You don't want two 12's. It's way too much for that small a car. A single 12' would sound nice in your car, at most I would say two 10's... and that's even pushing it.

these guys pretty much covered the jist of it. As for a spring/shock combo, i recommend eibach sportlines and some koni yellows.

up to you

Yes, I forgot to leave out I just got two tens and an amp from memphis - kenwood exceleron deck with usb port on it.

I had an eibach sportline 1.8 all around on my civic, didn't really like it too much.

I have one 10 inch in my car. Everyone thinks it's 2 12's. all you need is a JL Audio W3 in the box that's made for it. not too expensive either.

well thats funny, because i don't think my two tens hit hard enough. and the guy from GoHo Audio bolted the amp into the backs of my brand new seats!! didn't put the panels back right either. just noticed that when i was getting grocerys out of the car.

My single 8" Directed sub hit pretty hard for its size. I eventually got tired of the bass induced headaches and got rid of it though.

um... no. you just swap out the type s head unit with a base model's and you you're good to go.

ok well yeh that kinda upset me too, one of the reasons i picked the base model over the type-s was because it had the old school deck fitting in it - then goho replaced the entire thing - so i could have gotten the type s, with the old school look, like the base model - issed:

any one know of a good shop around here to get the suspension done at?
