AnaMayShun's 05 Honda CR-V EX Build

[AnaMayShun 0]

I have a 2005 Honda CR-V EX. This is the stuff I want to get for my system:

Head Unit - JVC KD-AVX-44

Sub - 15"Fi Audio Q- Series

Front - Phoenix Gold RSD 65CS

Rear - Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5

Amp (Sub) - Alpine PDX 1.1000

Amp (Interior) - Phoenix Gold RSD500.4

Enclosure - Made by DCole ( someone from another message board)

Install Kit - ???

What is a good Install Kit to use? I know I should use 1/0 guage wires for the kit. I was looking at KnuKoncept Kits, but the one I wanted is sold out. I emailed the company and they said a new kit should be out by the end of the month. So I may end up going with that.

Is there anything I left off that i'm going to need? I know I need a harness and in-dash kit.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Can you recommend an amp you would use if you had the set up i listed above? I still have a lil time to tweak the set-up.

Why not a matching RDS mono amplifier for the Q?

I was looking at this one PHOENIX GOLD RSD1200.1 . I asked around other people said that the Alpine would probably be better. Should I get that one, or should I look for another RSD?

get the kicker hyperflex 1/0 kit. I just got it and its incredibly flexible. It can be found for under $100.

Where are you getting the rds comps from. I heard its difficult to find now.

Also the Q deserves moar powar.

Which amp would you suggest I get for the Q?

I found everything but the subs, and enclosure on ebay. Just waiting to get good suggestions before I dive in and buy everything.

Sundown 1000 or 1500.

The 1500 is on sale for this month.

The 1000 is just a great value to begin with.

Yeah, that's the one. I ordered it on 6/4 and it was $94.99 if you count shipping. Maybe you can send them an email and ask why it is $30 more now?

I was looking at that one. I think they have a couple on Ebay for under $100. I think Next week I'll start buying all the parts to the system. I appreciate all the help everyone.

2nd that saz1500d. I had mine with my q15 and loved it. It somehow hit harder than the Revo 1500.1 I had. But thats only to my ear.

That amp sounds tempting. But I think I may go with the SAE-1000D.

[AnaMayShun 0]

Well, I just bought the Q-15 and the SAE-1000D.

I would be curious as to how? (other then foot print)

Both very good choices.

The reasoning I got was, that the Alpine puts out good power, but it doesn't use too many amps or what ever from the vehicle. Which would make it a lil easier to add another amp and not worry about having to get a new alternator. Well that's what I got out of the posts.

Just out of curiosity, where did you read those posts?

Honestly I don't remember, I've been trying to get help with building a system for a while now. So I've been to different forums looking for suggestions.
