I figured I best get used to it early! Hahaha Hows about this... Fi Q 12 ported or BL ported (with any options?) And then also looking at two 10 SSD with copper coil So these are now my options.. Two 10'' SSD ported with flatwind coil Single Q 12 ported Single BL 12 ported (how much of a difference for just one sub will choosing spl over daily will I notice? should I consider any other options?) Best option for the best of both worlds? Best quality with as much loudness I can get while retaining the quality.

Yeah, Ive decided the 12'' Q. Haha maybe the 15'' if I can get my girlfriends permission, she is the boss

Yeah those would fit easily, but thats too expensive for me. If I get two of ANYTHING, it would ONLY be the 10'' SSD, and I could hardly swing that. But as a single sup setup which would work best? Here are some pics of what im working with... With a full view of the car here.. As you can see, the car is tiny, lol. I don't need much to shake the bolts out of it What would you recommend for DD in that small hatchback? Mind you, I will need to get this bumping hard. Harder then two 10'' sealed Pioneer Premiers. But that fact aside, what would sound the best, with output equal to that of JL W1 sealed or louder? God, sorry, this is hard to ask, let me rephrase it all. Which sub will sound the BEST, have the BEST clarity and all that. Then, which sub would get the LOUDEST (other then the 15''s) because I know they will rape everything, lol.

So, I have a newly acquired ep3 (Honda Civic SI, 2002). Audio system is completely stock. It has a set of tweets 1'' above the dash, and two pairs of 6.5'' speakers in it. I believe i should be getting a component set, and leave the rear stage for fill, and only get fronts. So then I could get some nice stuff, but mind it has to be within the power range of the CS60.4. I'm new to component sets, although, I know rainbow has some nice stuff. I will be using the speakers with (more then likely) two of these ported http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.c...tnumber=295-466 For anything you post, a link would be VERY helpful, thank you!

http://cartoys.com/default.cfm/t/Car_Audio...rs/o/Subwoofers Well, as you all might but probably wont know, I have to go to cartoys to get a decent setup. Im getting 4'' in the front, 5 1'4 in the rear, and I want a sub. Now, I want to get all in one thing, so I dont have to bother to upgrade for a while. Hypothedicly, saying I were too, what do you think I should get. I have a rear deck, and in that deck I have a med kit. I can take that out and get a rear deck cover, so thats like a vent for the sound. So eitehr I sink an 8'' in the deck, or I open it up, and get something in the trunk. Odds are good I will go with the trunk idea, then gettin on in the back deck. So, subs here that will sound good (spl) and get loud. I want two 12'' in a sealed. Well, that was what I was thinking. But maybe just a filler sub for some bass, and get a much better set up when the car is actually mine. So just ideas, on what could sound good, with 4'' and 5 1/4'' speakers. Im going to power the speakers off the HU for a while (till I get a better sub) so i dont know, just something to think about..

Okay, Elderado told me that in my car, i have a gas tank between the trunk and the back seat. I actually think that the tank wall is my trunk wall. Anyways, Odds are good that I cant get wire back through any cracks there.. So, where do I put it? <pics tomorrow when its daylight> So, I was thinking maybe right behind the drivers seat in a nice sealed box with some plexy glass over the top so it doesnt get stepped on. Either that *not behind the passenger seat becaues its always moved* or I can stick it in the rear deck. Like, I could be able to drop it inbetween the two rear speakers? But I would need to check the space between the deck and the gas tank. Als find out if it would support a 10 or 12 inch. I dont even think I could get a 12'' behind myseat. Guess we will find out tomorrow wont we. Just, ideas please. I understand if I dont get any replies till I get some pics up.

Oops, dup post

Um.. I dont know......?

The one I was looking at (9856) doesnt have a remote and well, thats pretty much it. Also, the display kind of sucked. I have been saying ill get new speakers, amp sub, kick panels, etc when I actually own the car. But im only doing the HU once. And it has to be done right. http://cartoys.com/default.cfm/t/Car_Audio...reo/o/InDash_CD Thats the list I have to choose from. What is a good one? I was thinking Alpines, but I dont know, it looks like there are some other good ones. I will NOT be amping any speakers yet. So for the first few months ill be using the power straight frm the HU. That means it has to have good power. Has to have a remote, and have 'loudness' for a sub. I think thats what contols the sub. Opinions please

