I dont know too much about subwoofers and amps but i would like to know in anyones opinion what would be the better brand and combination to get for a 2006 honda civic. I have about 600 to spend

 

you can never go wrong with JL. expensive but very good

can you install all this stuff yourself, because if you cant, your gonna get ripped off on installation fees.

go 10" sub if you want a clean base, a 12" sub if you want a deep, hard hitting base.

id go with a
-alpine type R 12" 4 ohm = $150-200
-any alpine amp that can handle the RMS power with i think is around 250-500 = $250
-box/wiring/capacitor (if you want it) = ~$100

PS. this is my understanding ...i might be wrong

 

I can tell you if you want some of the more powerful JL brand it's gonna run you well over $600 bucks. If you want something decent from JL like a 12" sub and matching amp, you could probably squeeze it under your budget, but it's close.

Check out the Audio/Video/Security forum on this site. They're pretty helpful!

 

Yeah i cant install it by myslelf i wouldnt know where to begin but my boyfriend said JL is good but i have an alpine cd player in my car so i was going to go with that

 

Alpine makes good head units, but there subs aren't really all that. Their amps are pretty good, but i would definitely go with JL or another high end brand for a sub.

 

What other high end brands are there other than JL Audio??

Kicker puts out decent power, but their miles away from JL quality. Meaning JL will last you much longer. FOCAL also makes subwoofers, but they are very expensive to. I wouldn't recommend anything else though. Just don't get anything from Wal-Mart or the thrift store and you should be alright.

 

JBL ftw powerful extremely well known stuff and not 2 expensive !

 

Well i found this place that will install it for 80 and i get a military discount so thats ok with me i decided to go with the JL audio. They showed me kicker also but everyone told me JL audio is the best
