Help!

Firt off Hello. i am new to this site, and new to the whole car audio and mod experience. My car is an 02 Accord EX V6 Coupe. I'm not sure what is good and i am looking for suggestions for products and your reasons why. I am looking for a Hard hitting yet very clean sound that suits both Rock & Rap! Growing up , all my buddies had Rockford Fosgate and i always liked it, but being that i dont know to much, i hate to just go buy something. i would like to think that i could have my car in "show" condition. I cannot afford to go buy all top of the line equipment, but will spend more money where i need to. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions , plz hit me up!

Sorry for sounding ignorant, but what is spl sql sq?

Space, i have done nothing to my vehicle so far. i have not measured trunk space. Price Range- id like to get the most bang for my buck without spending more than $400-$500 on amp and half that for subs if thats reasonable.idk, like i said, im all new to this and i dont really know what i would be looking to spend. i went to best buys today and looked at some prices, but i dont think they have what i might be looking for. and yes, i would love to be able to enter into competitions!, that has always been a dream!

zapco 500.1 and a pair of treo tsi 12"s, great setup.

You could get a nice sub and amp for that price. Only thing if u have alot of power than u would have to upgrade ure electical system. I would say get a orion 2500d. And maybe 2 12" type R's Ported. That would be a good setup

You would still have some left over money. But u need money for wires the box and all that 2. If u want a good built box from some1 then that could cost u 200$ itself.

Spl= Loudness just pure Loudness

SQL= Mixture bewteen SPL and SQ

SQ= Sound Quality

Those type R's can get hella loud in the right install. And sound dam good while doin it.

well i want atleast 2 12's i think @ $150-$200 each( reasonable?) and maybe $400 for amp. im not sure on cost of wires and whatever other components are needed.but honestly im looking to do the whole audio system of the car eventually , subs mids and his, so i dont exactly know what kind of money ill be looking at in the end. i just have to start somewhere. and i want to buy solid gear that i can work with and add to without wishing i had bought something different. and ty for all your advice
