What I want:

MP3 Deck.
6.5 inch for doors with dome tweeters.
12s for the box.
Amp to push them all ofcourse

$350 huh. Thats not a lot to work with.

A decent deck that can play MP3's will cost atleast $200

6.5" speakers that won't blow out in a day will be atleast $60 to $75.

That leaves about $75 to $90 for either an amp ( a really cheap one at that) or your subs. Lets face it subs are pointless with out an amp. Very few head units are capable of pushing any sort of subwoofer.

My suggestion is to get your deck first. For anything of a reputible brand its going to eat the majority of your budget.

The next thing I would do is start putting away your penny's and save for the pieces that you know will last and will sound good. huge stereo's are often built in pieces cause the majority of us don't have a huge corporate backing or a bottomless credit card (myself included).

The other option is to completely disregard everything else I've said and do some hardcore ebay-ing. At any rate, good luck in your search.

spend the $350 on a Clarion CD/MP3/WMA deck, and some front speakers, preferably 5.25" or 6.5" and of decent quality.
save more.
then buy rear speakers
then a 5 channel amp
then a sub or two and a box for them.

forget teh subs and tweeters box crap.. they sound like two cats f**king anyway. $350 is way too small of a budget for what you want unless you go with low quality flea market stuff.

nice choices in equipment.
In the accord look at doing this:

deck and EQ in the dash

amps in the trunk with at elast 4AWG amp wiring kit

6.5" in the front doors

6x9" in the rear deck

vent the rear deck to couple air between cabin and trunk (see here: http://www.teamrocs.com/technical/pages/trunk.htm)

bridge the 2 channel amp to mono, and run a single 4 ohm sub in a sealed box.
I'd look at maybe an Eclipse Aluminum series 12" (SW8122.4) or an eD e12K 12"

www.edesignaudio.com

that'd do it for the accord.
tight little system
