by the way.. i watch on JB Hifi leaflet that always stuck in my mailbox.. they not even written out the model of the product.. haha..
but the latest SPX-17PRO is kinda good.. ring radiator on their tweeter.. i think they wanna follow their flagship model on Z18T and Z15M.. but not sure SPX's tweeter made from where.. as i know Z18T and Z15M is OEM by ScanSpeak.. =)
personally my civic just installed 9887 + KTX-100Q only.. as im still thinking what kind of components need to be installed.. but my previous car using ScanSpeak drivers.. supported by Genesis Absolute xover.. running on Thesis.. subwoofer on Morel Ultimo with Hammer H-1.. Helix 1 Farad cap..
the latest K series of Focal have some good review.. but never had chance to audit it.. maybe someone here had install and might give me a try? =p
lol yeh im not into the whole performance thing, but my laptop's screen is bust and out of warranty plus its a pretty decent laptop
i thought i might as well hook it up to external lcd touch screen so i don't waste it
at least i can get GPS, MP3, Videos, youtube internet watever etc... going on in my car lol :P
gona see if i can get it all done for around $400, double din i guess less than $200? gona see if i can get touchscreen lcd monitor for less than 200, dono if i need second battery but all the wires and electric stuff i hope less than 50bux?? gota look into it and see if its difficult to do
so ur gonna hook up ur laptop to this external lcd touchsceen headunit and ur laptop is hooked into the car???
be interestin where u gonna place ur laptop... theres not much room in the front.. unless u remove the passenger seat and put a computer desk there.. lol
or better yet, could somehow do a slide-out-table.. lik they have out in the planes for meals and stuff.. connect ur laptop on that
gona put the laptop below the passenger seat, more than enough space.. and can put the wires under the carmats.. and detach the LCD screen of the laptop as well
another possible place is in the glovebox since i don't even use it, both should fit easily and should have no problems hooking up
ill post a link where i found some guy with a US Civic has done it successfully
a laptop in ur car with wireless internet connection so u can log into ozhonda while u drive.. hehe
srzly y have a laptop in da car unless u have some srz gear in runnin diagnostic checks while u boost in race wars.. fast & da furious style
Shrug? porns? lol.
Also for stereo thingy i dont know much into it all, heheh maybe because my ears is not that good.
All I know my old car cx7 produced awesome sounds to my ear...Bose system...is that considered EQ setting? i love it when I play Jazz music you sorta could hear the music is coming live from the front as a whole instead of separate front back left n right kinda thing..
And for the loud base music the kick sounds more round...if you know what I mean? Can we produce the same quality into our car civic? or this is something towards factory setting kinda thing?
yeah u could use a little netbook -maybe mod the glove-box compartment a bit if it all doesn't fit or just buy parts and fit it urself.. mount the motherboard to the bottom of glovebox and everything on it + psu on the side and wires through/behind dash to the screen so you don't have to leave laptop in there. although would be easier i think to use laptop with power inverter/adapter of some sort connected to external screen. let us know how you go!

Netbooks tend to have crappy fans/ventilation system (e.g. Dell Mini9 has none). Better off buying a small casing and using that. Also some laptops have no external power button (i.e. you need to lift up the screen to press the power button) as I realised when I tried to set up a home office docking station with my own LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse.
As another suggestion if you don't want to buy/build a small computer, alot of people have used Mac Mini in the past. Whilst Mac OS X is the default option, you can also install Win XP on it if you really wanted since they run Intel CPUs.
