Before I begin ... my old system on my lude was a mid-range Alpine HU, infinity references, 12 inch type R and some 350-400 watt Alpine 4ch powering everything.
I was happy .. it did its job well ... then I sold car. Well i want to try to maximize sound quality on my new Accord and came up with this system.
Alpine 9886 HU (already bought)
CDT EF-61 or CDT CL-61a (is there a big diff?) Rockford Fosgate p400 or something similar to that quality/power for comps.
1 12" Alpine type-r 500/1 JL mono for the sub
I can get all of this for about 600-700 which is good for me. I don't want to spend too much. Obviously, I'm not a crazy audiophile but I like to do things right the first time so sound quality is important. Taste in music is hip hop, rock, alternative.
Questions --
1) What better recommending products do you guys think will suit my needs? CLean, crisp low/mid/highs is my goal.
2) Any way I can save money and still maximize the sound quality and performance?
3) Should I care about rears? If so, should I just get decent ones and let my Head Unit power them?
4) The EF stands for EuroFrame in the CDT components. Though, they are 6.5 ... is there gonna be any problem installing them on my Honda accord?
