    i think i blew up a kicker comp :)

    oh good lord... like seriously what do you need here? a certificate? well guess what you got one! you broke something in a store. and it ain't a $5 jar of pickles. now everyone who goes and listens to the sub is going to wonder why it sucks, and think that kicker sucks. then they don't buy...

    Is this a good Deal

    I'd say get one for $300. That's all you need in a Civic. Those take massive power.

    can a stock head unit work well??

    adjustable line output converter (loc). It is used to take the inputs from the speaker wires + and - and convert it to RCA cables so that you can hook up an amplifier.

    watch blaupunkt die

    Considering Blaupunkt gets most of their business making OEM stereo equipment, I don't think it matters. Plus, nothing really needs to be changed. Look at Pioneer they've come out with nothing new really...all they did is change the look of their head units to make them more flashy (there is a...

    New System Setup, Trying to Finalize

    I would get better door speakers. I'd get a single set of components in the front and lose the rear speakers. You can get some decent deals on ebay for Infinity Reference 6.5" component speakers, among many others available. There are some ok model Crystal speakers available for cheap too, check...

    Best 1200 watt amp under $300

    Visonik is pretty good. Their power ratings are a little high from what I hear, but I haven't heard too many quality complaints about their class D amps. Check out the Visonik V900XD. Another one to look out for on ebay-- Refurbished Directed 1100d (1100W RMS @ 1 ohm, GREAT amp) Phoenix Gold...

    What sub for my JBL BP1200.1???????

    Boxes are generally built around the sub though. That's the only way to get the best SQ out of the sub. Install is often a greater factor in the sound quality than the sub itself. RE SX 12" would be sweet, they run about $250+shipping but I don't think you'll find a better sub that can take...

    Recommended RMS

    i would try to get something a bit better than those speakers. they can't take squat all for power. run them off the head unit but thats it, do not amp them.

    CHA CHING!!! Finally - Now How to Collaberate it all

    why run them in stereo? at those low subbass frequencies your ears can't really tell where the sound is coming from anyway.

    Alpine SPX-177A

    How much power can you feed these things? I think they're rated for like 60W, that's one thing that turned me off of those speakers...

    Recommended RMS

    Head units are usually insanely overrated in RMS wattage. It's doubtful you'll see any more than 10-15w coming out of each channel. I mean, look at the fuse on the HU. Probably a single 10-15A fuse. Look at an amp that puts out around 25-30W RMS, chances are it's got a 30A or higher fuse...
