[QUOTE="HoneyBadgerRy, post: 8617718, member: 667692"] So this is the start of my thirdish build, I finally fell like I know what im doing but more in a sense that I finally know enough to know how little I know. I'm still in the planning stages and figured I'd get some input before the build actually starts in a month or two. What I've done so far. I have an alpine PDX-F4 that I plan on bridging 2 channel 200 watts rms to each door (left over from a previous build). And I ran a positive lead from the battery to the back of the car with plenty of slack rolled up to put my amps wherever I want. (All fused and tied down properly). I also have the metra dash kit and harness adapter. Budget: I have $1600.00 in amazon balance so I plan to pay for most of the build on that, but if I need to spend cash I have plenty of that too, buy once cry once with this car, nothing cheap. I'm thinking of using a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX for a head unit. The AXXESS ASWC-1 is the go to for the miata. Not sure what processor to run if any, heard good things about the alpine series, but I've never used a quality one, and I don't know if I need one, most head units im looking at have parametric 9-14 band eqs with time correction. Speakers and Sub I don't have planned out at all yet. Factory setup is 8" woofers in the door with separate tweeters in the top of the doors, and some useless 3" speakers in the back. I've seen both 6.5" adapters and 8" woofers be used, I'm planning on using a 6.5" component set (be it Alpine type X or Hertz HKS or something else). Also not sure what I want to do sub wise. I could place a 8" in each of the rear glove boxes, or I could take up some of the small trunk space, We'll see. After much experimentation I found rear sound-stage useless if you have a sub, so I'm not wasting any money on rear speakers. Any input is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
