hey all, waitin on gettin my tsx this commin tuesday hopefully!
anyway, my question here is how long did you guys wait before starting on some audio changes? i was thinking that since my car will be new that i should at least wait till im done with engine break-in to make sure everything (electronic wise) is working before i start diggin in the fun. any help is appreciated. oh yeah and...

im planning to start off with a alpine type-r 12" powered by an alpine mrd-m300 or a mrd-m301 with 300w x 1 RMS (2ohm) and 350w X 1 RMS (2ohm) respectively. do you think this sub and amp combo will be good? i also plan on (mabye a month later) swapping out the front and back door 6 1/2's as well as the 6x9's with some alpine type-s speakers (would go for the r's but dont wanna cut metal) . i read on this forum that the type-s' run fine on the stock pioneer amp so i plan on doing that since im just looking for a nice audio system with some bass. im going to be running the stock head unit and im hoping that this will be a nice setup. im a soopa noob when it comes to car audio and any information/suggestions would be very helpful. oh yeah and how will this affect the electronics in my car? is it too much on the stock battery and alternator and ill need a capacitator or will this fun without a hitch with no risk to my car. this is going to be my first new car so i dont wanna take any risks! hehe thanks in advance

 

right now im running type r tweeters, 12" type r sub by a mrd-m500, and type s 6x9s with no problems at all as far as power wise... i waited a while, maybe like 6 months, before i dug into it. i dont think itll make a difference of when you swap em out, but its def. worth it

 

I wasn't planning on doing any audio upgrades but after my amp and sub from my old car didn't sell on ebay I decided to put them in. I don't think I'm going to do anything else with speakers but I might add a SNHOND line in.

 

cool, thanks for the input guys, the only thing i was kinda concerned about was the addition of an amp and a subwoofer too early that might be blamed by dealers if any electrical problems arise. i guess i can wait a couple months before i go and spend some more cash on audio

 

I waited until I couldn't stand the quality of the audio setup anymore. It was $800 well spent.
