[QUOTE="tuckermitchell, post: 7830824, member: 643597"] First of all, I'm a long time lurker though this will be my first post. Oh HI! Before I get flamed, I did do some searching for the answer to these questions and got many differing opinions and I wanted to centralize my answers if possible. Here's the deal- I have a 93 Civic beater that I use for travel for work. I drive ~600 miles a week and I'm just trying to upgrade the system a little to improve sound quality while maintaining a low price and a disinterest from others of breaking into my car and stealing my ****. So far, I have the following things that I've collected in trade or bought for a great price over the last month. Pioneer Premier PRS-D2200T Amp 150x2 at 4ohm 300x2 at 2 ohm 600x1 at 4 bridged (Paid $60 bucks for it at an estate sale last weekend. I feel like I did good on this purchase.) Boston G310 10" Subwoofer 4 ohm DVC 375RMS RE RE 12D4 12" Sub (This sub is old, like 5 or 6 years it's been in my basement being unused.) 4 ohm SVC 175 RMS As far as the headunit goes, I'm set on purchasing the JVC KD-X80BT. I don't need a CD player and this will do bluetooth fine. I like the deck and it should have everything included that I will ever need from it. I don't need a very high end deck as far as I see for what I'm looking to accomplish. As far as components, I'd like to find some kind of inexpensive set for the front doors. I've already deadened the doors and they are ready for speakers. I have the panels without the tweeters so I will be adding those in. I would really like to just build a box for the Boston sub, run that off of one channel and then run a component set passively off the others if it is possible. I know the amp has plenty of power, I just don't know if the wiring is able to do this. If this amp won't work to do that, I have an Eclipse 36401 4 channel that I can pickup for $40 bucks off a buddy since he owes me on some parts. I really don't want to go dual amps if possible but if it's my only option I will. I believe that amp does something like 45x4 at 4ohms. Also, if I do go with the 4 channel, that opens up my options for power and I am curious if I can put a set of mid bass in the rear deck and not mess up the sound staging horribly. I'm not a trained ear by any stretch but I don't want this to sound like trash either. Finally, what is a great set of budget components I should look at. I'm open to anything, even used, if they are a good deal and are going to last. Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer these questions. [/QUOTE]
