Now it came with

Bass Engine: Bass Engine functions provide control over your system, so you can tailor the sound to your personal tastes. Bass Engine includes the following functions:

Bass Center Frequency Control: To tailor bass response to your preference, you may select the bass control's center frequency. You may select from the following center frequencies: 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 200Hz.

Also control trebles frequecies..


What frequencies are ideal to use with the civic coupe? I have old school aftermarker pionneer speakers in the back but stock in the front...

For subs i have Two RF HX2s in a sealed box with a punch 500s amp and a 1 farad cap

Its getting there!!!

Next up..... a component system.... Now who also makes sick components? So far im thinking about Rockford and Alpine again.

uuuh nice!
most everyone here seems to like Alpine.

Good choice, that is a nice deck for the money. I have last years version of that (cda-9807) in my Ranger and have no complaints at all about it besides that I don't like the sound of the media expander but that can be turned off so that doesn' matter. I just got my new cd player for the civic last week as well, but I decided not to go Alpine this time. As far as components, I would go with JL or Alpine, they are great sounding speakers and I would recommend an Alpine, JL, or Eclipse amp to push them.

Not really...if you lock into only one company you end up limiting your on quality. The best thing is to go and listen to different speakers and then pick what sounds the best to you...if it's Alpine then alright. But listen to everything because you may find something that sounds better.

not sure how much you want to spend on fronts, but i really like my MB Quarts. kinda spendy, but they sound awesome IMO.

[cynosurecivic]

for components, i personally want to get the polk/momo sets. they sound awesome!

The best component set that I've heard in a long time is the new Boston Z Series. They are the tweeter and woofer out of the their VRM line of home speakers for all you buffs out there. The only bad part...the 6 1/2" retails for $1000. Ahhhhhhh....the price of good sound.
