[QUOTE="Vausen, post: 368182, member: 552252"] Here is a little more mud for the waters. I'd hold off on the electrical upgrades to see how your system does stock. I've got an '89 Prelude with a stock alt. that does just fine with 200W up front and 1100 to my sub. I only dim a little bit if I crank it all the way up. I've heard some people say a cap. will help with just minor dimming and you won't be out $500. Make sure to upgrade the magic 3 wires under the hood, +alt to +batt, neg. batt to engine block, engine block to frame. I installed 8 gauge on each and left the stock wire. No one has suggested a 12A from Elemental Designs yet, edesignaudio.com. I've got one and love it! Very loud and good SQ sealed. I plan on porting it and I've heard you loose very little SQ but gain big time on the SPL. Dual 2ohm, 1000Watts and looks awesome IMHO. One last thing. I'd read some more reviews on front components. The CDT's sound great and are cheap but lots of people say higher end Focal or JL XR lines sound better (but cost more). Do you want in your face tweets or more laid back? CDT's are laid back on axis type speakers. Depends what you want. [/QUOTE]
