[QUOTE="musical_high, post: 7577687, member: 638284"] Don't know what kind of vehicle yet. I'm moving and with the holidays and registering for school my schedule is tight right now, but I'm hoping to have another car in the next couple weeks. I'd like an acura integra but I dunno. I'm not into modding cars that were never meant to go fast, I just like the gas and reliability for the price. But I dunno. My budget was 1000 but I after some thought I am willing to go to 2k. I will check out the soundproofing faq. I am loathe to buy used woofers as I am a cynic and would think there was something wrong with it, being such a delicate part. I would be up for a used HU though. I tried having a go at the DIY woofers but they are all names I have heard nothing of nor have I heard firsthand. If there was a site that had 40+ reviews for any given component I would think differently but just surfing forums turns up only a few entries for any given diy woofer. I realize there is great potential there in terms of quality and savings, but I am wholly unfamiliar with it. Thanks for the list, I'll check those pieces out and compare to my currrent choices. 3 amps does sound overkill, especially since I don't like especially loud music. I do like loud music but only if it isn't harsh. I know those are good amps and I want a good sound. Unfortunately active setup hogs channels. Ideally I don't want to replace anything unless I get jacked or in a car accident for the next 8 years or so. I have a proclivity for endless tweaking and I've decided I don't want to do that. I'll put in the time to tune the initial setup and after that I don't want to think about it much. I appreciate the replies. And please feel free to criticize. When its done and I have to justify the pricetag to myself, I want to know that I was as critical of my choices as I could be. [/QUOTE]
