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.

My system such as it is:

Blaupunkt Austin deck
Kenwoods in the front (need to be replaced)
"POP" 6x9s (homemade from chicago - HUGE magnets - very nice)
Optimus 200 watt amp
12" JBLpower in ghettofied sealed box

Not much, but sounds great for getting all my stuff for DIRT cheap from friends.

Heres my system

Pioneer DEH8200R Head Unit
3 12in. JL subs
Mb Quart comps
Kicker 6 x 9's
Kicker ZR360
Kicker IX405D
Stinger 4 gauge power and ground wire
All other wiring accessories by stinger
Viper alarm

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.

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

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 ;)

I have a 600 watt Kenwood amp with 2 12" MTX thunder 5000's

Sounds good and i only paid 400$ brand new.

By the way, I have read your posts, and you all have some really nice equipment.

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:

2 12 Inch Kenwood "tornado" subwoofers

pair of 6x9 sony explodes (vocals only)
pair of 6 1/2 sony explodes (vocals only)
