[QUOTE="lohman, post: 4443598, member: 591310"] First off, let me say that I am pretty new to car audio...I don't plan on doing any of the wiring or installation myself. With that said, I've been thinking of getting a system for my 05 Civic. I've gone to a couple car audio shops, and have gotten estimates of $750-$1000 (for subwoofer, amp, headunit, wiring, etc. - does not include 6 1/2" speakers). I believe the last shop recommended an Alpine head unit with aux/iPod connector and a 10" JL Audio sub while leaving the stock speakers in. My main dilemma is this - I am currently attending college in Atlanta and don't use my car (at least not at the moment). However during the summer I use my car back home. I view a system as an investment in my car - I'm going to have it for a long time. However I don't want to spend a lot of money if technology is vastly improving (ie. I'm not using the car much now - in 1-2 years when I use it year round will technology be much better than it is now?). Any thoughts?
