Since most of the system are parts left over from my previous car, not much more money is being invested into making it work in the evo... And there's still money left over to put in mods...

I like you am over the whole "how loud can I make my car" thing I did that in high school and now I'm about a good clean sounding system JL subs are the best I have ever heard and even underpowered they still sound better than most other subs around (my opinion) but if you give that bad boy the 1000 watts it wants I guarentee you will be even happier with that sub.

I replaced the stock head unit and speakers after about 3 weeks of having it.
Went with the Kenwood KDC-MPV8025 CD/MP3/WMA Receiver, and I tried two sets of
Alpine SPS-170A 6-1/2" speakers.
Some people think I have a small subwoofer in the car when I turn it up, it sounds great.
My first time with Alpine speakers, and I am impressed.

I replace my deck with the Alpine CDA-9835: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...y=45&p_main=10
Great Unit to work off of. Looking at getting 2-sets of Alpine SPS-170 6-1/2" Type-S Series Coaxial 2-Way: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...=104&p_main=10
And a single Alpine SWR-1241D 12" Type-R Series Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...=150&p_main=10
To power all the speaker going with the Alipne MRV-F450 5/4/3 Channel Power Amplifier: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...=130&p_main=10
Its rated at 50x4 & 200x1. Should be enough. What you all think???

I like the Alpine amp cause it works with the headunit. When the Alpine amp is connected w/ this unit it displays temp and volts... Plus the price. JL 5 ch is a more $$$. But I do like JL.

I bought a Single 12" Kicker L7 solo baric with an Alpine V-12 amp running 325 RMS...then replaced the CD player with a Sony Explode (forgot the model)....i like it a lot...plus its pretty light weight as far as sub setups go.
