[QUOTE="Macksamillion, post: 8705422, member: 679704"] I have a stock 2014 Honda Accord Sedan. I plan on building an audio system around my Pioneer AVIC 8200 GPS unit. I don't have any other equipment yet. I am still in the planning stages. However, after much reading many articles and watching many videos, I have made my amplifier selection. I will be going with the Taramps Smart 3. As far as electrical, I plan on doing 0 gauge wiring uprgrades, with an extra battery and capacitor in the trunk. I do not see myself replacing the stock alternator. I don't even know if there are Honda options for that? For bass I want to go with a pair of 12's in a custom enclosure I will likely build myself. I want to be a combination of low and loud. I have no interest in competing. I'm not worried about burping the loudest test tone. I want my car to sound musical. I listen to a lot of reggae. I figure that the two 12's would share about 5 cubic feet in a ported box. The only problem is choosing which ones to go with. The Smart 3 amp will do rated power (3000 watts) at 2-ohm or 1-ohm mono.
