Hello everyone, my name is Brett and it feels great to finally be able to ask these questions (sorry, newbie with new found wealth). I just bought a 2004 accord coupe V6 and want to put an awesome system in it (more concerned with sound QUALITY). I have been envious of friends over the past 10 yrs with good systems. I have recently graduated from college and can install a system of my dreams.
Components currently looking at (better for price please respond)
Alpine IVA-D901 (in-dash monitor)
Alpine NVE-N852A (navigation system)
Focal 165W3 (front fill)
Jl Audio 12W6v2
Amps DONT KNOW (read a lot of + reviews of ZAPCO on this site, which models to run focal up front and which to run sub in trunk????)
I am concerned with the following and need ADVICE????
1. Does anyone know a good installer in the Saint, Louis MO area? (thinking about going to Custom Sounds but heard a few horror stories)
2. What will it cost to install? I am not a DIY!! I would like a clean install, something simple that looks great. Custom made pods for the front and would like a custom box made for the trunk. I will have to have them reinforce my car with dynomat--trunk and doors for sure.
3. Would I need two 12's to get good quality bass?
4. Do I need rear fill in a coupe?
5. Is this a good system?
6. Would I need to upgrade my battery and altenator? Are capacitors really needed?
Thanks for all your Help,
Brett
