Hello everybody, Recently got my 2005 civic back from the mechanic after getting the timing belt and water pump changed. To my lovely surprise, when I got into the car for the first time after it getting out of the shop, the head unit would not turn on (Sony MEX-B100BT) (disclaimer: I was not...

Sony MEX-XB100BT hp/lp filters, 3 pre outs 5V, sub out, 10 band eq, all the bells and whistles, I personally think its an amazing deck for my uses. the deck is CEA 2006 compliant so the 40W rms by 4 channels is 100% true

so nobody has still answered the question of whether or not I will be alright if I buy those speakers lol. Im not looking for anything crazy, just something better than my stock speakers, hence why I bought a head unit that put out enough power so that I wouldnt have to go through the hassle of...

would they not be at risk to blow by being slightly underpowered?

are you sure about that lol Sony MEX-XB100BT CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

I have a Sony Deck that puts out 100W peak (40W RMS) by 4 channels. Would I be okay to buy these speakers (Infinity Reference by Harman 6.5" Coaxial Car Speaker (REF-6502ix) : 6.5" Speakers - Best Buy Canada) for my front speakers and not worry about blowing them?

Would you guys recommend spending extra money on a head unit that can power 4 channels at 40-50W RMS to save the cost of buying a separate 4-5 channel amplifier? I would only be looking to be average or slightly below average interior speakers into my car. Here is the head unit I was looking at...

Need a box for my 12" type R and was hoping I could get lucky with a prefab box. Found this: https://www.atrendusa.com/alpine-12-single-slot-vented Would this get the job done in your guys opinion? Or am I going to need to go custom? Heres a link to the specifications by alpine...

if I chose amp A, do I get the 2ohm type R and just run off a 1 ohm final impedance at the amp @ 1000w RMS?

my goal is to get the hardest bumping sub, amp, head unit, and box combo for under $1000

Which amp would you guys reccommend as the best choice to power an Alpine Type R 12" 4 ohms, 1000w RMS, DVC A: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005KW10ES?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB B...

Yeah so I went to my local car audio shop, guy only had pioneer decks *sigh* and tried to sell me some subwoofer and amp kit that was on sale but was some complete random brand, so I didnt stay there too long. The only thing that caught my eye was a JBL 700rms 12" sub that was normally 800 on...

http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg I based what I was looking at off of this diagram and considering the amp would be running on a 2ohm impedance therefor being able to power the subwoofer properly. is this diagram correct or...

looks like im taking a trip to my local car audio shop lol

Im relatively new to car audio, and im looking to put together my first system. I have done A LOT of reading (more than you would think) and I think I have put together a decent entry level system. I have not bought it yet, as I am not sure if it is all going to function together, plus im not...
