[QUOTE="mudd, post: 7706510, member: 548202"] So it's been several years since I was actively into car audio. I'm now looking to upgrade the system in my 08 Accord. I have some older CDT components from a previous vehicle that were great speakers, and IF I replace the rear speakers it will be something basic - some 2 way speaker. I'm probably going to put a basic 10" powered sub in the trunk, or if I find something I like I'll put a dedicated amp and box in back. I'm not looking for anything crazy or loud, just improving on stock. I'm keeping the stock radio as everything is integrated into it (AC, etc) and plan on using a good quality line-out converter to the amp(s). Question is who makes decent equipment that isn't a fortune? @6 years ago (the last time I built a system) I found a great deal on Cadence amps, and they did fine. I'm staying away from the Crutchfield / Best Buy amps (Kenwood, JL, Kicker, etc). Where's a good place to start for a good 50x4 or so amp, and maybe a 200x1 or so for a woofer? Physical size is also a bit of a concern, as I'm going to try to get at least one under a seat and don't want to kill my trunk but size isn't a deal breaker if the price is right. Any suggestions?
