Looks great man, when I go to view them on the website it says the Rockford Fosgate's won't fit my Civic... Is the website not completely accurate when it comes to compatibility?

Also I won't have to make changes to the "big three" as you guys put it with this system right?

I'd do big III for any system but mostly only needed with 1000w or more.

Ok so this system that subwoofer picked out would need the upgrade?
Anyone else have any input on a system? This one seems pretty solid to me, but I am a complete noob when it comes to car audio.

I think for $600 better could be had... but that's just my opinion. Personally I wouldn't bother with a Big III upgrade the wire cost alone could warrant you a bigger amplifier or an upgrade somewhere and for 1,000w it's just not really needed tbh you won't make or break your system from doing it.

For a box if you're any good at cutting wood or putting wood together and following directions I will sketch you out a box and give you a cut sheet and directions... It would cost you about $50 to build and yield probably twice the SQ and output as buying a prefab box, home depot will cut the wood for .50 cents a cut (cost like $5) then just take it home and glue/screw them together. If not then get this box:

Box $60 Shipped:

Basically those TNT's are about twice as capable as CVR's or Type R's they take close to 1k a piece each and have better sensitivity and better build grade also head they sound incredible for little SPL monsters on the cheap. Also the HFI line or Hifonics DOESN'T do rated and are very dirty in signal when they near rated power I would not recommend it the AP1000 isn't the greatest amplifier out but it will do rated before that HFI ever will. Now the best part about this is if you sign up for Caraudioclassifieds and goto that link you can get 2 pairs of Crescendo Pro's for $100 shipped new and they are rated one of the best mid range drivers on the market and would complete tool those rockfords in every way possible. Now the Kenwood is a good Heaudnit but the DEH3300 is a better headunit due to the higher PReout voltage and it has a higher RMS rating for each channel and are easier to adjust and use and they also come with 3 x preouts for 3 amplifiers. Last but not least that 10" sealed box is fine and dandy but it will yield almost no output with 2 10" CVR's you'll want ported also that sealed box that was recommended is way too big for CVR's heh the one I posted it 1ft^3 per chamber which is perfect for 2 10's.

It's a little over your budget but if you want a strong build that's reliable and loud and sounds clean then you might want to spend the extra $60-100 over that build that was suggested.

/2 cents.

Well let's see it if you don't mind :). I hate rushing into purchases especially those I have no knowledge of.
I like to see what people post up as good systems and do some research on those particular items.

I didn't read but did you need wiring as well? that setup I listed about comes out to about $560 shipped all brand new including box but if you need wiring I can suggest a wiring kit that's fuckin NASTY for $50 and will be perfect for your application.

I'm assuming I'll need wiring, lol.  I also needed a deck..  Basically right now I have my Clarion deck which was put into my car in 2002 when I was 16, lol.


I already listed EVERYTHING except wiring including a headunit above... Kenwoods are alright but for the below $200 range the DEH Pioneer Models are the best IMO. Best functionality. I don't know why each link adds an E onto eebay so just copy and delete 1 E from eebay on each link sorry about that lol

If you don't mind spending $700 which I suggest you do.. as that last build isn't nearly as good as this one :-p but heres wiring:

http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-KCA-Complete-Gauge-Installation/dp/B0050I6KII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328729752&sr=8-1

That's a GFG kit for under $30 man first off it's true 4ga 2nd Knukonceptz RCA's are fucking magic and somehow amazon is selling that shit $30 cheaper than KnuKonceptz themselves is... So imo get that no matter what the rest is subjective. Don't cheap on any ONE component in a build this expensive or you'll end up dissapointed and wanting more. IMO for a complete system anyone should expect to spend about $1000 but since not everyone is a basshead like me I suggest atleast $700-800, $600 just does not cut it when you want to do things right the first time. Your choice though man I' mjust stating my opinion and personal experience.

Those Crescendo's are a must for the price though no offense but you'd be serverely retarded if you bought anything else for door speakers... American Bass and the CVR's are about on Par with each other but the american bass take a lot more power and get louder off the power given and are way more reliable.
