and the features.

With speakers I'm debating on going with diamond audio hex's pioneer TC's or the boston pros.

I already have my amps and subs out of my previous car. I have 2 10" d6 subs a d1500.1 powering the subs and a d6600.4 for the speakers. All the wiring is going to be streetwires.

If any of you have or done installs a 1995.5-04 toyota tacoma please let me know what you are running for speaker sizes. The stocks are 5 1/4" going to the 6 1/2" might be a little difficult. Or I might even make a custom door panel to house some 6 1/2" components and 5 1/4" components in the stock spot.

i cant say anything about the diamonds because i never personaly used them, as far as the pioneers i love their hu's, and their speakers are ok, but i dont think they can compete with the diamonds or the bostons....as for the bostons i had a pair of pro's a couple years ago and they were the best speakers i've ever had, they handle lots of power and sound very clean, so i would pick those from your choices....my main question is have you visited any other shops or just that one? if you havent visted others i would definitly go....while i was selling i ran into countless people who would come into my store "brainwashed" on a certain product just because that salesman did his job....i hope you catch my drift :

At my shop we sell the Bostons, Premier PRS, and where I worked before we sold the Diamond Audio speakers.  By far, i prefer the Premier 520 PRS speakers.  They have a lot of mid-bass output and the highs are very warm.  Car Audio and Electronics Magazine recently reviewed the Premier PRS speakers and called them the "steal of the year".  The even stated something about them outperforming speakers that cost upwards of $1400.  Both Diamond and Boston have excellent speakers, but IMO the Premiers are the best.  I (and you) are of the fortunate few who have had the opportunity to hear speakers from all 3 of these companies.  USE YOUR EARS and make your selection appropriately.  Oh, and you can't beat the 3 year warantee you'll get with the Premiers!
