Anonymous | Alright, I just turned 16 and i just got my car. (A 93 Honda Accord 4 door se) I am pretty stoke. My First goal is getting a pretty nice system to put in it. the first thing i need is a head unit because as of now my car doesn't have one. Also I am interested in SPl. so i would like to know about the best head unit. i am willing to spend 300 for it. After that i would like to know what u guys think i should do amp and sub wise. i would like to get 2 subs and have one big massive amp powering it. i have a lot to learn but i guess the first thing i have to do is buy the products. rite now money isn't really a concern because i got my accord soo cheap. Please tell me what you think |

You can find really good deals on Ebay and over the internet as opposed to buying and paying retail! How much do you want to spend on amp and subs? and do you want an amp to run your mids and high'sor are you gonna run them off of the deck? are you gonna upgrade your speakers? |

mrfloppy Unregistered guest | alrite thanks for responding James longo. their are a couple things i dont understand about speakers. one thing i do know is that Mono Amps are for subwoofers. The Amp i want to buy for my subs has to be a d class. the thing i dont understand is how do u power your speakers. what kind of amp do u use and how much does that cost. also yes i guess i would have to upgrade my front speakers. Money isn't that much of a problem. but i am looking for the bang of the buck deal. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2223 Registered: Dec-04 | OK well you can run a class D amp for your subs but you dont have to. Typically for your mids and highs you will want to run a class a/b amp. I run class a/b to both my sub and mids and highs. to learn a little more about amps and their classes look into www.bcae.com , I would get a nice set of components for your fronts, and what kind of sub set-up were you thinking? 1,2,or 3subs like the car you showed me? Now you say you are after SPL is tyhat all you want? no sound quality at all? |

Silver Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 230 Registered: Mar-05 | OKay Mrfloppy, we're still going to need to knwo how much you have to spend. If you're mainly into SPL I would look at the RE MT and give it like 2 MTX 1501D's for power. You're also going to want some nice comps for the front doors. Look into CDT, Infinity, MB Quart, Boston, or Dynaudio. They all make great products, it will come down to which one sounds the best to you and for power to those speakers look at the PPI PC/PCX and art series amps for juice. I would look at the PPI A300. As for head units, Pioneer, Alpine, Eclipse and Clarion Pro are all excellent, you're maninly going to want to get the one that is tailored to what you want. Go to an audio store and play around with as many as possible before purchasing one.. I would also buy online because the price is much cheaper. Hope this helps. |
