Civic Coupe Trunk
Hey guys
I was wondering what are the biggest sizes woofers i can fit in a civic coupe. I did measure it myself and i cant really remeber, but i think it was between 16.5-17 inches high, which in theory makes it almost impossible to fit a 15 inch sub w/ box (if u use 3/4 mdf), but yet I've seen in twice in person and read about it on other forums. I wanna fit 2 15s in my civic pretty bad has anyone here had any experiences or owned a civic like that, even any ideas would help...ill measure it again later on and make sure of the size btw its a 94 coupe Thanks alot |
Well if that's the height, you can easily fit 15's. Remember, the cut out is only 13.5-14", and you can have the flange sitting right to the edge if necessary, which in your case is not since it's 16.5-17" of height available. Also, you can slope the mounting baffle to give you more surface area, sholuld you need it.

wow 2 15's.... are you looking to only hit one note?... i suggest getting a dvc 15, and 2 svc 10's just so that a 2 ohm load is easily reachable and a full frequence range is possible. withought skipping beats
|
^ dude, do some research or some listening, preferably both
|
aight; if the trunk is 17" high I might also figure no more then 36" wide and 16" deep ???
well whatever man you can probably find a pair of 15s that will work for you :thumbsup: that aside, if you are willing to do some work you should also consider an infinate baffle setup and if you are looking for really good results with a small box try a google on aperiodic membrane installs.. |

Lots of different 15's that can fit in small(relatively) sealed boxes and sound great. Alpine type R's for instance, sound super d duper in a 1.5 cube sealed. As for the one note bit, they must not have been set up right. 15's are my sub size of choice, unfortunately I needed space in my trunk.

beautiful thats amazing news thanks alot
you dont understand the joy that brings me :smilie_da :smilie_da One more quick question...someone told me that even if i can fit 15s in my trunk it wont sound good because something about me not having enough airspace in my trunk...is this somewhat true btw i was looking at getting 2 type r 15's aswell :) :smilie_da |
well, every speaker performs differently in different cars, but from experience I have to disagree. I've had 15's in old(87-90) mustang coupes that destroyed the neighbourhood back in the day. I've heard many sunfires, cavaliers and civics with 15's, one guy had 2x18's in his civic, and they were scary loud, and clean. Just follow Alpine's recomendations for a sealed box(optimum), I see it's 1.625 cuft net per driver, so 3.2 cubes for 2. Just make sure you have the power for them as they do need a lot to really jam, especially in a sealed box.

i have an olschool cadence a7 that puts out a clean 1200 rms at 1ohm which i think will be just about perfect for those 2 subs
i cant wait :D |
It'll definitely bump with that, but those subs can handle 750 each, and I've seen guys put 1500 to them for 10 minutes with no problem. I just got a Kicker sx-1250 that I'm running to my two type r 12's, and it's loving it. Birth sheet 1420 watts rms!!
|
the funny thing is ive heard that too, but i previously owned a 12inch type r too and it blew horribly...it was hooked up to a jbl bp1200 though :D very nice sub tho
|
Well, even though it'll do it. I don't recommend you over power your subs too often or for a long period. Honestly, you would have to be deaf to be able to put up with it. I usually crank it for a little bit and then back off to normal volumes. I like my hearing and after 20 years of car audio, i can still say that my hearing is as good as it gets for a guy my age. It's all due to responsible listening.

Should be possible to do... I have a 98 Civic and I had a pair of 15's in it for a few years... pounded pretty good for sealed boxes.
|
I had a 98 and what i did was 1 15" orion XTR sub up port along the bottom firing back with a HCCA 225 old school and was verrrrry loud! 2 is cool but 1 in a ported enclosure would be a better choice and buy a sub thats as good as the amp ie Kicker,rockford,DD and an old type r or interfire sub.http://www.canadiancaraudio.com/online/images/smilies/smokin.gif
:smokin: |
I have a 15" type R 06 model (way better than the old model) in a 4 cu. ft box tuned 32hz and it gets very loud in my car. Ive also put in a 12" type r in my friends civic box was 2.25 cu ft tuned to 34hz also got loud.
