I am thinking something like:
Deck
Sub (2)
Amp
Speakers (2)?

Except not shopping at futureshop.

I ordered my Alpine Deck from here and got it at nearly half the cost Visions wanted for it

I should mention as well that depending the features your car has in it you may be in for some unexpected costs on wiring harnesses. For example I have a 2008 Sierra with Bose system and my wiring harness alone cost an additional 150-200 dollars to keep the onstar and bose running smoothly. Add in the TR7 for another 35 and that's another additional cost if you want to be able to play DVD'S while driving (not the smartest idea but if you want to burn mp3's on DVD you will need to do this)

Also some installs are easier than others, pretty sure your Cobalt speakers will be just screwed in place but I have seen a few where the speakers were rivited in (Newer VW).
