This is kinda off topic, but... has anyone personally used dynomat? I've heard the testimonials and stuff, but is it really worth shellin' out the money? And will it stop my trunk rattle if i'm bumpin' 2 12's?

[EM2MAGMET914]

oo ok well ive hear capisitors can kill your charging system cuz alt basically working for 2 batteries but idk ill look into it

and as for the dynomat i guess it depends on if u locate the noise of the rattle n all tht..like for me if i did the trunk it would reduce a bunch of exterior vibrations but what i noticed is my rear decklid was going hella crazy so i just shoved some old rags between it and the window but trunk rattles still cuz cant afford dynamat but isnt there a thread on here on tht?



got it

You could always get 2 type rs and the 1000/1 alpine amp. Haha, that would sounds amazing and hit so damn hard.

[Wolfgang5884]

IMO definitely get a capacitor if you are going to push 2 12"s. My lights were dimming until I got one. As for putting extra stress on an alternator, I had mine for about 3 years and my alternator and battery are running fine.

[EM2MAGMET914]

alright thnx wolfgang so ima thinkin ill prob do wut bjanzen said but i kno its .5 farads for every 1000 watts right? sorry if im mistaken but yea my question is..if i get a higher farad capicitor than i need at the moment would tht cause any problems? cuz i dont wanna get one now and then whn i upgrade again get a higher farad one can i just get a bigger one now?

[BJanzen]

No it will not. I would probably get a 2 farad capacitor if you are running 2 type r's. I have a one farad for a 600 rms amp and it runs perfectly fine, no dimming. 2 farad should be able to hangle 1000 rms fairly well. You will want a better battery then stock if your running a 1000 rms. Also upgraded grounds, possibly a grounding kit.

im more of a Pioneer sub guy and Kicker those are 2 great brands in my opinion my friend had 4 12inch kickers in his trunk 2L5s and 2L7s with a 4000 watt amp and a battery in the trunk if u wanna talk power u should off seen that thing it was so loud he cracked his rear window and shook his rear view mirror right off now thats power!

[EM2MAGMET914]

lol shoulda gotten stronger glass lol

but yea i read online its .5 farafs per 500watts rms so im guessing idk ill get like a 2 farad capaitor just to have enough room for when i improve.

i deff wanna put in a grounding kit with 1/0 gauge wire asap and i need a battery only question is Duralast GOLD or optima yellow top? does the duralast have the deepcycle like the optima? or is there no diff? cuz duralast has more CCA but i dont want it to die out like my oem battery did

[CivicDriver03]

get a bigger alternator amp king

I think Steve Meade's sound system is worth more than his car

[ArjoonKumar]

i have 2 jl w1's in my civic. The hit well, but they still make the car rattle a lot. I would recommend them for a civic

[ArjoonKumar]

o and i spent 400-500 on the two subs

[EnvyX]

i have 3 10" subs in my trunk, two of which are alpine type-r's. the sound QUALITY blows pioneers out of the water, as well as kicker. those are both loudness subs. if your going for a tight bass, then id reccommend a single 10" in a small, sealed box.
fyi your also supposed to change your box any time you change your subs.
as for good sq subs, you should go with boston acoustics, alpine, or polk or jl
but if you cant power the subs right then dont get them at all.
your amp should supply at least 80% of the subs rated rms power
