New member Username: MikeminyiPost Number: 9 Registered: Oct-04 | I am trying to build a excellent car audio system on a limited budget for my Honda Civic Coupe. The pieces I already ordered are: 1. Eclipse 3414 HU 2. Eclipse 32440 CAR AMP (80x4)rms 3. Pair of CADENCE ZXN-6K (75rms/each, 4ohm) Now all I need to complete my system is a Sub. I love all kinds of music, so I want a sub that give me Sound Quality for different kinds of music. I am looking to spend about $80 on the sub and the enclosure. What is your guy's suggestion? 1. What kind of sub should I get to complete my current system? 2. Is it better to get the sub with box shipped from Ebay or get the Sub and try to look for a box at the local pawn shop? Thanks in advance for your tips and comments, as I have build my entire system based on the suggestions I heard on this Forum. You guys definetly know your stuff!! Mike |

Silver Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 976 Registered: Jun-04 | the jl 12w4 was a good choice should match up very nice with your amp bridged heres a link for your subs specs http://www.4autostuff.net/jl/subwoofer_specifications.htm should hang right with the perfect 12 the reason i choose the jl is because ive had a few and i know what they sound like and they dont take tons of power to sound good and put out more than enough spl for everyday |
