I have a 2003 Civic. I'm finding that my doors aren't really accommodating for component sets. Does installing via the kickpanel fix this issue of mine? And do I get better SQ if I use the kick panel instead of the doors? Note: I will be using 2 ways components.

Well if it's not one thing then it's another. I guess I need to ask for the mounting depth of speakers that would fit my car so I can change my speakers choice

****. 1. I'm not sure of industry standard, but is it that my car isn't really accomodating to components, or do I just need to find a pair that fits? 2. If this Metra guide is wrong, where do I get the right information from?

When I replied an hour ago, I spoke to a technical specialist at WoofersEtc.com to confirm if they'd fit. He said that for my car, I had space of 3.5 and that they should fit fine. Do you think this is incorrect?

LOL...I don't want to cheap out. I guess it's because I am a tweener...I am not interested in factory stuff, but I am not enough of an enthusiast to go full gusto (forking thousands of dollars) I guess I didn't have a budget for the amp. I was going to originally just get that HU and some JL...

So the ones I found (the image dynamics cxs64s) will probably be just right for someone like me, who isn't going all out and I am on a budget. Since I am not trying to do anything outside of these speakers and the HU, what amp would serve my modest purposes if I got the Pioneer DEH80PRS and the...

If you had to pick a pair out of the ones you sent me, which would you be inclined to pick and why? Based on checking into the different manufacturers and the user reviews I could find, I would probably go with the Image Dynamics. What do you think about these? WoofersEtc.com - CXS64 V2 - Image...

Really? I'm glad I came here then. I never heard of that website or those sets. And I've done my best to find sites that rate or rank car audio equipment but those are in short supply. And I am damned at finding a car audio enthusiast magazine that lets me know what people want. Not sure how...

Thanks for all the links. I'm about to head to the movies. Camp this thread, I will have a few more questions. I haven't heard of these (outside of Hertz), so I'm naturally curious how they stack up to say some JBL or JL Audio or Infinity sets.

Ideally I would like to get some good suggestions, and pick based on price instead of throwing out a number and being limited with options.I don't want to spend over $300 but there might be flexibility depending on how much added value I get for the price. I am now unsure about the power I will...

Ok. I am officially looking at component. I wasn't clear in that before, but that's what I am doing. LOL. I am trying to pick a speaker set tonight so I can place the order. Caraudiogiants.com seems to be competitive with Sonic Electronix, so hopefully before I hit the sack, I can narrow it...

That's weird. I just copy and pasted that info into Crutchfield and Amazon and they come up as Marine. But they are a pretty solid set though?

Ok. So Running the front stage 2 way active means powering my front speakers with the amp instead of the HU, right? I just have a few more questions if you don't mind. FYI, I've never had component speakers or an amp before, hence the type of questions I am asking. 1. Since I am looking to buy...

Just so I am clear, this is only an issue because I want to run the front speakers off the amp correct? If so, which sounds better....some really good 2 ways on a amp and 6X9s off the 80PRS, OR some 3 ways off the HU and the 6X9s off the amp? I am only asking because my title mentions looking...

Thanks. A couple of questions. 1. The first one comes up as part of a Marine series. I've seen marine products, but naturally skipped over them because I am buying for a car. This may go without saying, but I assume buying marine is okay for a car since I am buying the product for the size. 2...
