Default new to audio/video need help

ok here is my problem

1.i have a set of around 600 to get started with my audio build. Looking for just some good sound and a little bit of bass.. i listen to rap,rock,etc no country or emo stuff.....

2.i never really bought any aftermarket radio stuff, i read up on it but never really had a car i liked enough to put some "bang" in it. Was always into motorcycles, so never really thought about upgrading my daily driver.

3.basically i dont know what to get, i know i want to upgrade my factor speakers (non bose) and get maybe one 10-12in sub but then ill need something to back it up like an amp and decent head unit and a zen box.

4. no idea how to install, i can probably figure it out but you guys are the experts so you might be able to throw some advice my way.

thanks ahead!

well it will probably be closer to $1000 than his orginal $600

again labor not included

i feel that for $1000 it is a hell of a starter system , and better than most
