New car

First of all I don't know if i am posting in the correct spot, if I am not let me know and I can move it!

anyways currently I drive a 95grand am with 303,000k on it! the km are really high and I will be looking for a newer used car! My question to everyone is what is an easy car where I would be able to run about 5runs of 0/1 or 3 runs of 0/4 to get a 4krms system setup.

The vehicle i am thinking about is a dodge magnum! they seem to have a lot of space in the trunk for subs and looks like enough space to wire a second/third batterie and a soleniod in the setup also!

I guess to restate my question i am asking what would be a good car for car audio? Like big trunk, easy to install wiring, HU the works! let me know what you think!

if you have another recommendation let me mw know!

Kenneth

I recommend an HHR. *obvious bias* You can find a 2006 for around $10,000.
The battery is in the back beside the spare tire(I only needed 2.5' for power wires), theres lots of room for sound equipment, theres a hidden storage bin perfect size for a couple amps, small compartments in the quarterpanels and dash for crossovers, 6.5" speakers in all 4 doors with components up front,
The bad: doing a big 3 upgrade would be tough running a huge wire from the alternator all the way to the battery in the back. Getting a 0/1ga to bend the same way as the factory positive cable could be difficult, I havent had to do mine though, only pushing 900rms.
Have a look at some installs: http://chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3464
