I drive a 1988 Honda Civic DX 4 door Sedan! I want to install a bangin car audio set up. What all do i need? Can I do all the work myself? How much will all of this cost me? Any advice is welcome! Thanks!
Im scared of the system draining my battery and making my car die. So is there any way to get a separate battery to sit in the trunk with the system? If so how do i go about doing thins? is it easy?
 
If you have never installed anything before then you better dedicate about 12hours worth of reading and learning before you will get it right. Go to your local battery store and get a battery with a high AmpHour rating (100 or better). Get about 8 foot worth of 1/0 guage wire and do the big 3 (research if you dont know what that is). Go to RDaudio.net and get a 1000.1 amp, and 2 RD Classic 12s. Then build a box that is around 4cu ft ported with about 48sq in of port tuned close to 34hz. This setup will beat your honda apart gaurenteed. Go to caraudio.com/forum to do research. Good luck.
 
Its not as easy at it sounds. Firstly, a "bangin" system will go deep into your pockets. There are a whole bunch of components that are necessary for the ultimate sound system, and they arent cheap. As a nub to the car audio world, it is best to go for a mediocre system. Might cost you around 500+ but at least you could get a feel for what you really want.First, a descent aftermarket stereo and speakers. Then an amp for your speakers, or if you like bass, add some subs. Keep in mind you have a civic and your battery power wont be able to handle alot of power. So you might need to upgrade that end. I recommend researching deep into car audio to figure out what you really want so you wont regret. (trust me i learned the hard way.)
