[QUOTE="Rhythm, post: 7788547, member: 642682"] Hello! I've been lurking here for a few months after purchasing a 2012 Civic LX Sedan (without the "premium audio system"). It's my first car and while the stock audio equipment is decent, I feel that with as much as I enjoy music upgrading it might be a good choice. As stated in the title, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to this stuff so I have been scouring the internet (various forums, crutchfield, etc.) trying to research and learn as much as I can. So, from what I've researched, I feel that the following is what I need: - Four 6.5" speakers to replace the front and rear deck factory speakers. - One 4-channel amplifier to power those speakers - One (or two) subwoofers. I'm not trying to get people to hear me from a mile away. - A monoamp to power the subwoofer(s). - A box to enclose the subwoofer(s). What I don't know is if I need a separate head unit. Removing the in dash unit seems a bit complicated, but wouldn't I have to remove it anyway to install a "Line Out Converter" if I were to stick with the factory head unit? I don't need something huge and overpowering, just a nice upgrade from the factory stuff. You guys seem really helpful and I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you could pass along to someone who is eager to learn. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
