My old corolla is still running strong at 400 000 kms. Would still be driving it but someone broke a window when they robbed me. Oh well, bought my new matrix kind of as a result.

I think the 10 G's is for the car also, which would make it a tight squeeze for a car, a system, and an engine swap...not to mention mom and dad probably won't be too excited about Jr. ripping a perfectly good engine out of the new (used) car to make his go faster...especially with a new license...but, I could be wrong.

ah civic's ca go for 3-5 g'z, engine swap for 2 g'z, and 3 g'z for a system...it could work...plus you can always sell the civic engine...

i used to have a civic, and the sytem in it was pretty heavy. the car was slow as hell...its always nice to have a bumpin system backed with some nice hp....

Sorry for the late reply, its my birthday weekend..partying!

I would say I wouldnt want to spend more than 2-300$ on a deck..but if its needed it wont be a problem.

As for subs, I listen to alot of rap..and some hard rock(like alexisonfire). I wouldnt want to spend over 4-500$ on the subs..

I would like a clean sound..not just some crazy vaccum-sounding base. I dont need to hook directly into the ipod base, mabye just a good RCA jack would be fine, so my sister can use her mp3 player too.

Also, would I be better to go to a place like bestbuy for these parts..or a private place like halmilton audio?

I know big corperations mark up their computers.so smart people go to a private place and get MUCH more for the money.

Is this the same deal for car audio?

Oh, and I'm thinking a 2003+ neon, I can get one with under 80K on it for about 6500 and less.
