AMP:
i wanted to go with alpine amp also. which amp do u guys suggest off of the list below?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...00000

 

None of the amps you link will really do the job, [not enough watts to drive the Type Rs properly] although the MRP-F450 would work, [4x70W RMS into 4 ohms] your Type Rs are 110W and 100W continuous.
A better amp would be the Alpine PDX-4.150... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...4.150 it's better to be overpowered then it is to be underpowered. 94

 

this one amp will run all 4 speakers? is there an amp that would do the same from best buy website? i found the amp on this site for 400...wat do u think?

Yes the amp will run all 4 speakers, it is a 4ch amp.

Bestbuy is an authorized Alpine dealer, onlinecarstereo.com is not, the diff. is, if you have a problem with the amp, if you get it from an authorized dealer you can take it to any authorized warranty repair shop, if you get it from a non authorized dealer, it must go back to them for warranty.

I have not heard anything bad about onlinecarstereo, yet. 94

 

best buy doesn't have that amp tho...so which amp should i get from best buy???

 

They are an Alpine dealer, they should be able to get one. 94

 

What do I tell them, I need a special order because they don't have that amp in stock?

 

I would be surprised if they did not have it in stock, phone them and ask, or go to your local BestBuy. 94

 

I would step up and look into an Alpine PDX Amp. Very small and lots of power

 

do u have to get it at bestbuy? save TONS of money and get it here http://onlinecarstereo.com

 

4 channel alpine pdx series or jl 4 channel amp will power those quite nicely.

 

thanks all for your suggestions...i was trying to get it at best buy cuz my friend works there and can get a nice discount...

now what about an amp and a sub...i'm lookin to go with a 10/12 inch sub...wat amp would go with it and wat enclosure would i need...

does anyone know if they've made a 08 dash kit yet? for a sedan.

You could save a little money and get this is you were on a budget:

It's perfect for what you need and is about 50-150$ cheaper depending on where you get it.

then what do i do with the stock HU? i need something to replace my stock HU!!!

 

That's what the OEM trim does, if you get the nav. option there is a double din screen where the HU goes. 94

 

haha dude i have an 08...the navi screen is seperate from the head unit...

 

Do you have the nav. option? 94

There may not be anything yet, metraonline.com only says... Car Deck Size - CORPORATE PANEL 94

 

haha no i don't have the nav option...i wanted to get an after market HU that has nav...i checked metra already

 

Then you may be out of luck, I checked with both Metra and Scosche, nothing yet and no word on when.

Where does the screen go in an 08 Accord when you do get nav.?
Is the nav. screen not a double din, like in other Honda/Acura? 94

 

the non nav version has double din, but the screen is so small...i guess if you take some plastic pieces out it will fit...i'll just have to be patient..
