ok...
budget?
overall system goals? (groundshaking bass, or nice clean easy listening bass?)
wishes for setup? (amp size, sub size, etc.?)

ahhh, i remember those days, buy a sub, put a amp, cant hear hear shit but bass ...unless u like dat lil john music where only bass matters

My .02, for like 800, u could get 350(2x) sub, 500 watt amp, those sony speakers(not the best but shit, betta than factory) and any receiver

well if you want to go cheap but still have realllll good bass i would go with the xplode 1300 watt 12s in a ported box.... the subs are only 115 a piece so thats not too bad.... and u would want at least a 600 watt 4 channel amp\

Subwoofer's are powered by mono amps... I personally have two 12" alpine reference subwoofer's with an MTX thunder 3401 amp with infinity reference speakers. i think it's a good setup. not too bassy but it still shakes the car around a little bit.

Congratulations on your new accord. From personal experience i would get an Alpine or Pioneer. Those two brands are great all-around.

I second this.

I've been into hard core SQ car audio for several years now. These are great affordable brands that perform well.

As for subs. Dont' get bigger subs than you need. You'd be surprized how often people underpower their subs.
If the subs are 400rms/sub, i'd recommend a 1000wrms amp. This is a big amp.
for a first bumping system, you'll be happy with some entry subs, that take a good 175rms+ each (prime example - Jl w0, or w1, rated at 125rms, but with a 400wattrms amp they will be very nice).
Build a properly sized ported box and you will be very happy with some entry subs and around 400-500rms for power.
Don't skimp on the amp.
I've seen entry pioneers (rated at 300rms each), off an MTX 1501d (1500rms) that just SLAMMMED. $200 in subs, and $700 for the amp (retail...much cheaper online).

Good luck with your first stereo.
And dont' bother upgrading the stock speakers unless you're going to amp the new ones. Not much gains are made from OEM speakers at 15rms to pioneers @ 15rms. Real quality is seen when you amp the speakers (and filter out the lows on them with a crossover).
