I'm Back(W/ a New Car)

[Fate710 10+ year member]

Ok so I just picked up this '96 Civic DX. Its a nice car but its lacking in the sound department. The guy has an older Pioneer head unit, some Roadmaster(is that worse than flee market stuff?) 5.25s in the front doors and he had Pioneer 6.5 Revs in the rear 6x9s holes. I changed the 6.5 Revs out for some 6x9 3-way Pioneers I had laying around. Now for bump he has an older Memphis 1000watt amp on some flee market Adrenaline Bandpass 12s. Now I'm coming from owning a 18" SX on a Orion XTR1000 so I'm wanting some bump.

Here is what I've come up with.

HU: Jensen VM9410(I had one and never had a problem)

Door: Focal Polyglass 130V1 5.25 Component Set

Rear Deck: Focal Polyglass 690CV1 6x9s

Speaker Amp: Phoenix Gold ZX450

Sub(s): RE Audio 15" SE in a boxed tuned to 32Hz

Sub Amp: Phoenix Gold Octane-R 5.0:1 500x1@2ohm

Electrical: I've got a Optima Yellow Top in the car already w/ some 4-Gauge ran to the back(he had 10 gauge for power wire) and a stock alternator.

I figure this would be a great start to getting me back in the game. I want more of a SQL setup than anything. The loud bass that I had in my last setup has given some hearing problems and I'm just wanting a loud clear system now.

Well I don't have a new system yet. I guess I'll get some of the car then.

you can save money and not buy the 6x9's for the back since your going to have a component set up front

But I have people that regularly sit in the back seat so I was gona get em for rear fill.

Well I decided against the Polyglass 6x9s because for that price I'd rather put it towards my turbo kit. So I found some Polk Momo 6x9s for cheap cheap, so I'm gona pick those up.

turbo kit on the civic?

 

[Fate710 10+ year member]

I'm in the process of getting new front/rear bumpers, new tailights, and new headlights(SiR Bumper/Headlights and 99-00 Si Tails).

And yes I'm building a custom turbo kit for my civic
