Turds... If you are asking for honest opinions, that's pretty much going to be the consensus. PA is only MARGINALLY better than Audiobahn.

I have one of those PS2 or gothic series amps in the garage. I use it to hold things down while im glueing things.
Civic's do very well with little equipment in them. Look into some brands like JL, Kicker, or even Fusion
They all have products that would be inexpensive and if built properly will sound much cleaner and hit much harder.
You could look into a Kicker Comp 12 with a ZX300 or ZX400 and it would be a much better setup
Or swap the Sub out for a JLW1 or W3

I am sure there are some haters of this brand but you may also want to look into powerbass. I have been expermenting with their equipment and the results have been surprising for what they cost. I have been using their asa amp line and I have tried from the s-series sub up to the L series.

Personally and this is just my opinion I would replace the PA with JL or Eclipse. But that's just my 2 cents.
