Obviously, your subs are waaay too small.
And it's a well-known fact that subs in Honda Preludes create another type of "retard".

Sure they can... it happened to a friend of mine, Blockhead, last week! He was installing some speakers (subwoofers in fact) into his car, and when he went to reach up onto the shelf that they were sitting on in his garage, they fell off and knocked that retard right in the noggin!
