[teck]

not a clean install on the subs but im working on it

[Catalyst]

Looks good dude. Are those dual decks any good? :welcome:

[MessyHonda]

yeah i say just fix up thoes wires you can mount the cap by the wheel well and the amp on the sub box so you have more trunk room

[ghettogeddy]

i Have one of those amps i got it for free

[Rockcord]

not a big fan of Dual, but hey man, looks good:) I just upgraded my subs, couldnt be happier! Alpine Deck, Pioneer 120W speakers (3" front, 5 1/2" rear) and 2 10" JBL 200W subs! :)

[teck]

the dual deck is pretty good

[Chef Boyardee]

the dual deck is pretty good

My buddy has one and says the same thing.

[MessyHonda]

did you upgrade your speakers?

[Beanshonda55]

i just bought a dual deck too and its pretty dang good for only 100$. by the why nice setup.

[Cheeseburger]

sweet!

[teck]

i got some JL sub speakers in the front and i got walmart brand speakers in the back lightning audio.
im going to replace the speakers round probly get pioneer or sony not sure yet....waiting on the budget

[MessyHonda]

yeah my dx didn't come with any rear speakers but i cut the holes and mounted some kickers 6.5 be sure to measure twice and cut once...one of my speakers were touching ground and my deck would go to safe mode and would not work.

[teck]

yeah i put 6.5 in the back also just cut the holes it worked out nicely i wanna put another pair in therein between in the middle

Aftermarket speakers look MUCH better with a DX rear deck versus the stock LX/LXi pods.

[Civic Accord Honda]

nice radio and subs

[Sabz5150]

I've had my 3g broken into... took my stereo. Funny thing is they didn't take the processor which is worth about three times as much.

noobs

[Vanilla Sky]

damn sabz, when did that happen?

not a bad looking install. don't mount the amp to the box, though. quite bad on the amp itself.

clean up the wiring, bolt that box down, and make a plate for the amp to mount to the side of your trunk and you'll have a really nice install.

Hey would the cap stop my headlights from flashing when im ballin down the street?

[teck]

i was thinking my subs are rated to handle 500 watts each so should i get 2 500 watt amps for a 1000?

[teck]

lol the cap prevents a lil headlight dimming but not much...it makes the subs sound so much better

[MessyHonda]

all 3 of them suck go panasonic,alpine or eclipse u wont be sorry

edit : or clarion if u can afford one of there top line models

[teck]

eh i go the cheap way since i used gift cards to get mine :D

[lx-i coupe]

all 3 of them suck go panasonic,alpine or eclipse u wont be sorry

edit : or clarion if u can afford one of there top line models

pioneer is actually pretty nice, though i would go with clarion (which i did), eclipse or an older alpine. i'm not a real big fan of the new ones since they only have 2 volt outputs. my friend had a really nice panasonic, the only problems were the error correction kinda sucked and it was sensitive to shock.

[RamThis]

It's a good start. I'd replace the HU soon if I were you though. It doesnt matter how good of speakers or amps you use, they will only reproduce as good of a sound signal as the HU puts out. I only, and exclusively, use Alpine. I have an older CDA-7939 in my 96 Ram with the 3 4V preouts, and an ERA-G320 Sound Field Processor run through an Ai-Net cable. With only two door speakers, and two subs under the rear seat, it would almost run you out of the cab it was so loud, and with no distortion. And that was using a 4 channel 250W RMS Clarion amp to run the whole thing, and no cap. That HU was the model right below the flagship model in 96, the motorized LCD screen one, the IVA-1000 or something like that. Shame it has some faceplate problems and CD playback problems now.

But yeah, dont skimp on the HU.

mmmmm. that sounds way nice. the only thing i'm not liking about my clarion is you can hear the tracking motor over the speakers when you change tracks. i do have some alternator whine to track down now though:rant: . i did change the condensor thing, and that helped. i have the rcas running down my center console, and the power wires down the outer pass side, so i'm not sure where it's coming from
