suburban or civic hatch?

[Maebros]

my vote is for the burban because if you do a civic and post a build log. it will get raped by adam and the buttsech like EVERY civic build log on here

HaHaha Maebros nice!

Thats what i was concerned about with the civic. It is a older one a Dx and i need that alt so ot looks like ill get a triple alt kit for a burban and try for a seriously nasty C-pillar build. Hairtrick in every window if what i want

There was nothing gay about this thread until you brought it up, jackass lol.

The Civic... It could be done. But you'll soon realize that it's more hassle than it's actually worth.

That was my intial thought but i thought id see if others had more experience then me. With the power ill be running now and down the road the burban is proving a much better choice if i was only running about 3.5k i could see the civic being a good choice but not past that mark ill have atleast 7-8k in this build on ttheQ's

The Civic does handle the power very well surprisingly. My stock alt was doing just fine with just the big 3 and a 0ga run to the back to feed the rear battery to power the BC2K, but you're talking about running double the power, and finding just a HO alt to fit in the stock location proved to be a bigger pain in the ass than anyone could really imagine. I know bryantheceo has a killer build in his hatch, just not sure what he's running electrical wise. Since you've already got the GM alts though, again, I must say that the Burban is the clear choice in this one.

i would of left the stock alt but wanted to mount my other one which isnt proving to be a real good choice. Plus i dont want a big battery bank. I want to know im more then safe. With what i have now i shouldnt drop below 17.4-.5

Agree W/Adam

A upper tier build, like it sounds like you want to do, is a struggle to say the least on the civic platform.

I got fed up with my build to the point of selling everything, & starting over, in a different vehicle.

I know it can be done. But the headaches and other ish you put up with should weigh heavy on what you go with.

My .02.

[OldsBoomer]

Yea seems like ill be much happier sucking up and paying the gas and getting the burb

[CDetty]

Id go with the hatchie for fuel efficiency.

In large audio setups this is NOT a factor at all lol... Large installs usually start at a few hundred pounds and go up in weight

Very true. lol I wasn't thinking. For a ground pounder, yeah. Suburban. More room for more subs, batteries, amps..

I would go w/ the Suburban. I have a C pillar wall w/ 4 18's in my suburban and it is nice to be able to still have 4-5 people in the truck along w/ all the space you need for your amps/batts/etc..
