New sound system for minivan - need suggestions

 

Unregistered guest
Hi,
I have a Ford Windstar minivan, and have decided to get a new sound system for it. My budget is 500-1000 USD, and I'm looking for suggestions.
Here's what one friend suggested:
2 Rockford Fosgate 10's in box
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6252342&type=product&cmp=++&id=106 9302293352

1 Pioneer 760 watt amp
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6982045&type=product&cmp=++&id=109 9388426171

Pioneer in dash radio
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6981359&type=product&id=1099388424 834

2 Pioneer 6" midrange speakers
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6196001&type=product&cmp=++&id=106 7391222748

Which ends up being about $500.
Also, how much would professional installation of this cost?

Another friend suggested that since its a minivan, it has plenty of space, so I should put in "2 15's and a few 10's".
Comments suggestions? Thanks!
I'm turning 17 on the 23rd of sept, so this is a b-day present for myself, and since I've never done this before, I am fairly clueless, so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

(2) Alpine Type R 12" subs- $240 (ebay shipped)
(1) Soundstream XTA880.2 amp- $210 (ebay shipped)
(1) Pioneer DEH-P7700MP HU- $210 (Ebay shipped)
(1) Focal Access 165A Speakers- $220 (ebay shipped)
(1) eclipse EA2212 amp- $100 (Ebay shipped)

(1) great cheap system- priceless

Then save up another $100 for isntall supplies and build your box and learn how to install everything yourself.

-BTW i came up with this in like 30 seconds, so dont criticize how i could have gotten better prices or better stuff for the money lol

Just little tidbits... Don't buy from best buy because they overprice everything... that being said. Look online for these things (awesome products, awesome deals look at ebay). The subs are pretty good.
My picks for a system like yours:
Pioneer 3 ways ($40 on ebay)
2 RE12's (reaudio.com) $130 for both. Sealed box- $75
Pioneer PREMIER (better overall) 470MP- 150-200
Kicker 350.2 amplifier- 135

That is $555 and an awesome system for a budget system. That is very close to what mine is and I love it.
