Im looking to get a nice system off CL for my 98 civic coupe. You guys recommend going that route ? Im a newb when it comes to cars so take it easy on me.

Not looking to put to much money into the car. Im saving up for something newer probaly by next year but wanna make this car a nice clean ride till the daycomes when I have to sell it.

Is this any good ? would it even fit ? http://newyork.craigslist.../lgi/ele/1478987864.html

Toss the rear speakers since you don't need them. It'll also leave 2 holes open in the rear deck to allow more bass into the cabin.

0 gauge terminals for the big 3 wire cop 4 pair of these.

Use the sound deadening on the doors, rear deck, and trunk lid. 1 roll is 64 sq. DO IT YOURSELF. Don't take it to a shop to get done or else you'll endup paying 250-300 just on deadening.

Also clean up the door before u lay it on...alcohol works.

Use about 25 on each door and use the resto n the rear deck and trunk lid.

should look like this when done



Remember to cover up all the holes in the door.

When u go to the shop, tell them to run the signal and power on opposite sides of the car to avoid interference.

Also tell them to run 0 gauge to the distrobution block, then 4 gauge to each amp.

Have the speakers high passed @ 70 hz. not 80.


When you get it installed, come back here so i can tell you how to set the gains to make sure everything is right.
