99 Civic Build - Low Budget Build


Recommended Posts

Big thanks to Chode for setting me up with a UBL. I will be updating this UBL soon as I work on my car more and more.

Current System Stats:

Headunit- Sony Xplod CDXGT55UIW

Front/Rear amp- 500watt Sony Xplod 4/3 channel

Front Speakers- x2 Rockford Fosgate Primes (5.25 in. 2 way speakers)

Rear Speakers- x2 Pioneer TS A6964R (6x9 3 way speakers)

Sub amp- Rockford Fosgate P300-1 (4 gauge wiring)

Sub- x2 Kenwood 4ohm SVC

I didn't take pictures durring the install of my wiring for my amps / subs / head unit so heres a picture of putting the head unit in place.

My next project after the head unit was to install some feet lighting just for the cool looks.

I had some 12' cathode light bars from my computer laying around so I experimented with the wiring.

The finished project turned out awesome as you can see in the picture below. I added a switch to turn the lights on and off under the center console.

After my lighting I was looking to change my 6'9s in the back because I have already upgraded my 6.5s in the front from stock to sony xplods 2-ways.

I soon learned the whole back half of the car had to be torn apart, which was a pain in the butt.

After my sub was out, I started tearing the seats out and the side pannels. After that was done, all i had to do was pull the plastic covering the top part of the trunk and It came off.

I put the new Pionner TS A6964R 6'9 3-ways in where the stock 6'9s were.

I wanted to make an amp rack. Something that would hold my amps from flopping around in the trunk.

So I started with some pressboard, Spray painted it black. I thought about carpeting but I might do that at another time with another project.

I then got some measurements to spand the width of my trunk. I then mounted the amps onto the pressboard.

After I mounted the amps and the amp rack, I did a bit of wire organizing.

Ran all the wiring down under the carpet and under the center console.

I went out and got two Kenwoods in a ported box a few days after I installed 4 gauge. And I also picked up a Kenwood 1000W Class D Mono. But I later found out that it was trash.

Sony 6.5s for now. I wanna look into a Rockford 6.5 Component package.

Since this, I switched the Kenwood Amp back for my Fosgate P300-1.
