What would fit under the hood of an 03 Honda Civic LX 1.7L 4 banger?
-
Now that I think about it, it may not be the stock battery. I might have replaced it and don't remember. I'll have to check and see. If I do end up replacing the battery, what size and what kind of battery would be good to upgrade to?
-
So I'm finally going to get the big 3 done. Sucks it's taken this long but at least it's getting done right?
Now on to my next question. How much power can I have before I need to add a 2nd battery? With the 2 amps in my sig, I'm a little over 1k right now.
-
I love Rockford Fosgate but those 2 amps aren't enough power to push those P3's. I would get the 2 ohm dvc's and that Kenwood mono amp based on what Crutchfield has for the money you want to spend.
-
If you haven't bought the subs yet then get the 2 ohm dvc's. As far as the amps go, I would get the Kenwood mono amp. Even if it's overrated and only puts out 700 rms it's still more than the 2 Fosgates will put out. And I'm assuming you are talking about this Kenwood?

Man you guys don't have much of a selection do you. There aren't any 1 ohm capable amps so you will be underpowering them with a 4 ohm amp unless you pay a lot more money. Can you replace the subs for the 2 ohm dvc's?

When your neighbors have time to put up Christmas lights but they don't have time to mow their lawn. Fuck that!

its going to be on chickens new "mix-tape"......gonna be an allstar cast on it. So far its sounding real good, even though chicken could care less, i know it will sell .......everyone sounds good on it and Dee (with the ice-cold robot lol) makes sick beats. I think im gonna be playing a lot of it on my youtube channel before its even released so watch out for that (if interested of course
)Yeah them beats are tight that I've heard so far on the videos. Let us know when the mixtape comes out and where we can buy it.

Is he coming out with a new album?

Getting credit these days is harder than before. Apply for a normal credit and see if you get approved. If you don't, then see if you can get a secured credit card. A secured credit card is where you give them like $250 or $500 of you own money and that is your credit limit. Once they see you can make your payments on time and in full, they'll give you your money back and up your credit limit and you'll have a normal credit card.

I went to high school with Ephraim Salaam (OT for Detroit Lions). He was 2 or 3 years ahead of me.

I played little league baseball with Lance Briggs (LB for Chicago Bears) and Nick Johnson (1B for Florida Marlins).
-
I forgot to ask. Steve, were they there recording for a new album? If so, who's coming out with a new album?
-
Oh yeah. Forgot about 24 Deep.
-
That's tight. Season of da Siccness and Loaded are 2 dope albums.
-
Thanks guys. I guess I'm just afraid to do it in my own. I'm not very handy and I've had bad experiences in the past with wires/electrical. Plus I have absolutely no tools. lol
I PM'd Red Navi to email me the picture of the big 3 on a Civic and I'll take a look at it and if I feel comfortable maybe I'll take a stab at it. I can borrow tools from my buddy or even my father-in-law.
I didn't think I was pushing enough wattage to need a 2nd battery? So what exactly are caps good for? Anything?
-
I guess I shouldn't say he can't do it, but more like he doesn't want to do it. We both work a lot of hours and have small children and rarely have the same time off together to hook up so he can work on it.
I'm willing to take it to a shop to do but not sure what kind of price I'm looking at. I know they are going to overcharge to begin with but is it worth paying a shop vs. just adding a cap?
Marlo, are you saying to replace the battery or add a 2nd battery? Will upgrading stop the lights from dimming? If a bigger and better battery will work then I'll just do that instead.
-
I've got some questions about doing the big 3 upgrade and adding a cap.
My headlights are dimming like a mofo at night and I need to fix it ASAP. I know you guys will say do the big 3 but I'm not sure I can really get it done right now unless I have a shop do it or find someone who can do it. I know you guys don't like caps but I'm just looking for a short term solution right now.
I've got a 2003 Civic with stock battery and stock alternator. I'm using this kit for my wiring http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/pr...S&p_status= I'm running the 2 amps in my sig so total I'm running a little over 1k watts right now.
My buddy does all my installation for me and he can't do the big 3 but he thinks he can add the cap for me. Will adding a cap help with the lights? If so, what size do I need?
Again, I'm just looking for a short term fix right now.

x2 on getting the T500-1bd. It's rated at 500 watts but does around 750. I run it close to 2 hours straight and it barely gets hot.
-
I work for Megapath and we provide internet lines to the majority of the Radio Shack stores. I talk to the people at the help desk in TX all the time. They got some cool people who work there.

I picked up this cd after seeing one of Steve's vids and I'm glad I did. The album is tight and pretty much every song except for 1 bumps. Tracks 10 and 18 hit the hardest.
-
I don't own this model but I do own a CD3100 and love it. Eclipse is a good brand and you can't go wrong. I like being able to control the ipod from the deck itself. Makes it a lot easier to flip through songs while driving.
-
Thanks everyone. I figured coming from Crutchfield it would be pretty legit.
What I was looking at was a factory refurbished Kenwood HU. It's $40 cheaper than the new unit and has the factory warranty, but doesn't come with all the free installation gear. Since that's the case, maybe it would just be better to buy it new.
Dan
In that case it's probably better to spend the extra $40. If it was a few hundred dollars then definitely go refurbished.
-
I've always bought brand new from Crutchfield but my buddy bought an amp from them refurbished and hasn't had any problems with it.
-
Sounds like you have your mind made up.
Can't go wrong wtih 2 1000.1's It would pound for sure.
