New Guy looking to upgrade from BONE STOCK

I don't mean to be a dick... but everything people tell you to do you don't listen. You're 17 and you've got your heart set on impressing your friends and seem to think your way is better than that of people with high end systems and multiple years of experience.
For instance the Alpine Sub you want is a good sub however it needs a good amount of power. With your budget you can't really afford to power that sub while maintaining good mids and highs. We tell you that you don't need rear speakers and you are being stubborn and wanting to get them. For what? When you go to a concert, movie, show, play, or speech 90% of the sound comes from in front of you. Go look in the mirror which direction are your ears angled towards?

Buy either an Image Dynamics or RE Audio sub they're cheaper you'll be able to power them adequately for you budget. Then invest in a good set of components and power them properly. Since your car is small, this is even better for you because then your passengers will still be able to hear the music. Overall if you just stop being stubborn and listen to all the good advice people are giving you, you'll have a system that sounds two or three times better than what you are trying to throw together.
alright man, well im not trying to impress friends or anything, most of my friends went off to different schools so i won't even be seeing them.

yeah i'll think about leaving the rear speakers out, but i carry passengers often as well.

yeah alright i will brotha thanks

 
Even with passengers, they'll be able to hear everything. some nice comps installed properly on 70-100 watts WILL be loud.

RunninRedline is somewhat right..you don't need to give a type r 800-900 watts for it to shine. it'll work well and get loud on 500

Sorry if that came off a little strong it's just you've got all this useful info in front of you. You were smart enough to come here first and ask for help. I just want to see you use it.

Take it from my own personal lesson. 2 1/2 years ago I bought low end components and circuit city and matching rear speakers. If I would have come on here first I could have just bought a nice set of Focal Components for my front and wouldn't have to be looking into selling my old setup now and buying the Focals.

Unless your rear speakers are completely visible now, then no you wont tell they're gone. You can either just have them disconnected or totally removed. I would remove them and save the minuscule amount of weight, lol.
