Thanks so much for the reply. I'll get right on that.

I pulled out this sub from storage and lightly touched it while pulling it out of the box. It is very soft and brittle and feels like it would crumble on first use. Is it fixable? I actually pulled it out to sell.

I have already added enough weight with two subs in a sealed box. I'd like to just swap out the stock battery rather than adding another.

I've got an 09 Civic Si with a 200W Kicker amp and 1200W AQ1200D amp. Just installed about a week ago, I've had no problems with lights dimming with stock electrical. I have a replacement Kinetic HC1400R battery ready to go in. 1. Should I wait for the stock battery to die or should I...

Just wanted to report that I now have 2 JL10w6v2 D4's in a sealed box in my 09 Civic Si Sedan. I have them powered by an AQ1200D. This setup sounds great! I also have a Clarion Max685BT Nav head, 4 Polk 6 1/2" 651's and a Kicker 200W amp. I have all stock electrical and have yet to see any...

Can I run a JL10W6V2 D4 with a 500W Kicker Mono amp? The amp gives 500w @ 2ohms and the JL says it can go 2ohms if voice coils are connected in parallel. Am I understanding these specs correctly?

Anyone here do the Big Three Upgrade and have pics? I want to do my 09 Si, but I'm a newbee to all of this. It sure would help to see some pics of the finished product.

I wanted to add a sub amp to my existing 300W 4Ch amp. As I am new to car audio, I just found out that I should add a big 3 kit and upgraded battery at the very least to accommodate the new amp. Where's the best place to get a big 3 cable kit for my 09 Civic Si?

Thanks for your posts!

So there's no validity to anything he is saying? At the time we spoke it made some sense to me that if we ran the amp at 1/2 it's max output, then even if speaker shorted, there wouldn't be a danger of frying anything. He said with my listening habbits, I probably wouldn't be pushing the amp...

My installer tells me that if I run my two JL 10W6V2's at 1 ohm, I run the risk of dammage to my system if I make the mistake of accidentally cranking the volume. He strongly suggests, since I don't listen at high volumes to begin with, that the JL's be hooked up at 4 ohms to my AQ1200D amp...

I already own the subs...I have to use them. I don't want to rattle the bolts loose, but I do want good, strong, clean bass. Is that too much to ask at 500W for these speakers? Any risk of frying my system if I run the amp at 1 ohm? I've been told that this is a danger with any amp.

AQ 1200D: DESIGN FEATURES * AQ series amplifiers are fully stable down to one ohm. * Daisy Chain connection of two amplifiers stable down to 2 ohms * Four way protection circuits: Speaker shorts, DC offset, High/Low voltage, Thermal protection * Double sided boards with high current MOSFET...

So, if I have the choice to go 4 ohm or 1 ohm, which do I want for these amps and why? By the way, I believe the speakers come configured 4 ohm.

D4, but I didn't know they were offered in anything else. In fact, I don't even know the difference between D4 and D2.
