[QUOTE="JTJimmy24, post: 8686282, member: 678225"] Hello everyone. I am new to both car audio and also this forum. Firstly, I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I'll just post it here first. I have a 2012 Honda Civic EX Sedan and I'm looking to upgrade the audio in the car. I am a junior in high school currently. I am the youngest child and am using the family car. I will have it for sure the next two years until I graduate and possible in college if they decide to keep the car instead of selling/trading in. That being said, my budget is pretty cheap. Since I may only have it for two years and am only making money from a part-time job, I'm allocating up to $200 for the build. I'm obviously not looking for a high-end system at all. In my car (Complete factory system), one of the front door 6.5" speakers rattles when volume goes up to 50%. After I noticed that, I decided to upgrade the system as a whole since, besides the rattling problem, the sound quality isn't good at all. I listen to mostly rap music and some other genres as well. The bass is going to be important. However, I am not looking for it to be very heavy in bass. I want to easily be able to hear the highs and mids of a song. Also, I like to blast the music as most people do. I want it to be pretty loud. I don't need 103 dB loud, but I want it to be loud enough to drive with windows down and can clearly hear the music. I've been wanting to do this for a couple of months now, but I wanted to wait for Black Friday because I knew it would be very hard to get a $200 system without sales. Forgot to mention, I am not intending on getting rear speakers at all. I don't think it will be worth the extra money. And as much as I want bass, if I cant fit a sub woofer in my budget I will probably pass on one for now. I'll post what I've come up with. I need to see if the parts I currently have will work together and in my car. I've been using the "Fit my car" on Crutchfield and sonicelectronix when coming up with this list.
