[QUOTE="velko, post: 491499, member: 555848"] Hi - I have a 97 Accord and wanna build my system up. I'm a newbie but I've done some speaker installs before so I know the lingo just a bit. Won't do the install myself. I'm gonna buy the stuff and have a shop put it in because I have NO time. Want to get your opinions as to what I need to get. I like rock music so I don't need to be shaking buildings with the subs - just want GREAT sound. New HU - Pioneer 6 1/2" components in front door with tweeters mounted on sail pillars 6x9 on rear deck sub in the trunk Questions: 1 - what size/type amp do I need for all this since I'm guessing I won't be powering ANY of the speakers off the HU - please recommend some brands. I do have an old Sony 2 channel MX250 - can I use this for the fronts? 2 - what wattage would you suggest for all the speakers? Do the rear ones need more power from the amp to balance out the sound since I'm closer to the front speakers? 3 - where would you put the amps? 4 - do I have to worry that my alternator won't provide enough power? 5 - wire! what size, type? The shop uses the stock wire from the HU to the speakers - is that OK? 6 - any questions to ask the shop - or can you recomm a good install place in L.A.? Any other suggestions APPRECIATED! Thanks! If you can keep me in the neighborhood of $800 that would be great! And I don't mind buying used stuff on ebay. [/QUOTE]
