Mine is almost done but i cant post pics on the board yet. If you look in the pics section for the 2nd CT meet you can see a little bit but not a good picture.

inflikti0n,
It will probably sound pretty good, but Sony subs are not more than entry level, and Kenwood amps aren't either. You have two 4X6" up front?? Are you custom fabricating pods for them, or just drilling them into the doors... because I was pretty sure that all of the Accords came with undersize 6.5"s baskets in the doors.
And if that is 4 amps (if I read that part right) then you are going to need an upgraded alternator to keep up. Even if it's just two amps (a 350 watt and a 600 watt) you are going to need an upgraded alternator... NOT Caps or another battery or whatever, those will not prevent your alternator from burning out.

wow... ya I really would not put those four amps on there man....lol.. damn.... thats crazy... you should really try to consolodate some stuff... such as you are not going to need 700w max to run 4 speakers that probably dont handle any more then 160w max... lets say for example that you use all of the amps + lets say a 200w head unit... thats umm a max. wattage of 2100 watts... ??? lol... all I can say is d a m n....... good luck man... dont sit in the car when you turn it on the first time....

just so you know.... Im running a 240w alpine h/u pushing four 6inch pioneers... with a 400w interfire amp pushing 2 12's.... and a 100w fosgate punch amp (rated 145w) pushing 2 6x9's inbetween the 6's on the rear deck... thats a max of 785w ... and I desperatly need a power cap... just so you have something to compare to....

i don't have a picture right now. i am trying to remount my amps. they are upside down in the trunk under the rear dash. i know it is not good for them, but i was in hurry to get the system running. plus so far it never overheated even in 120 deg temperature.
but anyway here is what i have:
HU: alpine CDM-7871
http://www.epinions.com/613467_Alpine_CDM_7871_CD_Receiver/display_~reviews
Speakers: 2way alpine speakers all the way around.
http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=SPS1729S
amps: Alpine MRP-M200 1 Channel
http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=MRPM200
Alpine MRP-F200 360W 4 Channel
http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=MRPF200
Sub: Alpine SWS-1241 12"
http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=SWS1241
custom 4G wiring, all the connections are goldplated.
System is pushing around 310Watt right now without getting warm.

Thanks i will learn how to do that someday. I have done it all myself not done with it because i started to rush and it wasnt coming out perfect so i stopped. I like the rack in the floor everything is flush and it is intended to be hinged so i can access the spare. I may change to carpet because i think its too much black but the car is gonna be white. I recently came up with an idea to make a rack on the trunk lid but it will require gas shocks to lift it. I have seen it done before but not 3 amps. I will finish it all over the winter while im driving my other accord. I also need a new head unit so i may switch cd changers depending on brand of head unit.

just to let you guys know.. i didnt buy all this stereo equipment.. if i did i would read up and make sure i know what im doing but my friend GAVE me all of this.. unused in the boxes..
87DXHatch
yeah i just unscrewed a couple of screws on the door panel and took out to baskets.. and used a dremel(sp?) tool to drill them in..
also, would i have to goto a honda dealership to get the alternator? and thanks man i appreciate the info i never thought about the alternator.. im no good with stereos..
87AccordsterLx
do you think i should just get rid of one of the 350w. and have one 350 for my front and rear speakers?
RobT5580
that looks nice as hell man, good job

350 watts is lots. it will be super loud with that much... i have a 1000 and it is way too much for everyday use but i run it almost all the way down.
Travis
ps... i have 4 farrads of caps. it took twenty mins to charge them. i also had my friends duelly jumpin my car so it would go faster. they work tho.

nice system guys, just watch out someone might just come by and take all the fun out of u by having a nicer system. (hint hint hint) hahaha, just kidding. nice going buddies.

I honestley don't think 350 watt's is all that much. I've got a 250 watt amp powering my low profile 6.5 in the front and a 760 watt amp for the deeper rear speakers. and then a 1600 watt amp hooked up to the sub in the trunk. I can't Imagine why you would need a 4 farad cap for a thousand watt amp. Before I put my sub in there was no real drain on my battery at all and the bass i was getting out of my speakers was real tight.

Almost forgot, here's a pic of the hatch before a put the third amp and the sub in. I'll have to get a new pic with everything in the back.

inflikti0n,
That is the one thing that I don't think anyone on here has quite figured out yet. Where to get an upgraded alternator. I think the only route that is available is to call up one of these companies that makes them and claims to make custom ones, and ask them to make one for your engine, custom. The only downside is that it is probably going to be expensive.

10-25-2002, 03:05 PM
man dont you know you can goto www.mralternator.com and get a 135 amp one for $185
I thought I taught yall better than that

more like .55 = .1 i wish there was some governing body in car audio that would push a standard on amp and speaker manufactueres to use proper numbers.

heh, speaking of having a set of rules for rating amps...
I think Zapco made an amp that "officially" put out 1 watt RMS, to make a statement about the rating system, and how it doesn't really exist. They did that so competitors could use that amp to score really high numbers, because in reality it put out a crapload of power, and still stay in the lower wattage categories.

One watt amp! That's hillarious man. Anyway I have no dig cam and some prick jacked my head unit, but I have two 12" Pioneer subs that sound tight and a 600w 2ch Pioneer amp backed with a Phoenix Gold 1F cap driving them. For the mids-highs I have Kenwoods now but I plan to go Cerwin-Vega soon cause they are the sh** man. If I could afford it I would buy 15" Vega Series subs and one of their 1200w amps too.(That is REAL watts too.):D
Mine's a very basic stereo. I got some black trunkliner and redid the whole trunk so it matches the box. I also made the bottom panel (for the trunk) out of plywood and two pieces with hinges so I can easily get my spare out but I think I deleted my old pics so I only have the one. I'm not picky about top quality sound and I don't care about waking up neighbours but it pounds good enough to keep me happy. Sony cassette w/10 disc changer, Sherwood EQ, Alpine V12 4 channel 300W amp, Kenwood 300W sub amp, 6.5" Pionner 3 ways, 6X9 Pioneer 2 ways, 2 12" Rockford Punch.
The other two pics are of the setup I made for my Stang. That has the stock Mach 460 (CD, cass, 460W 8 speaker system) with the same Kenwood 300W sub amp used in the Accord and 2 10" Kicker comps.

Well it isnt much but here is my setup:
In the cabin:
Kenwood KCD-3011 Headunit
2x 6" JL Audio TR600-CXi Coaxials in the front
stock speakers (disconnected) in the rear till I can get 2 more JLs at cost (paying full price sucks)
In the trunk:
MTX Thunder4202 280w amp bridged to:
Q-Logic Punch 12" Sub
Looking for a more powerful amp, although my current setup has a nice deep rich sound that you can feel inside the cabin, it just doesnt have the power to rattle the windows of nearby cars, houses, and buildings, which is what I am aiming for. :D
