  1. Hey guys,

    So this is a bit over due, but I have done some work on the civic.

    *Replaced diesel amp w/ Kicker 200w 4chan

    *Flipped subs to be firing into the cabin

    *New Kenwood Excelon KDC-X993 head unit (no more line-converter!)

    *Dash kit

    *Another set of aux cables to the rear so I didnt have to split the signal to the subs

    Should have pics up by Sunday, can't promise anything tomorrow because I have the SAT. Wish me luck!

  2. Hey guys, my name is Alex. I'm from Georgia and recently got into car audio about 3 months ago. I'm 17 and paying for the car, system, basically everything myself so it is nothing like some of the stuff I have seen on here but everyone starts somewhere! It started off with 4 Polk DB651's, this lead to a Diesel Audio NSX-8004 to power them. Frys did the install and did an okay job so I decided to use them again for my sub install, big mistake. I knew nothing about car audio at the time and they got me to buy a Polk 12" with a Crunch 1100 W amp. RMS ratings were totally off, but I wouldn't have know. So what started off as-

    Which then lead to-

    2 Kicker 12" CVR's wired 2Ohms

    The blank spot where an amp should be is being replaced by a Hifonics Brutus Hifonics BXi 1210Damp. There was a Brutus amp sitting there, however it got fried. The crap FRYS wiring job caused a short and blew both the amps, must have been something with the ground wire since none of the fuses blew (the employee that did the install was soon after fired for backing a car out of the install bay with the door open, taking off the door on a customers Benz....love knowing he did the work). Well luckily I got new amps for free under warranty and now as seen in the second pics, I read up and rewired the whole care myself with the help of a friend who just happens to be at school for car audio :rolleyes:. Fuses for both amps, all monster wire, cleaner wire job, I like it much better. The new Brutus is on the way ATM and I'll post much better pics when it gets wired up.

    Did have some questions though. Would you guys suggests a Big 3? (headlights dim on a big bass hit), should I go with a ported box next, and any other tips.

    Thanks!
