[Sleeklsc 5,000+ posts]

I've been out of the game for a while and looking to do a budget install on a 98 Civic hatch. What's some of the decent budget equipment out these days?

What I'm thinking-

H/u w/ BT

Coaxials in the doors, maybe rear

750-1000rms sub amp

2 10s or 12s in a prefab sealed enclosure.

Not my car so I'll assume

Rockville amps seems good and are underrated soundqubed subs seem to be recomended alot here and are pretty cheap. Head unit I would go JVC or Pioneer. Coaxils I would go with Polk or decent set of pioneers

Rockville amps are definitely not underrated. They do put out good power for the price though. Same with shark. Who knows how long they would last.

I don't think he'd want any "Rockville" in his car. Lol.

115 shipped and a 500 dollar budget would most likely be your best bet man. Even taylorfade was surprised by these amps. Only sold on ebay atm.

The M4 mono block one does almost 3k @ 1ohm on the dyno

It very well could do rated but he still won't do it.

And the budget increased to $1000.

Why not?

Better yet, just buy good used equipment. I'd rather purchase used equipment that are made by good brands than buy brand new equipment that isn't as good.

its good for about 1400 @ 1 ohm BEFORE rise

From what I read dynamic simulates music

everyone knows that music is recorded at a much lower DB level than a 0 db sine wave. Its asenine to think that one would get a higher power number from a weaker pre-out signal (AKA recording level in music) than a 0 db sine wave. Dynamic is just clipped BS numbers not a reliable source at all vs the actual certified run. Hifonics and audiopipe failed certified and uncertified but passed dynamic rms runs with flying colors and Their actual performance doesnt even remotely reflect the dynamic run.

It very well could do rated but he still won't do it.

Muuuch better. You got headroom for acceptable gear now. I'd try to find a memphis big belle 5 channel, some image dynamics ctx comps and an 80 prs and whatever subs you can find for cheap with a low EBP geared for sealed.
