I just won this amp at Ebay $480.00 shipped today.Any suggestion for HU, sub and speaker for $520.00 to keep my system for $1000.00. I just want a good sound to go with this amp for daily driving.
thanks in advance.

Wow.. Nice amp!!!!!..

Subwoofer wise Id grab a Adire Audio Shiva for $125 off ampmanaudio.com


Polk EX components.. $189

$139, Polk DX 6x9's

$199 CLarion DB 715

It's a little over budget..but this all great quality stuff at really good prices.. The HU is rebuilt..but Clarion's R/B HU's all have new faceplates and a better warranty..they had a problem with a large batch of HU's with the CD feeder motors which is what was rebuilt...

Unless you want to just skip out rear fill entirely you can get some better components..but you'll still be a tad over the $1000 budget

Thank's Mohawkboom

I really appreciate your input, before I'll do my first sound upgrade.
Clarion DB 715 = ok
Adire Audio Shiva Sub = ok

Infinity Kappa 60.5 cs =?
Infinity Kappa 692.5i =?
or
Polk EX Components
Polk DX 6x9

I'll go either Infinity or Polk. Just one last Suggestion between the two then I'm all set.
Thank's again.

I recently bought the Polk EX3s and they sound good. It was between Polk's and Infinitys for me as well. I think either is a great choice for the price.
For the rear I put Infinity references. I didn't want to spend to much on my 6 by 9s because I usually keep the back speakers adjusted pretty low. These speakers sound pretty good though. Only problem is that they hit the trunk springs, which I guess is a common problem in civics. According to the cruthfield web site kappa 2-ways are one of the three speakers that can fit in the rear, so these may be a good choice.
