[QUOTE="EviLLLLSiNz, post: 1408248, member: 565700"] this is my first setup, so any suggestions will be considered. It is for a 94-01 acura integra if that matters. I'm also on a tight budget so here it is: Stock headunit Stock rear speakers Pioneer TS-A1680R Coaxial in front 12" Alpine Type E or 12" Infinity (1000w+) Then im sorta iffy on the amp... i heard that orion is good for amps, and that factory refurbished is just as good if not better than new... i'm really confused on the whole 4 channel thing and whatnot. shoudl i look for a 4 channel bridgeable amp then use 2 channels to power the front speakers and the other 2 to power the sub and have the stock headunit power the rear speakers? or should i get a mono amp for the subs then another 2 channel for the fronts? i read the article on clipping and i still dont really know what that means either. help is greatly appreciated. i chose the alpine type e or infinity because im not too concerned with the bass being heard from a block away... a few cars away is good enuf [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] i dont wanna lose my hearing. hopefully as you can tell i have done some homework but i still dont understand.
