My Future Sound System, Need Opinions..

Here's How I plan to run the system:

Door Mounted Speakers will be powered by the head unit hook-ups.
Component Systems will be mounted in custom made kick panels.
Component Systems will be powered by the alpine amp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FRONT Setup:

Head Unit: Alpine CDA-7894.
Front Component System: Alpine SPR-176A 6.5" Type-R Component System.
Front Factory Door Mount Speakers: Alpine SPR-174A 6.5" Type-R 2-ways.
Front Component System Amp: Alpine V12 MRV-T303 300w 2/1 Channel Amp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REAR Setup:

Rear Component System: Alpine SPR-176A 6.5" Type-R Component System.
Rear Factory Door Mount Speakers: Alpine SPR-174A 6.5" Type-R 2-ways.
Rear Component System Amp: Alpine V12 MRV-T303 300w 2/1 Channel Amp.
Rear Sub-Woofers: (2) Alpine SWR-1241D 12" Type-R Subwoofer.
Rear Sub-Woofer Amp: Alpine V12 MRVT-757 750w 2/1 Channel Amp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXTRA:

Capacitor: (2) Lightning Audio 'Bolt' 1.0 Farad Capacitors.
Battery: Optima Red Top Battery.
Damper: RAAMat. (Fully Coating Car).

ALL wireing and Hookup/Mounting will be proffessionally done by a retail Pheonix Gold dealership near where I live.

If there is anything you think I need to add/remove or should change please respond.. Also any suggestions on if it will sound good, or what will make it sound good please add.. I am about to buy this and would like to make sure it is a GREAT system, Loud, Sound Quality, ETC...

Don't bump stuff..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

Well your system sound too pricey with too many pieces to it!!!!..

All you really need for a regular setup are front component speakers. a good HU, 2 good amps and a Sub or 2.. You don't need added speakers or speakers for your rear door or rear components..it will sound like [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG].... Seeing as you like Alpine alot (i'm guessing here) you couls epnd the extra $$ you woulda used on all them extra speakers for a higher end HU, and skip out on the extra battery.. and get only 1 capacitor.. anything more will become a drain on your system. It's just to prevent light dimming anyhow.

Cheers
Mohawk

Any help to match a system would be great, it doesnt HAVE to be alpine lol i got carried away but most likely I want to go all one brand but if you can match me a nice sounding system and reply or PM me it i would really appreciate it, Also i thought i would mention this system is going into a 4th gen civic.. instead of my 7th gen

JL is a popular brand and my boy has some W713's and hit 180 on the db meter at a crank it up but the W7's are WAAAAYYYY out of my price range hehe but will these bump? all of my close friends dog on JL.. but how can you tell a Pheonix Gold addict, a Kenwood addict, and a Pioneer addict any different? most of my friends hate RF, JL, and all the rest...

The basic of what I want my system is you cant hear anything outside.. but when i crack my window you damn near cant stand by it... good for racing purposes

just a suggestion. if i were planning on going with a pre-fab box, i would buy a virtual technologies box. they are very sturdy and quality made (coated w/ spray-in bed liner product), and produce hella sound. v-tech also makes subs that are built especially for their boxes. i had two v-tech hammer pro 12" subs powered by 500 watts apeice and hit 157 dB. (they can stand up to around 900 watts rms) and that was only turned up about half way. of course my system was stolen when my car was broken into. so, i never found out what their capability was.
