if you're using the crossovers on the amp you don't need to use the one in the head unit. cross your 15's at 65hz and if you can, cross your highs at 65hz or 80hz if they distort at 65hz. Or use that as a starting point at what suits you best

isnt the rms on those like 300 a piece??

 

[kylewangintts 10+ year member]

nevermind 250.. isnt all the 1/0 a little overkill?

was running an orion 1200d and 2 RE Se's.. long story, blew the power on it by crossing pos and neg, alt couldnt even handle it.. had to downgrade

..no such thing as overkill //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

you went from re ses to memphis?? why?

and oh. thanks for informing me you can't waste money...

but since you already had it in...it makes more sense

figured i could get a similar out put from half the rms, but with larger subs, so i went with low end 15's.. was able to sell the blown amp and subs for about 400 + the matching orion 4 chann (sold for 120) to get the alpine amps for round 280 and the subs and enclosure for like 300, so i hardly spent any money out of pocket to get a new setup..

awe ok...

well i think the REs would be louder with the right amp but anyways... the install looks good man..im 17 too.

nice and clean! hate to say it but ud be louder wit 2 12's or 2 10's

He's right. i sell 30 of those power refrence 15's a week. they sound great, wont find another speaker like it for $110.00 that's for sure. but those Pr's need room to move. a civic is not going to give you that. i had the same setup. the best possible setup in that car(memphis wise) would be 2 M312d4's on a MCD1000. custom box would be best but if you just want a pre-fab box go with a PE2x12 from memphis they are nice slot-load boxes and only run about $139.99

wow thanks! thats simplifies things, haha. those m3's look badass, but im trying to still keep my amp setup the same, so lookin for some 12's that do round 3-400rms.. was thinkin bout 3 10's, but ill prolly want more output than that.

Hate to say it, but I had 3 10" Diamonds on a Memphis 1000D in a GRAND MARQUIS trunk that I think was louder than your car probally. 3 GOOD 10s and the proper power can destroy that setup.

Nice setup overall, looks like a clean install.

Everything mention about the PR is pretty much head on. I own a pair of the 12s in my Neon, and a pair of the 15s in my Lesabre, and both sounded ok at best, seemed to lack on the low end. Both boxes were sealed. I sold the 15s to my cousin who put them in his Suburban in a bigger box and they sounded much stronger on the low end.

The M3 would be a nice upgrade if you want to stick with Memphis, but a couple of good 10s or 12s ported would hit much better in that car, IMO.
