i guess get a used pioneer cd player (the ones with the oel display) .
mayb some kenwood 6x9's along with a power acoustik amp for running the speakers. and as for the woofer setup, try finding the old jbl 15" gti . and hook it up with Kole audo Q2 620 amp. and get a box not less then 4 cubic foot.

i have somewat of this setup and i am satisfied with it

If you're willing to spend that much on a system, have a pro do it all at once. Most will cut you a huge discount, since they will do it all at the same time.

If I had that much to burn:

1. professional sound deadening $150
2. alpine head unit (with at least 3 sets of outputs) $150
3. infinity 6.5 component's and 6x9's $250
4. small 4-channel amp for interior speakers (400W) $150
5. 2-channel amp for subs (800W) $150
6. two 10" subs (whatever brand the like) $150

It won't be a competition system, but it will sound great.

get kicker subs, you wont regret it. Ive had one kicker comp vr back then that got stolen, now I have 2 sony xplods 12" and l et me tell you this, the single kicker 12" hit way harder than my two sony xplods. Not harder but much better bass.

hey bro, i'm selling a pair of Kicker S12L7s (SoloBaric 12"s) for $300...they're fu(kin LOUD...i was pushing them with a Kicker KX1200.1, and they set off car alarms across parking lots...that amp was $800 alone, but before that i had a Hifonics BX1500D pushing them ($270 on eBay)...the Hifonics is an AWESOME amp, and it slammed the $hit out of the SoloBarics, i just wanted an all-Kicker system, so i switched to the KX1200.1...the subs are $350 each new, so $300 is a pretty good deal...hit me up with a PM for more info if you;re interested...here's a pic:

what are your goals of this set-up?

if i 1g...
deck: some nice pioneer or alpine mp3
subs: 2 15" Kicker L7 or 12" ^like above
box: ported enclosure by kicker or custom made one built to specs
amp: hifonics brutus bx1000
4 gauge amp wiring kit'
batcap 800 or optima yellow top
and definately the "big 3" upgrade


sounds like you want that SPL, heavy bass, etc, 2 good 15" subs, 1 RE XXX 15" or even 2 good 12" woofers can do the job.

I think you should consider Cushman's offer. Those L7s sound like what you want.
The big 3 upgrade is upgrading the size of your car's 3 main wires to increase the strength and durability of your car's elec system. 3 preouts mean you power amps seperately for front, rear and subwoofers. Basicaly it would allow you to control the settings for your subwoofers on the deck just to your sub. It would give you like a subwoofer level control to turn up and down the bass response. I don't like Panosonic decks. Look into Alpine or pioneer IMHO.

dude, have you been stalking me?...in my first setup i had an Alpine deck, the pair of S12L7s, a "custom made enclosure built to specs", Hifonics BX1500D, 4ga amp kit, BatCap 800, Optima Yellow Top, AND the Big 3 upgrade...haha...nice to see that you would have approved...

Optima Yellow Top is a deep-cell battery that will replace the stock battery and definitely help with your electrical issues (mostly when playing the system with the engine turned off)...BatCap 800 is a battery/capacitor hybrid that KICKS A$$...search for one on eBay and read the specs for more info, and i DEFINITELY recommend buying one...

MOSFET is short for "metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor" if i remember correctly...just means that the internal amplifier is more efficient than a non-MOSFET amp...

"3 outputs" has already been explained above...definitely recommended because you can individually control bass/treble to each set of speakers (front/rear/subs) instead of affecting all the speakers at the same time (for example, you can turn the bass to your subs without turning up the bass in your door speakers and blowing them)

and i love Panasonic decks...i've had 2, and i love them both...and if you have a Civic sedan, the Day/Night faceplate glows blue like our gauges do, and it looks bada$$...and if you buy any of the Hifonics amps, the Hifonics logo on the front lights up blue, so all your $hit will match ...the model i currently have is the MXE CQ-C8400U, which you can get from Crutchfield.com right now for $249.99...if you decide to buy this from Crutchfield, PM me first and i'll send you a code to save you some money when you order it...here's a pic of the dash/head unit/L.E.D.s/etc...good luck with your system!
