I would rate it a 4...because its not a complete setup. Where is the front stage? that and im not a fan of the new Hifonics stuff. But to each their own.

What are you suprised to see someone buy an hu and subs and no frontstage? All the idiots I know want a blingin hu and the loudest terrible sounding bass they can afford.

What good is a $300 hu doing you? Especially if you have to pay another 45 for an ipod adapter.

if i were you, i would do the frontstage first. nothing beats a strong frontstage, even bass. i love bass but i dont listen to them all the time. most of the time i listen to them turned low, just enough that its there. i really hate shitty fronts that cant keep up with bass. but thats just me.

I think I found the right car audio forum. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ^

I too am a bit annoyed to see my buddy still using his eclipse head deck to drive his stock door speaks WITH two 12's in the back. So much so that I convinced him to get real speakers up front and then got him a 250/4 amp to power them all and helped run all new wire to each door. It sounds soo much better now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I too am not much of a Hifonics fan but at least you got a good deal! What do you think of the iPod adaptor? I helped build a custom solution for docking an iPod in a civic with aftermarket H/U, but it was a lot of work!
