well i have a 2k1 civic lx sedan and was wondering if

1. can i install an amp+sub with my stock headunit?

my cars been broken into 2x and dont wanna atract any more attention.....i was thinking about putting a headunit in the glove compartment but not worth it since im getting a new car within 4 or so months

2. i plan on gettin an Orion XTR900.2 & two Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 subs2 ......will i have a problem with the battery/alternator being underpowered?

3. also what kinda box would u guys recommend?....all this "tune the box" stuff is makin my brain hurt

4. how long would it take to install this? (i've helped my friends with installs but im more of a "mechanics" kinda guy).....anybody wanna help?....i got lots of beer =)

also are there any places in the bay area (im from berkeley) that i can take a look at speakers and what not?.....places like Best buy and what not usually dont have things set up.....also anybody got good hook ups?.....thanks in advance guys

1) Yes
2) No problems
3) Sealed is the most common enclosure
4) About an hour or 2

I'd help ya but I live a little too far away.

wow fast response.....lol.....thanks for the offer anyways litespeed!

you could always drive up to seattle and then I could help ya. I was also worried about having an aftermarket stereo being seen in my car so I installed subs, amp, and changer all on the stock unit in my trunk and there is no way to tell that i have aftermarket stereo equip unless someone hears my subs or looks in my trunk. What I did was I bought an MTX amp and used the speaker level inputs to the rear speakers. The MTX amp I have turns on/off when it gets/loses signal through the speaker level inputs so I didn't need a remote turn-on lead. I don't know if that Orion amp does the same but this made it really easy for me to install everything.

wow......sounds koo......lol ironic thing is that i used to drive up to seattle at least 1x a month a couple years ago....lol.....