Head unit alpine $200 http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/CDA98..._WMA_DReceiver/ Speakers - Still debating on what ones. Eclipse $334 http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/SE824...2_Way_Speakers/ Apline $320 http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/SPS10..._2Way_Speakers/ Sub One Type E 12'' http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/SWE1242_12in_Subwoofer/ Enclosure $24 sealed http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/Subwo...es_12in_Single/ Amp Alpine $170 http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/MRP_M...Mono_Amplifier/ And if not tight on money $200 - but I am so this one is out. http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/MRPM4...ssD_Amplifier/2 Then, ill get new shift knobs, pedal covers, and lastly ill lower it with a suspension kit. And if I can, ill get some rims, (maybe get 19'' and act like the car is lowered) because when I resell the car, I cna always resell the rims Anyways, thats it concerning car audio, and due to budget restraints, I cant get kick panels, or bigger speakers in the back or another sub, or better sub or anything. Thats the bare minium that I can get. Just because ill be paying for most of it, and im out of a job now. And my dad is being stubborn, so I have to get it all professionally done at cartoys. Hes all hyped up on the free installs that they have. When the car is mine when im 16, ill do all sorts of stuff to it. As of now, thats it. I give damn near all the credit to Elderado for helping me with it. I had a general idea, but he really narrowed it all down and such.

Well, as nice as the 680mp is, the knob is kinda *ucked.. Its wobbly, and then stiff, and just kind of odd to work with. I tested on at the place in wenatchee. Maybe ill reconsider it though.

http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/CDA98..._WMA_DReceiver/ im going to get that HU. With that in mind, I will have these focals in the front http://www.cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/100CA...2_Way_Speakers/ with those or some cheaper speakers in the back. anyways, people here and there say its worth it to amp the front two, and have the back two runnin off the hu. Thoughts?

What is this sound stage I keep hearing about?

Hows it sound with the 8's in the deck? And I dont know exactly what im doing. I plan on kick panels, but that might not happen. So I gotta plan on 6.5's in the back, with 4'' in the front. And I want the music to blend, so.. Edit- And.. I did plan (with Elderados help) that I am just going to get the four 4'' Focals and the Alpine HU and do the sub at a later time by myself, so I get exactly what i want (not what dad or cartoys thinks is best) So yeah..

About 47'' Another angle of the 47'' The Med Kit that I told Elderado I didnt have, and still thought I didnt untill I took these shots Arm rest that I thought I could pull out and cut a hole, but then I thought of the tank, so its a useless pic From the top of the seats to the window 13'' The med kit box underside top is the med kit box, white is the back of the seat, and the black is the tank, and the fabric is the gas tank Shows my armorall and shows you where the med kit box (through the window) is compared to the gas tank Same as the one above, just different angle Images Hosting - PicTiger Conclustion: I do what I planned on before. I put the sub in the back, the only different think I want to do, is take out the med kit box, and get a rear deck cover for the hole that would show. That way there is a vent from the trunk to the cab. What do you all think?

Oops, i forgot pics! Damn, I think its too dark now, ill try though. Also, maybe just get another sub, and put them in a bandpass? I think bandpass is kind of cool, as well as it protects the subs nicely. Ill go work on those pics.

Do you mean like take out the back seats? Remember im in HS, so I still have to tote people around when i go to sports and stuff. So I cant take that out.

Thanks.... I like this place already better than CA.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn right this place is.

Armenians represent, yo... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lol, I also forgot Forest

I was all like Yay! Cheap Xenon bulbs on eBay, and Elderado is just like... No, nothing good. (though I didnt ask about everything) So, is there anything even worth buying on eBay? http://search.ebay.com/9004_W0QQbsZSearchQ...gZ1QQsofocusZbs If not, ill go to the auto shop and get them, its just they are cheap here. So any reputable brands? Good bulbs, anything? Because he was telling me how they can explode in side your cover and I really dont want to deal with that, so if I risk that with every brand on there, ill just go to the store.

Oh.. Damn. Well the real conversion is out of the question. So it looks like the Silver Stars are what im going with.

Lol they need a wash, but nah im keeping them. Im only keeping them, because the seats just get stupid hot in our weather. Like so hot its almost unbearable to sit on. The covers releive that. Although, they do need a wash, pretty badly might I add, lol

Okay, as you all kind of maybe, but probably done know, I have a Mercedes 1991 190E 2.3 trim car. As its a mercedes the engine would kill to upgrade. So thats where the VIP syling comes in. What should I do? Images Gallery with PicTiger Yes, there is some problems with the car, like the replaced light casing, and the bumper. Other then then, pretty straight car (meaning no dents). And I know with VIP style that oversized rims, like DUBs are often put on. And I dont think ill keep the car long enough to justify the body kit. Although, suspension isnt a big problem. So Ill probably do that. Rims are EXPENSIVE!!, although I might do it, just because if I sell the car, I can resell the rims seperatly. Just, all in all, what do you guys think should be done to my car?

Heh.. Anyways, thanks for all the advice guys!
