dont type in capitals

one brand systems are never usually a good idea

Not really suited for SQ type installs (not to say people dont but there are alot better for SQ) and goes damn loud thats for sure in the right box.

Not a huge Kicker fan, they seem to have lost there way after making some excellent gear.

If you do intend to run one have you got the space for 5-10 cubic feet of box?

The 2000 watts plus power, the extra batteries etc??

In a Civic? Juiced? That sub and generously sized box alone is gonna be a total back end filling job ;) Then the amps and hydro kit on top of that...

yep there was plenty of space left for the hydraulics

samuelellis
16-01-2004, 01:45 AM
a honda civic tho

why?

and going for a all in one brand has not often made good systems, better off mixing and matching

or using normal subs in a wall

:confused: There was, or will be after you build the hypothetical massive Solo-X box?

16-01-2004, 01:51 AM
th solo x going to be facing the front so it going to be like 3" behind me leaving plenty of room

Mr Bump
16-01-2004, 01:53 AM
You do realise how big the box will need to be?

Roughly 20 x 20 x 30 inches.

One big box! Probably bigger!!

I was just about to say that :lol:

Is that for an entire system majsvibe? Or do you have anything already? I wouldnt get a Solo-X personally...

EDIT: Have you considered how pointless it is to build a replica of a current show car?

Most is in the install...all down to personal taste too so try and hear a few if you can to help you decide.

the thing to do is have a listen to either and make you own mind up, the best one is the one that sounds the best to you ;)

I heard the demo civic a the NEC last year, personally i thought it sounded pretty 'well' (BassNazi's 'well' means it played pretty loud and low) and the box was not massive-it's a civic.

But if you have 10 -15 cuft i would go for 2x15" with a fair size port and 4k or more

sounds like you've got some rude rides hidden away.... show us some pics... who sold you an air set with a car running that much power? not a good idea!!!! You will never get a sub box and air set in the boot of a civic.. are you ditching the rear seats? what are you running under the bonnet of the civic? which motor? also who built the gearbox? cause i'm looking for a decent company at the mo... which air set did you get? gotta be very careful running that much power with no fixed shox... could easily stick you 6 feet under!

let us all see/hear what you got cause i'm very interested!

Did anyone notice that in the Red Civic, they had put the Solo X in upside down comparing it to the 8's underneath, the red and grey bits behing the 'S' in the middle were the other way round.
