Well...two different ones. I'm looking for a Kenwood decal that's large enough that when I put it on either my windshield or my rear hatch, it'll be visible from 50 feet away. But I definitely don't feel like paying 20 bucks for one. And a honda decal would be nice too. Any recommendations as to where to look? I might get a pack of 3 9" x 1.5" kenwood decals for like 3 bucks.

Here are my final picks. I'm leaning towards the hifonics subs because they are cheaper, but I also like the SPL subs I found. Amp #1 = Crunch p1500.1 (RMS 750 x 1 @ 1ohm here) Amp #2 = Power Acoustik BAMF-2000/1D (RMS 1200 x 1 @ 1ohm here) Subs #1 = Hifonics B12D4 (600W RMS, Dual 4-ohm here) Subs #2 = SPL SP2-12 (600W RMS, Dual 4-ohm here) I'm leaning towards the PA amp as it will hit the RMS of both subs w/ 1200 watt RMS, and it's peak output is well below the max of both subs. What do you guys think? Good setup? And I'm thinking a ported box with a 3" diameter port tuned to 34hz with a volume of 2.6 ft^3 (31 x 14 x 14. It's the best I can do with the shitty cargo space I have in my car.) made out of 3/4" MDF. The biggest box I could fit in my car is 32.5 x 15.5 x 14, and that's stretching it.

I have taken wiring and what not into consideration. I found a nice wiring kit that gets what I need done. I'm going to try and get by with my stock alternator, might throw a capacitor on there as well (if that'll save the electrical system). Speaker wiring isn't even going to be considered. I've working on home audio before, so I have a massive spool of quality wire. I thought about the CVR's, but I decided against them a long time ago. Again, Pioneer or Hifonics for the subs? I can get either of them for below 100 bucks each.

I've broken my list down even more. I'm stuck between the following: Subs: Hifonics ZX12D4/ZX12D2 or Pioneer TS-W308D4/TS-W308D2 (DVC 4 ohm/DVC 2 ohm) RMS values = 500 for the Hifonics, and 400 for the Pioneers. Amps: Autotek SM1-1000 (1kw RMS @ 1 Ohm), Crunch P1500.1 (750w RMS @ 1 Ohm), or Crunch P1000.1 (500w RMS @ 1 Ohm). Do remember that I'll be getting two subs and preferably wiring them at 1 Ohm which should be all that hard. EDIT: Sealed or ported?

Not to mention new speakers. I mean, I've been in loud cars before...but nothing that's absolutely WTFBBQ loud. If I crank my stereo up loud enough, it actually feels like I've got tiny little 8's in the back. I'm impressed with what my cars stock stuff can put out. I think they are 20W RMS 40W peak. Which is crappy...but hey, they're stock. EDIT: What's your opinions on RF P2 subs?
-
RMS values...alright. I'll see what I can find. Mid & Treble isn't much of a concern right now. For the time being, I'm going to stick with my stock speakers which can handle the power load that my new receiver will put out. Once they fry themselves or I shove a screwdriver through them in anger, I'll replace them and possibly upgrade with a 4 channel amp.

Alright then...here's what I want to get to save some cash: amp = http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11671_...ch+P1500.1.html sub x 2 = http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12409_...nics+B12D4.html Or I can get the two RE's. If I do go for the RE's, it looks like I'm going to have to bust my ass over the next month or so to gather up the cash for them. I'd love to have the RE's, it's just that they're a tad bit out of my budget. I mean, I am 16 who's got a website to run, two others to moderate, soccer to deal with, ebay to manage, and a life of my own. Mind sliding me a couple hundred bucks? My questions are: 1) Will that amp do nicely with either of the subs I have listed? 2) Will my cars stock 95 amp alternator be enough to supply power to the amp, new head unit, and charging system?

Alright...by the end of the summer, I'm planning on getting a system for my car. Already on my list is a 220 amp alternator for it (a 1998 Honda CR-V). Now, I'm a VERY tight budget so get a massive amplifier is out of the question along with big high powered subs. What I have planned so far: Alternator = Power Bastards 220 amp for Domestics and Imports (Fitzall-220) Subs = 2 x Hifonics B12D4/2x Hifonics B12D2 or 2 x RE Audio SE12 (if those are even out there still) Amp = (if I go with the Hifonics subs) 1 x Hifonics BXi 2010D or (if I go with the RE's) 1 x Hifonics BXi 2608D Receiver = 1 x Pioneer DEH-P6000UB This will be my first build, so any and all help would be awesome. I'm leaning towards the RE's, but I'm not entirely sure yet. Fi, Rockford, and the higher end Kickers, unless I can find a good ass deal are out of the question.
