New Guy here/Need help picking out a "system"

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Hey everyone, I decided it was finally time to make a post. I've been lurking around here for the last couple months, and this site is no doubt the best for anything car audio. I decided I would become a member when I needed help picking out my system.

Yesterday was the last day of high school for me, and it's time to get a new car. I really have my eyes on a '93-'95 Acura Legend.

Figured it was time for a new "system" for the new ride.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif

Right now I have...

-Phoenix Gold R:08 (something like that) 4-channel, 80 watts x 4 @ 4-ohms

-Clif Design 6 1/2" components

And that's pretty much it. I use to have a couple infinity subs in a pre-fab box, but I sold it to save up for the new system.

Oh and I just ordered an Eclipse CD-4000 headunit from Crutchfield about an hour ago.

I'm not a noob when it comes to car audio, but I'm not an expert either....This is what I'm looking to spend

-$200-$250 for new components, I will most likely use the Clif components for rear fill

-I already know about KnuKonceptz for all the wiring

-$300 for sub amp

-$300-$400 for sub(s)

-Raam mat sound deadener, about 150 sq ft probably

I'm really looking for a great sound quality set up. I want components that have good midbass, with nice warm highs too. I love the highs on my Clif Design components, they just don't give as much midbass as I'd like.

For the sub(s) I want deeeeeeeep, clean, accurate bass that sounds great when I listen to Tom Petty, but also has the ability to get LOUD when I listen to Young Jeezy.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

I'd appreciate it if any of you could help me pick out a system for me.....

Thanks alot. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

If you drive what your screename implies then you must post pics. i demand them.

oh and you might want to post a little more info about what you want. i.e. number of subs, wattage, etc.

rainbow slc 265 kicks for the components in front:

two people in this forum sell them. Their screen-names are premieraudio (Aaron) and 6spdcoupe (Don). Both are very good people and you can't go wrong with either of them.

Secondly, How many subs do you want?

I would go with 1 IDMax 12 sub off a nice 1000rms amp, dont give it much more, but I know a couple that put 1500rms fine to them, although most say dont go more than a 1000. Maybe a Memphis class d1000, should suffice. For highs, the guy above me hit the nail on the head, good choice there. Box, would be up to you. I love the sound of sealed myself, but that sub sounds good in both enclosures. Have a good deck and good wire, so should be set and be around your price range.

Thanks for the help guys.

The Legend has a full size trunk, so I have plenty of room to work with. I'd prefer to have 2 subs, but I suppose 1 will do if you guys think it will get plenty loud enough....

Also could you link me to a site that sells those speakers? And how much power would I want to send at them?

I would personally go with 2 12" Copper coil SSD's with Dual 1 coils.

Good budget amp

Throw them in a 4ft^3 NET enclosure tuned to 32hz

And sit back and enjoy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Would the Fi subs give me the deep accurate bass I want?

How about Alpine Type-X components? I can get them brand new for like $200 shipped on ebay. Only thing I don't understand is "bi-wire" inputs for the crossovers.....
