[QUOTE="HunterTTP, post: 8643747, member: 675119"] Hope this post is in the correct location. I have a stock 2016 Honda Civic EX Sedan. It has the 4 stock 6.5in speakers (no sub) running off the stock head unit. I am very new to car audio, but I know I want to swap the 4 speakers, add an amp and add a sub in the trunk. I am going to have a good local audio shop do the installation, but I would like to buy the parts myself to cut costs and ensure I am getting a good setup for the price. I listen to mainly to EDM, chillhop, rap and other bass-heavy music at mid-to-low volumes. Currently my system has pretty good punch for being OEM, but lacks low-end and the highs can be piercing. Definitely looking for something warmer and with more bass - but I'm not looking for it to be very loud and definitely am not trying to have people hear my music when my windows are rolled up at a stop light. Ideal budget is $1000 total for the system. But that is assuming a 3 hour install at $80/hr so $240 in labor which leaves $760 for components and wire (not really sure how long an install takes?). I have been suggested the [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VCK7WK/?coliid=I10IY91519COYG&colid=1ILRNBUQCUZXE&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it"][B]HERTZ HCX 165s[/B][/URL] for the 4 speakers, and I know I want the whole system ran off a single amp, but I'm not sure which amp. I also know I want a 10 in ported sub, about the same size as [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004V9CZB8/?coliid=I3BGMZ7QA3HQ15&colid=1ILRNBUQCUZXE&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it"][B]this one[/B][/URL] - but I don't know if this is a good choice for this system. Hope this was enough information. Any help is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
