Hey guys I'm looking to put a sub back in my car. Thing is I don't want it to weigh a ton, but I do want it to sound decent. Do you guys have any recommendations? I'm looking at either one 10" or possibly two 8" not looking to spend more then $250 - $300 at most

I'd get one 10" sub and an enclosure designed for the sub.  Don't get one of those one size fits all enclosures.

How do i re download the software from the disc in my dvd rom for my navigation?

Copied from other post:
Hey Guys, I'm new here, but i've been lurking around for a while. I recently purchased my 03 accord and the navi wasn't working. I had a friend diagnose it and the system had to compacters out, so they were fixed. Now i have the radio portion working(using the top screen) but the navigation screen doesn't work. I was just wondering what the problem is. I read that the dvd rom in the trunk could be bad, but i wanted to know if you guys have any input that could help me out before i spend some $.
Thanks Everyone

I wish I had experience with the OEM navi.  I'm sure someone in here can chime in and help though.

What version is your DVD, and what color? I can't quite remember, but I think my old 05 had an orange 1.4 DVD or something like that. If that's the case for yours, I still have a custom navi disc I made that will reload the software and show a different start-up image. I could rip the disc and give you an .iso file for you to burn to your own disc. Whether or not it will work, I have no idea. It may be that your disc is shot. At least my custom disc will be able to reload the software, though.

The DVD is orange, and in fine print at the bottom it says "Ver.3.20"
I read alot that people send the DVD ROM into alpine, alpine diagnose it and call to tell what the problem is. My question is, idk if the screen isnt working because theres a possability that the DVD rom is bad. What other things could make the screen not work.
Thank you for your help

If you are planning on using a capacitor, you can connect it to the sub amp.  I've had capacitors before, but found it wasn't necessary with my current set up.

+1 with the above post. If you use a capacitor just put it on the sub amp since that one will draw the most current when the bass hits.  A 1 farad should be plenty for a 300 watt amp.

I don't use a capacitor, so I don't have a suggestion.

ok so Tim, I'm currently not using a aftermarket H/U and i was searching for one and i was thinking i wanted to keep the look in the car stock as possible. I don't live in the best area so i want my audio system to look stock just in case someone looks into my car they don't see anything. I already have speakers, amps, and subs installed, but i feel like I'm losing some of the quality from the stock H/U.

would a equalizer help with my problem at all?

Any help would be appreciated. Worst comes to worst ill get an aftermarket H/U and hide it somewhere or something.

No.  An EQ really won't do much.  I prefer aftermarket h/u's because they usually give you an integrated solution.  Because manufacturers make it so hard to upgrade, another alternative would be an external signal processor that connects to your speaker wire outputs on your OEM h/u.  Something like a JL Audio Clean Sweep, or an Alpine PXE-H660 would work.  There are probably others, but I don't know as much about them because it's not an area of the industry I pay attention to very much.

Tim what is the shallow mount sub you use?

I have a JL Audio 13TW5.
