  1. For some reason I can't see the videos. They are just images.... But it could just be on my side. I had a pair of 10s in my car that were rear firing, basic just like this and they were running off about 700 watts, take or give some..... They got down.
  2. Nice to see some more 8th gens gettin worked on. Newer civics flex so much it's stupid... Something I'm still working on in my Civic Coupe.
  3. 19 now, going to college 200 miles from 'home'. I'd call myself very fortunate to have the opportunities that I have. Realistically, hoping to be completely independent and established by 25..... Out of college by 23-24 Hopefully doing well enough by 30-33 to make my dad's wishes come true of retiring. That would be my ultimate goal.... To see myself doing well enough to have my parents living off my dime, or at least finish paying off their house, like they've done for me the past 19 years of my life and whatever is to come. Time will only tell though. I've worked since the day after I got my permit at 15 1/2, and I've been employed by several companies since.... The car...The parents help me a great deal when it comes to the car as they have given me the opportunity to have an asset, at half the value of the car. I pay half the total payment every month, which is equivalent to 2 weeks of work every month. Another week alone goes to gas, and whatever left over goes into the savings account, as well as the car. I'm young, got a great supporting family, going to college, working part time, and I appreciate all the opportunities I've been given...

  5. I tin some of my wires, If I have an issue with them. If There's no issues, I don't worry about it. On the terminal thing...... If you have a properly soldered terminal, it's not coming off under normal use. There's no reason to crimp it. Crimping only makes it unusable if you ever have to change the length of a wire.
  6. http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/color-specific-threads/29780-taffeta-white.html Since your links don't work, I don't think you'll get pictures... But if you can't find something similar in that thread, you failz.
  7. Honestly, the initial pics I wasn't giving the paint job too much justice... But the most recent pics you posted up, I'm diggin it. Fog lights should make the front end pop. I'll eventually get the chance to see this thing in person! :-) Just a matter of time.... Pics don't matter.... It's all about in person. Pics don't do justice for my car... I can't imagine they do the justice for yours. How long before you can play the system full tilt? Does the paint need to cure completely before it can flex?
  8. Don't waste your time. Get the damplifier, then take your shit out. If you do everything twice, you break twice the number of clips and do twice the work. It won't be hard, it'll just be tedious.
  9. Your school is retarded. I was driving my car to school, parking in the student lot when I was a sophomore.
  10. I invision two more cars going through this dude, directly from Steve. When are the hoopty and the civ up for paint?! LOL. You ready to start workin around that beautiful new paint job to install some air shocks?
  11. You would be a fool not to take the honda! Your dad is hookin it up fat. KBB both values.
  12. DD 1510s would be badass.... I got 2 D4s for sale. If you're interested in buying used, shoot me a PM.
  13. Make your shit look professional and safe, then collect. If you collect, then you're providing a service... and if something happens to his car it falls right back on you. No money, no liability. I won't help a friend that won't help me.... Doesn't sound like this dude would have helped you install something if he knew how to and you didn't.
  14. Once the roof is deadened... the whole car is deadened. :-)

  15. You're better off having enough airspace and smaller subs than having too little airspace for the amount of cone area you're running. Run a single 12'' sub in a ported enclosure off the Hifonics @ 1 ohm.... Should be bangin for what it is.
  16. Did you get the KLMX 0 gauge or the Fleks 0 gauge? Congrats on getting it up and running.
