[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8677680, member: 660189"] I would guess your not going to enter any sound off's are you. I would take the Pioneer deck. I looked at the specs and it has a 6 ch RCA output with sub with 4 volt. Also plays FLAC high res audio. I don't know about the $500 limit but there are some nice inexpensive equipment you can buy to make good sound. Maybe $500 more or less. Maybe some decent Polk, JBL, Kenwood, Pioneer and other component speakers about $125 give or take. I looked and i think front doors are 6.5 inch and not sure on rear. you can get same matching brand speakers for rear fill. You have a hatchback or coupe Civic. Also get some decent subs like 10's and have a local shop build a nice box. Maybe a 6 ch amp or even a 5 ch amp. Pioneer has nice amps that were bench tested on YouTube. Or a decent 4ch and a 2 ch amp set up, one for the 4 corners and one to the subs. and your set. You can shop on-line to find best deals. When i put together my system i purchased my equipment in parts and not all at once. Took about few months with every paycheck. Took my time to do it right what worked for me. I would just recommend to not cut yourself short on some cheap equipment. If you have to spend a little more for something decent and you will not go wrong. Also an option for you to save money is to look at some Factory refurbished amps. Only Factory refurbished units, not 3rd party units. mean they have been ether repaired to factory conditions or they were even new or open box and they just were returned back and inspected by factory and repackaged and sold.
