[QUOTE="Boovila, post: 2190722, member: 570916"] Hello new member here. I drive a 2003 Accord Coupe V6 [IMG]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9726/12mi8.jpg[/IMG] Well recently, I decided I want to get a system done to my car. I want to do it correctly and I want it to sound better than stock. Now mind you I am a total newb when it comes to this though I am really eager to learn. I am an employee at Best Buy so I plan to purchase everything through there with my employee discount. I know they don't carry alot of the high end stuff like JL, but I figuere I'm going to go with Infinity or Alpine. I'm looking for a decent sound system with some kick to it. I am going to be keeping my stock head unit since the head units in the 7th Gen Accords have the built in dual zone climate controls. I plan on going with components in the front, two 6x9 speakers in the back, and one twelve inch subwoofer. For that, I figuere one mono amp and one four-channel amp. This should be enough for me to grin when I'm cruising around. After looking around on Best Buy.com I figuere I'm going to be doing this: Components: Infinity Reference 6-1/2" 2-Way Component Car Speakers w/ Plus One Woofer Cone (Pair) [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730173&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03079&id=1140392384331"]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730173&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03079&id=1140392384331[/URL] Rear 6x9 Speakers: Infinity Reference 6" x 9" 3-Way Car Speakers w/ Plus One Polypropylene Cones (Pair) [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730208&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03077&id=1140392384508"]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730208&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03077&id=1140392384508[/URL] Subwoofer: Infinity 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 8-Ohm Subwoofer [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730155&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03081&id=1140392384210"]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730155&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03081&id=1140392384210[/URL] Amps: As for amps, I really have no idea what to look for. All I know is I want to do one Mono Amp for the subwoofer and one 4-Channel Amp for the components along with the rear deck speakers. If you guys have any tips or anything as for what Amps I should go with, please let me know. These are the amps bestbuy carries: [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?navLevel=4&type=category&navHistory=cat00000%2Bcat03000%2Bcat03064&id=cat03084"]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?navLevel=4&type=category&navHistory=cat00000%2Bcat03000%2Bcat03064&id=cat03084[/URL] I also realize I am going to need to upgrade my battery since the one I have now makes the headlights and interior lights dim when I try to turn it on now and I have the stock system in now lol. I know the obvious choice is Optima, but has anyone tried out the Duralast ones? And I am going to be getting it installed by the techs at best buy, so as far as wiring goes, I'll just ask them what I need since we get a great deal on wiring along with Car Audio itself. I know the Alpine Type R's are also a good choice and I'll also be looking at them too. Is there a big difference from the Infitity's I posted and the Alpine Type R's? So please, if you have any tips on the parts I should go with, please let me know. Thanks [/QUOTE]
