This a copy of my post in the amplifiers section

I am building my first system my car. I have done lots of research and have come up with this.


Its a 2003 dodge neon.
My budget is about $1000 (+-$100)

I plan on buying this system in three stages as I get paid about $300 to $400 dollars at a time. What would be the best order to buy the components? I have read to get the subs first as they will make the most significant change in the sound quality then fronts and then rears

I listen mainly listen to hip-hop, rap, techno (trance).
Then some classic rock, some metal, and some alternative

I am looking for great SQ let me repeat that SQ is the top priority in this build, but I still would like to be able to turn up the bass to loud levels and really impress people

I want something that will give adjustability especially the bass. Will an amp with a remote give me this adjustability?

This is my list so far but I am willing to completely change it based on your suggestions.

Font speakers-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17563

Rear speakers-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17564

Amp for interior speakers-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19584

Subwoofers:

I am thinking a sealed box (for better SQ) probably pre-made as I currently don't have the tools to make one but I may try to build one if you advise its the best choice.

Probably this one-http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7604_Sonic+Sub+Box-+2H12-1.5.html

I was originally thinking two of these-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17651
or these-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16898
but I got scared because they don't seem too popular and I am not too sure on SQ or general quality

now I am looking at two of these-http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4281_Alpine+SWR-1242D+-TYPE+R-.html
how good is the SQ on these subs?

I am also think two twelves might just be too much bass and I wont be able to hear the music.

would two tens be better in terms of SQ and SPL as far as bang for the buck

I kind like the idea of just one really good 12" I think that would be a little cheaper what would you suggest?

heres the amp I was planning to use wit the type Rs-http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19580

I know Hifonics isnt the best but i have read that they are good bang for the buck


Finally what wires to use? are some brands better than others
I have been looking at -http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?Category=RCA%20Interconnects
but their stuff is really expensive any ideas?

I know this is a long post but I tried to be specific thanks in advanced for any help.

Is it okay to post this here if not I will delete it.

I was thinking I don't need two twelves I was thinking maybe just one really high quality twelve would be better. What do you think?

my 2 cents : 2 12s ported say for ex 2 type Rs usually put out a tom of bass & can sometimes drown out out mids\highs

u can do 2 12s still but do it sealed so its more accurate & less boomy...
