You can throw a 15" Orion HCCA in the back of a '95 Civic DX and get big numbers but that wont make it a good setup.

I've seen vids with him getting 160+ DB, window/doors open and all. In my book thats not falling short. My boy has 4 15's in his DTS and at 150DB itstarts to get painful so I'm sure 160DB is bananas. Also, DB is only one part of the equation. You gotta consider the frequency too.

so what would you recommend price range is around $500, I'm willing to spend money on a good sound, but I wouldn't wanna invest all mymoney into a system because I'm trying to upgrade my car some more

500 won't get u @!$% unless u shop around and possibly buy used
a custom box alone for your sub is gonna run 110-150 unless u build it yourself

Just sold my Sundown 1500D and 9887
Bought to pick up a 1200D and SSA Icon or Fi BL.
Still got my OG Soundstream comps and Alpine amp.
Then just gotta pick up another HU and wire, build a box and I'm set.

I recently just got a 2003 Ford F-150 Quad Cab and I was wondering what would be the best speaker layout.
I would prefer a little bit of base but I would rather just do hi's if the bass can't fit? Any Reccomendations

-Alpine Iva-w505 head unit
-2 JL w3v2 (w/ box)
-Hifonics brutus 2000w 2ch amp
-They "tried" to take my Alpine type R component door speakers
and my 6x9 Alpine rear deck speakers but im guessing they ran out of time or something......
-2 XOvisin headrest monitors
-and a PS2
Not to mention, My son's Favorite Barney movie was in the player and to top it off they took my son's stroller which im sure they used to carry all thestuff.

Question: How much do i need to spend to get a decent setup I have a G35 with a factory bose headunit and bose speakers which i am not looking to change. Alsohave a question about this will it affect the sound quality that much using the factory speakers/headunit? I don't know much about audio but i think Boseis a decent brand I want to get two 10 inch subs in the trunk im thinking either JL/Alpine/Pioneer, and of course i would need to get a new Amp. Can anyonetell me some good places to start looking for these I'm not trying to get raped with the store prices.

Ditch the back seat
Sorry to hear that
Bose is a terrible brand. Don't even bother getting a new system if you plan to keep the stock speakers...
