[QUOTE="mebens, post: 6990140, member: 588773"] before you go and spend $180 for a new type-r, take a look at the classified section on this site. I know it can look a little crazy when you go in there and see all the different company names and abbreviations, so just take it slow. I say this because you are thinking about spending $180 on a new type-r but you can find one in the classifieds here for $80 shipped. [URL="http:////forum/car-audio-classifieds/487868-%2A%2A%2A%2A-im-crazy-like-new-d4-type-r-12-%2480-shipped.html"]LINK[/URL]. I am kinda with you when you say you play your music for you and your friends, not everybody else. I personally have a 10" Fi SSD in a 1.2cu. ft. ported box (don't remember what i tuned it to, i think 33hz) powered by a Rockford Fosgate p3001 and it sounds great to me (gets the mirrors shaking a little, but not falling down). This setup cost me a little under $300 including wires and such. Idk much about double din headunits to be honest. But you can get a decent single din unit with a dash install kit to take up the extra space and be under your max budget. You can look up box specs for pretty much any sub on the manufactures website. The most common box building material is medium density fiberboard (mdf) and 3/4" - 1" is usually used for moderate power setups. Box building is easy for what you're going to need; pretty much just a 1cu. ft. box with a hole to mount the woofer. 8 gauge power wire is enough for a single type-r setup, but if you plan on upgrading in the future it's probably best to go ahead and install 4ga. or bigger. If you get the sub in the link i provided, you'll need an amp that does 500w rms at 2 ohms, i'm sure there's one of those for sale in the classifieds too. I hope this helps a little. I know its messy, but i'm getting ready to go home from work after a 13hr shift. Good luck with you're new system build. [/QUOTE]
