    Unlimited Budget AND wants it to bounce???

    I'd get some nice hydraulics put on all four corners...make sure to have the frame reinforced...add to that a big bank of sealed batteries like (kinetik, optima, odyssey, stinger...big batteries) and you'll be bouncing in no time.

    No hydrolics. Id like a max of 4 subs, minmum of 2, I want it to be a relaly nice system. Id like a in dash dvd screen as well. Not sure about the back row, but I might put a tv there to. An alarm would be a good idea to.

    alright, first you gotta get component speakers for the front. If you're gonna have all the boom in the back you gotta make sure you have good sound up front. A 6 1/2 component system will work up front for your 4Runner. A lot of the stuff on the market sound good. It's gonna come down to what you prefer. You should prolly go to a car audio place and listen and see what you like. Brands like MB Quart, Focal, DLS are very good and can get pretty pricey depending on the model you get. Have a look on these sites just to get familiar with some stuff.

    For your amps and subs, if your gonna ask Aznboi he'll tell you to look at Elemental Designs here's the link:

    http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/index.php

    They have very good amps, and subs. I'm gonna get myself an ED sub in a few months. They have very good reviews...
    Also for looking at subs and amps especially having a lot of cash, take a look at brands like JL Audio and Kicker. I'm missing a lot right now, gotta bad headache. Try to pick out some stuff that your interested in, and the guys here will give you thier views on it.

    well, well, well...


    An unlimited budget eh?


    First and foremost.....define WHAT you want from your sytem. I will guess you are like most everyone, Sound Quality and SPL....

    Then you need to look at your taste in music, boom boom rap most of the time? or perhaps country and western with some rock thrown in?

    A big sytem requires electrical upgrades to the charging sytem, among other things...

    As for security, i reccomend autopage


    Now, lets get realistic here.......

    Alot of folks here will tellya what to get cause it "sounds the best"....well, I am here to tell ya that the bottom line is this...get what YOU think sounds good...Dont pay attention to some jackass on the street that tels you this is better than that...let your OWN EARS tell YOU what sounds the best..this is especially true for componenets in your car.... Let what everyone tell you sonds the best to be a simple guideline for a search of your desired sytem.

    Subs and amps are a dime a dozen anymore....you want some killer bass......bottom line, the right box IS the MOST important factor...period.

    e can continue this later...Dont make a quick decision and regret it later......a properly built sytem can last for years and sound awesome if done right and treated with respect....

    Yeah I installed the amp...and put in my friends MA Audio HK150XC sub.

    Its getting about 500-600 watts rms from the Nine.1 wired at 2 ohms(dual 4 ohm sub)...Right now it is in my huge ported box that I build(the one Ranger designed)

    It's pretty loud...flexes my roof and makes my rear wiper bounce a lil...my back hatch vibrates SOOO much now though.

    Earlier today I put my friends 15 Type R in there getting about 1000 watts...it was LOUD

    My gf is letting me borrow her camera tomorrow...I'll take some pics.

    This amp is VERY efficient...for being able to pull 130 amps max current...my voltage would only dip to about 12.6-12.8 volts
