Whats up, Im new here, but not new to audio. This is my first time building a system
for a truck (new tundra dc). So far, the only thing I've decided on is the new Pioneer 800prs. I need some suggestions on high-end products (speakers,amps,subs,etc.) you guys thinks would sound awesome from inside the tundra. and please list everything, my preference doesnt matter right now. thanks.

what price range is "high-end" to you? Can you spend a $5k-6k on the whole system?
I can suggest McIntosh or Genesis amplifiers but if you can't spend a couple grand on amps then it's not useful advice.
give us a rough budget and we can start tossing brands at you.

there is no budget. the top priority is overall sound. but if you know of products that perform similarly at $500 as apposed to $1000 that would help. performance first, throw price out of the window. thanks for your time and help.

there is always a budget.
also - installation is 80% of how good it will sound. don't skimp on the install - pay a professional if you are not fully competent and experienced at building a quality system. no sense in making an investment in gear that isn't being fully utilized.
if you want examples of good manufacturers - look at the Team SoundDomain rides here. the brands/models they use are very good and will give outstanding results, if properly applied. they spend hundreds of hours on the install and more than that tuning them. for a true "high end" system the cost of the installation can rival or surpass the cost of the equipment.
If i had the funds to go all out I would look at either Genesis, Zapco, Audison, or McIntosh for amplification.
Speakers would be 3-way with midbass in the floor, mid and tweeter in pods either in the kicks or apillar (depending on the vehicle). I would try Dynaudio, Hybrid, and Focal.
Head unit would depend on my expectations. Probably DVD capable but with a separate screen (not built-in). McIntosh has a nice simple SQ unit. I also like Alpine, but not sure about their newer stuff.
For a processor, that would depend on what is available. Audison has a slick unit coming out soon. Alpine has some good ones as well - either F#1 or standard H701.
obviously, there are other great brands available, but that's my list. i personally would plan on a $1k-1.5k per amp. at least a grand for my front stage. subs would depend on the vehicle - i'd like to have two sub setups, one for SQ and one for getting loud - that combination could run a grand easy. i would plan on $2k for installation if self performed, probably $4-5k for it professionally done because I can't weld and don't use fiberglass (yet).

additionally; plan on two full layers of sound deadening - second skin or dynamat extreme are good. you can do a midbass in the door, but the floor is best.
you could put a sub or two in a modified center console - those are HUGE in a new tundra. amps could go under the seats for a stealth install.
