    Dude! $2500 will make for an awesome system!

    Alpine 9831 for your head unit at $400

    Normall Id recommend Focals as well but since Altec beat me to it Ill give the nod to my 2nd favorite speaker. These Diamond Audio M661s are awesome speakers. They are extremely detailed and can handle good power. And at $360 they arent priced bad.

    Diamond Audio is an awesome company so well just stick with them for subs. Try the CM3 12D4 at $200 each. They sound great and will work in quite small enclosures for more installation flexibility. Plus they handle a lot of power. Id say get 2 of them.

    For amps I usually always recommend MTX and for this set up Id go with this Thunder502. It easily puts out 125x2 and it is very clean power as well. Its on sale at SoundDomain for $300. MTX are built like tanks and are virtually indestructible. Cant beat em!

    For the subs, try this Thunder801D. Its rated at 400x1 and 800x2 at 2 ohms but MTX amps are very underrated so Id say that its putting out about 450 to each sub and thats about right. And at $425 is a great deal.

    Thats $1885 so far which leaves you with $615 for box building supplies and wiring accessories. For that Id go with Streetwires. Tsunami and Stinger are also very good but I just like Streetwires. Check out this Streetwires wiring kit for $100. It has 1/0 guage wire and fuses. All ya need.

    Here is a great set of RCA's. Streetwires Zero Noise 3 series. This is a 4 channel set for $41. Thats awesome!

    12 guage speaker wire.
