Once again, you may notice some posts missing. Play nice guys. If you want to start a debate on importance (or lack thereof) of quality cabling, start a thread, go to town, and be respectful.

Anyways, systems. Carry on.

nlot bad systems better than most here .People with civic's here *( no offence) have really shite systems its eaither really shite ( cheap gear verry chea that is or its ground breaking technology) i never got my head round why they do that and cant get a avrage sysytem ( if there is suck) like what most have here 2/3 subs componants etc one thing i will give honda their cars are very user friendly. i used to have a vauxhall cavalier ( gm ) and that thing was the worst thing i ever bought.

[dudeman47]

Nothin but the factory cassette (!!!) and a pair of Polk replacements. Not about the sounds right yet. That's the last step in the process

[shizzott]

I've had all kinds of stereos in all kinds of different cars. I own a install shop called audio werks.

For the dood that stereotypes civic systems as shitty = In my civic i had 6 comp vr 10s -- then i went to 4 comp vr 12's -- now i'm putting 3 L7 titanum 15s in it. I'm gunna see how my Ma audio hc 2502 pushs them [2500 watts @ .5 ohm]

and dont flame the ma audio amps, if you do your ignorant.

I basicly did the the 6 10s for props, it was loud, but it wont carry like the 15s will. My personal stereos are basicly what everyone wants to see, not really what i like. I have no choice. My car is a rolling business card. My digy cam went to shit, gotta get a new one and hopefully i can get some pics up.

I just did a 01 chevy extended cab truck with 2 l7 12s in it. 1" plexi glass front, box is black with a white inside, neons, ect.. it looks pretty tight. 2 punch 800s - punch 400.4 on mids and highs [kicker resolution]

I'm doing 2 15 l7 titanums in a xtra cab 99 toyota tacoma.. it'l be tight. ... in "steet bass" spec ported boxes

I'm also doing some small installs right now.. 2 15s in a 4 runner, 2 alum 10s in a firebird [what a damn *****]

ect ect.. i'm done ;)

[cashizslick]

[Hans]

this be the system that I have, therein being that which I like and perhaps even adore, for it is mine, and is Good.


- dual 12 inch Rockford 400watt subs in very custom boxes

- one Rockford 300x amp (actually pulling out 370 watts) going to the 2 subs, sounds awesome

- 2 Infinity 4x6's in the front running off the deck... I've just about killed them now, I need another (higher power rating) set

- the deck is a JVC 7700... the one with everything but the DVD/MP3 capability. 300 bucks, on sale from 500! :D L33t.

- all 12 gauge cable to subs, 8 gauge to amp, the nice gold-plated connexion stuff too.



...that's it so far, I should be upgrading soon, w00t! I wanna add a few 6x9's and another amp... or 2... and maybe another pair of 12's... :rambo:

Sony Xplode Head Unit SUCKS!

Door -->Sony Xplode 6.5"s (alright, but still warrantied, and that why)

Rear Deck-->Sony Explode 2-way 6x9"s (1 is blown, and thats cuz theres no more warranty :pukey)

Kenwood 600w pushing two(2) MTX Thunder 6000 10"s (decent bass, but could do better)

MTX Thunder 4244 amp pushing two(2) Kenwood 2-way 6x9"s in boxes, and a Boston Acoustics Rally Series 5&1/4" component system, including Neo 3r tweeters (in Custom Q-Form Kick Panels)<---nice kick panels

[Kool-Aid]

Ok...I have two Kicker 12's...I have 6 1/2 polk speakers all around...I have a Pioneer deck (detachable face, of course), I also have a crossover but I don't know what size amp that is...I just know that it hits pretty hard...this guy I work with claimed that his would hit harder than mine...I let him hear it and he automatically surrendered and confessed that mine DID hit harder than his...easily...ha ha ha

[Civic_RedLine]

Basicly to me, sounds the first thing. I wasted too much money on it for that extra sound.
-Two Apline v12 series amps(one for subs and one for speakers)
-alpine head unit 7893
-Dual kicker subs cvr12 (custom made box by me)
-Two front alpine tweeters
-Tsunami wiring
no other speakers as of yet. I want to get my hp up now, time to sell all my excess stuff on ebay =)

[super_dave]

why do you all buy your system from different brands? when i get mine im going to have all alpine so much better then sony or any crappy brand like that. if your going to spend the money on a system why not save up a grand more and get a really nice one

[AkimboStylee]

whats wrong with my system, oh wait not a damn thing, want to know why, cause i bought the best thing i could buy from each category, cause hey i like mtx amps, but their subs suck ass, and rockford has good amps but their subs suck.


listen super_dave i dont know who you are but that post made it sound like you are better than everyone else and saved up more money than is actually needed just my .02/c

[super_dave]

not saying anythings rong with it i just would perfer it all from the same company...

[ShEaNy]

Mine:
Panasonic 7inch widescreen indash DVD/CD/MP3,etc Screen
Alpine Digital Amp(i think 500 watts...)
1 - 12inch Alpine Sub (900 watt max)
Rockford Wiring(power,ground,etc)
Stock speakers :(
in all doing this..we relocated the battery in the trunk...easier to get wires to the amp and more room for intake:)
I had a Capacitor...but i sold it...thats the next thing to come...plus a custom made plexiglass box for the sub..ill come back with all the right numbers and names for everything later..but thats the general set up right now..:)..thats about it.
