What I am going to buy

[brianjoy77]

As you can see I am new and I just got my first car. I want to have a system so here is what I am thinking about buying so far, any input on what looks awful (or is too much money) would be awesome. By the way, this is going in a 2000 Honda Accord Coupe and I listen to hard rock/metal music.

Deck:

Click Please

Front/rear Speakers:

Not sure yet, any suggestions would be nice

Sub (I am only taking one, keep that in mind):

Click Please

Amp:

Click Please

That is all I got so far, I was going to pick up the subs on Sunday so I really need help there, do they look ok for the price? Should I get something smaller (900 watts is a lot).

If anyone helps me, I would really appreciate your time. I just got my first car and I really want to put my money to good use here.

Thanks!

What's your budget? Those subs/amp are not good for the money.

 

[Scoobydoo 5,000+ posts]

i think you linked to the wrong sub, that is an audiobahn and nobody in their right mind would buy one of those

 

[brianjoy77]

I have money but I am not going to blow $500 on just a sub and amp. So what do you recommend for lets say $300 (sub and amp)?

 

[Scoobydoo 5,000+ posts]

tons of options for that price, just dont choose anything audiobahn

Sub: 12" Alpine Type R 4 ohm DVC.

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=203025600&listingid=29646072

$131.55

Amp: Alpine MRP-M500.

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=208105574&listingid=41813644

$150.09

These prices include s&h, and they're from the first place I looked. You can probably find this stuff cheaper elsewhere.

these things slam hard even wired at 4 ohms:fyi:

 

[brianjoy77]

So should I purchase these (I look on eBay cause you can get 10% cashback).

Subs

Again I will only use one, the other is for my sisters boyfriend for his birthday (his sub was stolen).

Amp

I know I am asking a lot from you guys (but you saved a kid from buying some shitty subs) but what do you recommend for front/rear speakers on a $200 budget (I would rather spend less though)?

Again thanks everyone for all your help.

As far as speakers... I'd suggest you amp them and get Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5s for the front, and remove your rear speakers from the rear deck...

I am just recapping because every time I do, I get another answer.

Type R 12" and the m500 ftw. Those 2 are a perfect match. The M500 is a powerful mofo for the footprint size, its like 8 inches wide or something.

That Audiopipe amp isn't necessary for a single Alpine Type R. Why on earth would you want to give a single 10" Type R 1,500 watts continuously?

Stick to the Alpine MRP-M500 amp and a single 12" Type R 4 ohm DVC. They'll match up perfectly.

EDIT: Just noticed that you want to get your friend a sub too...

I've got a panasonic CQ-RX400u headunit for sale for pretty cheap if your interested.

specs here:

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_133CQRX400/Panasonic-CQ-RX400U.html?tp=5684&tab=features_and_specs

Also someone on here is selling 2 pairs of dreamline rainbow coaxials. He wants to sell them both at the same time but I only need 1 pair. So if you want to buy the other pair they're a great deal.

And I have a pair of infinity references 6822cf for sale

As well as 2 12'' kicker CVR's.

As for an amp, i'd suggest a sundown. reasonably priced amps and great quality. Try db-r.com for them.

pm me if interested in anything

the rainbows would be good if you plan on amping your cabin speakers.

references are 2 ohm (4 ohm stable) so they would be better if you just plan on running headunit power to your cabin.

 

[brianjoy77]

The continued support for the M500 and the 12" Alpine means that is what I am going to get (sorry SocialStealth). Thank you guys this has saved me a lot of time and money! I will be back when they are installed (that part I have covered, although what wire should I buy?). I can't wait to try these all out.

Just one last question before I go, do these look ok? No one said anything about them:
