Opinions on my planned 12-speaker setup for new 2006 civic

does it even matter?? not like ur gonna go around telling ppl 'my 11speaker system sh*%ts on ur 4.1 system' issert??

longs each part of ur system is quality & tuned well.

for the record, a tweeter IS a speaker. so is a midrange/midbass woofer. n a subby. so this:

Back on topic (sorry for double post but.. wanted to bump this);

Does it count as 11 speakers if say... you have a normal Civic with 4 speakers (no tweeters). Then you replace the 2 front speakers with speakers with twin tweeters (ie. effectively 6 speakers incl. 4 tweeters), and replace rear ones with components (ie. effectively 4 speakers incl. 2 tweeters), and then add a subwoofer?

would b a 8.1 speaker system. (pair of splits/components up front(2 woofers+2tweeters), pair of splits/components in the rear (2 woofers+2tweeters), & a subby

Nah that wasn't the point of me saying that... I was actually thinking if this guy was gonna go out and put 12 speakers in his car (for whatever reason), then maybe he might wanna go the route of using tweeters/coaxial layout so that he doesn't need to make new speaker moulds/holes?

Btw wouldn't that be 10.1 though because the front will have twin-tweeter speakers (ie. 4 total)?

yer i guess. only cus i thought he was gonna b REPLACING the stocks with aftermarket gear. y would u leave anything stock?? more speakers aint better. meh, i didnt read the whole thread, wateva chylld does is up to them

I also don't know why he wants 12 speakers... I personally think he'd be better off using the money from buying 12 average speakers to just replace existing ones with some good quality speakers and using the tweeter slots in the Civic (which are unused in Australian Civics). He could add a centre speaker if he really wanted to do 5.1; but I don't think there'd be much use going much further than that- especially since it'll be harder to fit the extra speakers as opposed to just using the stock slots.

i am gonna be replacing the stock speakers... first step will be to throw away the stock fronts and get some nice splits to replace them.

only ones i'm not sure about at this stage are the ones in the rear deck, i plan to leave those stock as they're only there to provide some rear fill anyway. if i find they're really hurting the SQ then i'll upgrade them but meh.

yeh i decided not long after starting this thread that 12 speakers would have been overkill... also as micka said on the first page:

I'm planning to leave my rears stock for now- it's quite low on the priority list. Plan to change the fronts to the RF twin-tweeter splits soon though to make full use of my 4ch amp. If adding rear speakers, I'd have to amp them and that would require me to purchase a monoblock amp (i'd move my sub from the 4ch to the mono) so the cost would be quite significant for what I think would be a small increase in SQ (for the driver anyway).
