Hey buddy, from your post i could make out that you are looking to primarily upgrade the fronts (correct me if i am wrong). For fronts you can look for components from RF, Morels, Hertz, Bull Audio. My pick would be Bull Audio followed by Morels. Soundbarrier amps are quite under rated as they are capable of some serious power. Make sure you have the sub in a sealed box for that tight crisp base.

The components should cost you around 6K. For the remaining 4K look for a used (good condition) digital 7-band equalizer from Pio. This can be installed in the glove box too if you do not want any dash mods. This shall increase the audio nirvana in your ride by leaps and bounds. Make sure you keep the gains a bit low for the new components for initial 20-30 hours of playing.

Let me know if I can help anymore.

pls elaborate a little more on the equalizer and how will it help :/ where would it fit.

also the front components and sub should be connected to the amp right?

Re: Budget ICE for Honda City 2009 IVTECH

also morel which model. and how is hertz? my friend got installed in his swift for 5.5K. they sound amazing. should i go for that or morel or rf?

next question this is the size of my current box. is it fine?
the other option the person offers me is the MDF box which is slightly bigger than this. and has a slim rectangular opening instead of a small circle in this. also it's wood is much much thicker and heavier.

An additional equalizer offers a lotof customization options over the oem head units. Also it has a preamp that boosts the signal to the amp. It is a half din sized device. Yes the components should be amped via front 2 channels of the amp.

You can opt morel maximos 6.5". I'd prefer morels over hertz as they are more neutral and relatively laid back than hertz which are a bit bright.
Your sub box is already too big and I m sure it is not as per specs if the sub. Any bigger and the bass would become loose and hollow. I'd suggest you to ditch this box and get a new one made to exact specs. Also I like sealed boxes more as they give tight bass rather than loud bass.
