im not bashing steve in any way or calling you a nut hugger but alot of ppl see what he did and use him as a standard..

his tahoe is sick 4 18s and high 56s is sick for a "non" walled car and tuned for daily driving

Civic is a master piece with great craftsmanship

the hoopty is jus over the top!

the reason for all the woofers is with that much woofer its like your in a fukin wind tunnel! the sound that comes from sealed is more of a boomy sound..also the pressure that on your body is more or less equal threw the high 20hz all the way up to mid 40hz..this is from personal experince of hearing 155+ dB cars and a 58+ one note wonder...

this is what i mean far as alot of woofers:

The 10's list for $169 each, so 18 will be a bit over three times your budget, unless you have a different plan.

Over three grand for drivers alone? Yikes.

well far as the 18s go i have 2 of them already

and the 10s are 169 and the 12s are 244 each..

i cant afford to buy the Fi 10s or 12s right at the moment(i have to get my car paintd and shaved) Sooo im going to get PG RSD 10s or American bass 12s..the rsd's go for $50 ea and the ABs go for $67 ea.
