Default These subs??????????????????????????

Hi,
I have a 99 Civic LX. I'm thinking of getting these subs:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...779333180&rd=1

but first have some questions:

1. Can these be installed face down like this? Will there be a lot of wires coming from the top of the subs?

2. To power these, what amp would you recommend?(im on a budget so very expensive amps like $400 are out of the question)

3. And what kind of capacitor?


Finally, what do yall think about these too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38647

those subs are good for the price. you shouldnt need any bigger than a 500 or 600 watt amp. my buddy had those subs they are really pretty good. you shouldnt need a cap i dont think, but jut to be safe a half farad cap would do it for you. good luck.

audiobahn is good if your on a tight budget. personally i will never use them again. i had a pair of them and i hated them. their low end stuff is garbage. but like i said for the money they are ok. you wont need a cap for that setup. it doesnt draw enough to need the cap. how tight is your budget? like whats the MAX you can spend? also what are you running for a headunit?

1. It doesnt matter which way the subs face. It pushes or pull air. The wires coming out will depend on how they are wired together.

2. You need a 800x1 @ 4OHM amp. You probably can mate it with an Audiobanh amp.

3. If you insist on getting on, finding a 1 farad isnt hard. I am not too sure about brand differences.

4. Audiobanh sucks. h:

AudioBahn is actually rated the best sub, but remember higher wattage doesnt always mean it is better
