Help from an Audio Expert..
For those who have some nice sounds in their car, I want to know what you guys have setup. I just bought my Fit 4 days ago, and I wanted to hook it up, but I have no idea on what setup would be perfect for the car. I know for a fact that im only going to run one 12". Any positve input is greatly appreciated

this is my setup:
-JBL GTO607c components, Kenwood: KFC-1661S coaxials / KFC-W2511 10" sub / KAC-8104D mono amp
the components and the coaxials sound very clear. The kenwood 10" i have is in a sealed box. I was running a ported originally and it was pumping out thunderous bass. But I didn't like the sound. It wasn't as clear across the frequency range.
I went with a sealed box afterwards, turned up the bass boost / gain on the kenwood mono amp. It's still pumping out very strong bass but at the sametime the sound is clear and its very responsive.
I also put b-quiet ultimate in the doors / trunk / hatch. So that eliminates a lot of noise/rattling issues

will be getting to the doors soon but don't know when.
money is tight right now.
but i can say it sounds really good right now as it is.
could use some highs/treble though.

JL Audio 12"w3v2 in sealed enclosure
300w RMS Kenwood amp
2 Farad Power Acoustik Capacitor
Stock Navi Head unit - I routinely have the volume at 36 (out of 40) with no distortion. Some songs can hang at 40/40 and sound great. This is likely due to me having the bass turned ALL the way down on my head unit. The mids/highs sound excellent for a stock system once you add a decent sub, and I will likely keep this setup for at least a year or more.
For pics of my setup (post #9), and examples from a few other members check out this forum in the Fit ICE section:

I'm in the process of building a full alpine stereo. I installed an alpine w505/P1 for a head unit with navigation, bluetooth, and reverse camera. Just need to mold in the trim ring for a clean look and refinish. I'll be running type-r 6.5 comp up front and type-r 6.5 coax in the rears. Then for the lows I'll be running two 10" alpine type-r in a custom fiberglass box to sit in the spare tire well along with a custom fiberglass amp rack to house (2) pdx-2.150(fronts&rears) and a pdx1.1000(subs). Its a work in progress which will take some time. I'll post pics when done!
