Hi there and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of answers to your post because it was just too difficult to read.

The problem is that we're more of a "mature" audience here at CCA and we don't speak "internet slang"

If you'd like to repost your question in regular English I'm sure you'll get a bunch of help. Otherwise all you will probably get is a few people who try to make sense of what you're saying (and possibly failing) and a few others making fun of you.

In any case... as I said... welcome to the board

you should also include what your budget really is. That has a huge effect on what you can buy. It will also determine what we will consider decent to you. If you have a budget of $500 decent is different from a budget of $1000. Ya dig!

Well I apologize for the previous post if anyone of you had hard time understanding.

I was just wondering if anyone can advice me on what sort of sound system I should get for my 2000 Civic Ex. I would say my budget is around $400 500.

I was thinking of getting maybe (1) 12” sub or (2) 10” subs. Have no idea what brand I should get. However, for the head unit I was thinking about getting Pioneer around 100-150 nothing 2 expensive. I have no clue about the amp, such as, how many watts or what brand I need or if I need a capacitor or not.

It would be appreciated if anyone can also tell me a nice/inexpensive shop in Brampton to buy and get the system installed

Thanks.

unfortunalty if you budget is around $500 bucks it's going to be real hard to do a hole system. Even if the deck is$150 a decent sub (mtx,infinity,pioneer, Rockford fosgate) is gonna cost you about $100 plus the box. Then you need a decent amp(same brand names+)$200-300. Then you still need wires and I'm assuming install as well. A more realistic budget is around $800-1000 for DECENT stuff. You can get cheap or used stuff for less but then it's a roll of the dice as far as performance and reliability is concerned.I would recomend not buying used or from a flea market because there are way too many shady deals out there where people are just trying to take your money as well as warrenty/return issues. Somebody here should be able to recomend a good shop that would be able to help you in your area. My suggestion is to get a good deck for now and save up for the rest and part your system out. Remember that the system is only as good as it's weakest link. As for 1.What subs go with what amps and 2. Do you need a cap, the answer is a little confusing.1. the amp is determined by what sub you buy and vice versa the second component is determined by what you buy first.2. It depends on your electrical system, caps are basically bandaids for a weak alternator they will not cure your lights dimming. They don't provide any extra power they are simply a quick release storage device.
