Hello everyone, I have always wanted a very good sound system but I have never really had time or money to invest in it. Finally, I just bought a new car (2001 Honda CR-V SE) and I decided I wanted to switch out the factory stereo system and put in a nice stereo system. Here is what I have so far:

Head unit: Alpine CDA-105 CD Receiver
Speaker system: Alpine Type-R SPR-17S - Car speaker system - 110 Watt - 2-way - component - 6.5
Amp: Alpine V Power MRP-F300 Amplifier (4-channel)
Subwoofer: Alpine Type-R Series SWR-1242D (12")
Sub. Box: Bassworx HPR12G Reference Single 12" Ported Enclosure

I am no expert and I have little idea of the compatibility of such equipment. I just need some advice on how this all works together and if I need any additional components. I am not looking to install it myself, I will probably have cartoys do it for me. Thanks for any advice!

That's a decent start. Be prepared to pay for the proper wiring harness adapters when you have it installed.

I noticed one thing missing.. an amp for your subwoofer.

As far as your subwoofer goes, make sure you atleast purchase an amplifier of 500 watts RMS stable at 4 ohm's
