[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8754084, member: 681842"] I'm pretty sure the stereo in that car runs fiber optic Mine was a 2010 and it had fiber optic Something to keep in mind when looking for a DSP I think if you want to get the sound you're looking for you need to look into a new box and a new amp The M series didn't have as much sound deadening material in as the regular 3 series did (weight reduction) but there is still more than the average civic is going to have. I think a ported box and a amp that puts out 500 watts @ 4 ohms will work You can use that JX 500/1 to run the 8's under the seats (two 8's @ 8ohms each is a 4 ohm load ). Just have to set the gain back a bit The only other problem is the LC2i so you might have no choice in having to get a DSP I can see you like JL but you can get better or equal equipment for way cheaper For the price of one JL 12w3 you could have got 2 SSA Demons or 3 Soundqubed HDS2's And If it were me I would stay away from those 5 channel amps Subs were meant to have their own amp Look at the SFB line from sundown and try Dayton for a DSP You can probably pick them both up for under $300 If you are not handy with woodworking then have whatever shop you go to build you a box [/QUOTE]
