I am looking into getting a new component system for my 98 civic ex. From what I can tell Infinity are just about the best for highs.

So I'm thinkin 6.5" component by Infinity
6x9 infinity
2 kicker 12"

i am not sure what size your speakers are but i would get infinity if i were you. pioneer are ok, i had them in my old car, they weren't the greatest but they were better than my stock speakers. alpine makes very good headunits.

yeah, ive heard bout infinity. how much are they compared to the pioneers. i know some prices for pioneers. for infinity, say...like 6 1/2" speakers...how much are the 3 ways or 4 ways? and where can you get the speakers really cheap? how much are the alpine head units too? thanks!

go to ikesound.com and you will find very good prices on all this stuff, this is the cheapest place that i know of other than ebay. the best ones are the infinity kappas and you could go for a component set of 6 1/2s , that would run around 145 at ikesound, or you could get the kappa 3 ways which are like 99 at ikesound, then you could go one step lower and get the reference speakers or components. infinity doesn't make 4 way speakers, they are still much better than pioneer. the alpine headunits are anywhere from 150-400, check ikesound and you will see all the different ones.

"what is the difference between the kappa and the reference series?"
the difference that i know of is that the kappas have higher wattage, i haven't heard both just the kappas and they sounded awesome.
