Good well rounded stereo.....Ideas?
I am looking into buying a new cd player, 6 1/2" speakers and 5"x7" speakers....What are some good brands that are nice and crisp? And I prefer a cd player to have red lights to match my interior....also Might throw a 10" or a 12" in for sound quality and lil bumpity bump....

It really depends entirely on how much you want to spend.
Obviously the sky's the limit but you can also have a very good sounding system for well under a thousand bucks with a little time spent on research and component matching.

I'm simply looking for a good headunit, and as for speakers, I want good solid lows, and crisp highs......and as far as price: somewhere in the $3-600 range...and I may add a 10" sub for good lows for when me an the misses plug in the DVD player for a nice night out....

I garantee I can build you a nice system for under $600 if you plan on installing everything yourself.
This is what I put in my system all off ebay:
JL 320.4 amp : $140
4 KENWOOD KFC-C6893PS 6x8" / 5x7" 3-WAY SPKRS ( 2 PAIR) : $82
NEW LIGHTNING AUDIO 4 GAUGE DUAL AMP KIT : $40
The benefit with this amp is that its a 4 channel who will take low or high level speaker inputs. It also has a pass thru pre amp output so you can add a sub amp later down the road if you want it.
I chose the kenwood 3 ways because I like a nice all around sound level. I don't like really high highs, and really low lows. I want a nice mid range but I like the high's on these speakers when they are amped.
I used this ...
20' 9 Conductor 18 Gauge Car Audio Speaker/Remote Wire : $20
to make it a nice pro install.
As far as a sub goes, I had a 900w rockford amp and my 10" infinity and they hit pretty hard in my truck. I have the amp at about a quarter of what it'll put out and its pretty loud with the HU's base at about 60%
