I'm getting custom speakers installed in my 03 Civic and realized I no longer have the stock speaker in the front driver's side door. The installer was planning to use the OEM speaker as a spacer (by removing the cone and keeping the plastic casing). I'm not sure what to do at this point, since...

Already on it, David.. I ordered a Boston Acoustics GT2200 to go with the sub I switched to (see previous posts). Thanks for the suggestion though - further proof I did something right here!

Latest update..Sonic was out of stock for the Image Dynamics ID10 D4 V.3 woofers, so I switched to NVX VSW104. Higher RMS rating and similar price. Now to order the wiring..

Hey, I really appreciate the help! I'll order the ID10s, GT-2200 and the enclosure later today. Will keep you updated! Can't wait to get these installed.

That's extremely helpful man, thank you! I'm not sure of my wiring situation. The car's previous owner had an audio system so a power line is running back to where I'll be installing the amp, although some speaker wiring may have to be redone. Would you suggest the sub and amp over the MTX subs...

I'm looking at around $300 total, $150 for the subs and $150 for the amp, although that range is flexible. I'm comfortable installing myself, but not building enclosures. I'm looking for a rounded sound, not just something that rattles the civic.

That's a great suggestion neo..I like the looks of the Boston GT2200 a lot. I'm considering MTX TNE212D preloaded subs to accompany it. Open to suggestions there as well..

What would you recommend instead? I'm considering purchasing MTX TNE212D subs which are 400 watts RMS total. Would this be a good match?

I'm looking at two different amps on Amazon and would love some input, as I'm new to car audio.. Kenwood Kac-8105D 1000-Watt Class Amplifier ($114) Alpine MRP-M500 Monoblock Power Amplifier ($125) Both put out 500W X 1 at 2_. Suggestions? Cheers!
