Wash, wax, vaccum, detail & clean the plexi & such. About 2hrs if I have that much time. W/E possible I'll do it the night b4 since it sleeps in the garage, and just roll out the next day feelin all shiny and sexified.
I swear it RUNS better when it's clean.
During the summer I wash and wax it every weekend. Cali summers are THE BEST IMO.

I'm pretty sure the only folks on here w/ Integras are not interested in this, but I thought I'd update it once at least just in case and add:
THERE ARE MORE/BETTER PICS OF THIS BOX/SETUP IN THE MEMBER BUILDS/SHOWOFF SECTION UNDER THE BUILD OF MY 1997 INTEGRA. It also shows how this was built.
Thnx.

X2 on the garage CRANAGE. I feel ya man, I cant really tune in the garage just too much crap starts fallin off the walls/rafters, not to mention the neighbors aint luvin it.
Towers are lookin dope man, can't wait for the "in house" demo when the Picasso's start flying off Chickin's walls
BTW-Steve, how's the electrical in ur garage? Stock? or upgraded? The shit I'm werking with is from the 70's and it freaks out if u run more than 15amp draw off any socket, and I jst had to re-wire one of the wall sockets after it fizzled out. I was contemplating a plug in AC/DC converter box for benchin equipment out there and maybe having some better tunes while I werk than my lil boom box but I think the current draw would trip the breaker every time. I know you'r a construction guy so i was just curious if u beefed up ur garage electrical at all for times like this when u gotta test run....perhaps a 2000watt sub/mid tower?

Compressor & Brad nailer like I used in woodshop have been on my xmas list every year for 10 years now, and NO LUCK. I always get punked for xmas. oh well, Predrill, countersink, screw, screw, screw it!
-
With notice so I can make arrangments with/work & school, I'm there for sure, I'd bring as many folks as I could, most w/ no chance of scoring well but they want to be TL metered. Maybe me +3 or so.

I dont need correcting. I was refferring if u dont see dimming while having a cap that u still have a problem.
OK. then IAM confused.
What would be the problem if your lights were not dimming?
If they are not dimming, then the electrical is keeping up w/ the demand of the system and your lights. Right?
So how is that a problem?
Or are you trying to say that in any case, regardless of lights/system/etc working PERFECTLY, the mere presence of a cap = "problems"???
If so I don't follow.
-
Damn.
How's THAT for versatility.
Like pick ur poison: spl or sq.
sounds cool, i'll have to check it out for sure.

Correction-If your lights are dimming, you have a problem. if they aren't, you should be ok. If the electrical can keep ur lights from dimming in all weather, that would indicate YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT reserve and charging in your electrical system. So no worries.
If you have enough electrical reinforcement, your lights wont dim.period.
If you have a low power setup, a 1F cap will prolly be ok and help. From my exp around 1000 true rms watts if the max. Anything over that And you guys (megalo&james) are right caps are not gonna help and will prolly HINDER, as the stock alt will die trying to keep everything charged and supply power tot he system.
If you have a 20,000watt setup, 80F aint gonna save you from the electron monsters.
THAT's why most folks hate on caps I think. They ASSUME it's a high power setup automatically. The distinction should be made: Low power, caps ok, high power setups, you're better off with something that holds more power like BATTERIES AND you should have the means to keep them sufficiently CHARGED like one or more High output alts.
And a Digital Voltage display is always good.

The more you open it the more air/bass can get into the cabin and thus the louder/cleaner your bass will be. Steve opened his up pretty big so that even if the seats were UP the subs could still hammer thru that giant throat and bounce off the rear window. I know he left the seats down for comps but i'm sure it was damn loud even w/ the seats up. Prolly around 200in^2 in that rear deck opening. The free-er & open the better.
-
Man I really hope I make to AutoRama so i can hear that setup.
I've always been a fan of "optimized" setups like bandpass and Tlines just never had a program or any of the math but ur tutorial makes me confident I could pull it off and I have TONNS of subs layin around to play with so off we go. :watsup:
Good luck at AR and hopefully I'll see ya there.

4-12's would be CAKE in that trunk. I have 4-12's (sealed mind you) in my trunk and still have room for golf clubs/bag. So,as long as ur "decent-good w/ glassing/tubbing ur trunk" and "sneaky" when it comes to keeping it removable, unless you don't care about it coming out ever, you can fit more than 4-12's, and 1-15's would easy pending you're not looking at a box over 6-7ft cubed AND keep it removable. Hell, look at how Steve CRAMMED those RF 18's into the first build of the civic. It was built in butin his case that was worth it. I can vouch for it being a beast (even tho it's louder now w/ the RE's in a wall). I remember watching him hand me my ass in the db drag lanes at Infineon and that was the first time I realized you could ripp ur car apart w/ flex as his rear window moulding was flappin in the wind like a kite string.
Maybe take a look at the build log of his first setup in the civic for some ideas, but you can surely fit that^ gear in that trunk in a number of "cool" & "loud" ways.

People usually say a cap is "no good" or "not worth it" because it is more "storage" (of electrical charge/power) THAT REQUIRES CHARGING by your alt. That said, in SOME cases it can help.
With LOWER power setups (1000w rms or less), the draw from the cap on big bass note or bass heavy track will not be sufficient to "kill" the cap completely so the alt, even a stock alt, will be able to recharge it QUICKLY/sufficiently and the cap will serve it's intended purpose of a "buffer" for ur amp between the battery and help with keepin lights from dimming. When the bass slams, it eats some (usually lots) of juice, and the cap can DISCHARGE and RECHARGE faster than a normal battery so in that regard it helps to keep the overall system voltage more constant/consisitent.
IMO, caps w/ a digital voltage readout are MORE benificial than any other might be (barring HUGE caps like a 15F-40F or battcap) because more often than not, the REAL downfall of electrical setups is Lack of AWARENESS of system voltage i.e. INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT (not enough cca's and/or ability to recharge) which causes major voltage drops. Voltage drops make amps work harder, overheat, put BAD/Clipped signal into subs and basically wreak havoc on ur system. If you have a digital readout and can WATCH your voltage DIVEBOMB under 9volts, if you have ANY common sense you will lower the volume or gain and let it recover b4 you roast something. Without KNOWING your real time voltage, it's a lot easier to just pound your setup into an early grave.
That has just been my exp. I'm sure some folks will try to shoot holes in that theory and they are welcome to it I will not pretend to know everything about electrical/charging setups nor overlook the fact that EVERY SETUP is unique and will have different results w/ the same/similar products, This is just what I have encountered as an CA "installer". Adding a digital Real time Volt meter ha shad the most impact on the life span/longevity of electrical systems in setups I have built.
In my own vehicle I have a PG Tantrum 1200.1 (1521rms @ 2ohm birthsheet) and a 600.4 for the mids. With the stock alt, Stinger SP1000, and a 1F cap I have minimal/barely noticable dimming in cold weather and none in the summer time.
Next upgrade will be a 200A Iraggi unit and at least 1 deepcycle when I swtich to 4 amps, but for now it's pretty solid.
Hope that helps clear up some of the "cap or no cap" controversey.

...im not sure now actually i thought i read somewhere they were 13s but maybe im hallucinating but this car doesnt come with a doughtnut wheel its a full size spare
its a pretty damn big space to work with im not sure how it sounds tho i think a proper box would sound my better/cleaner but im sure you know how to make spare tire whells sound good bro cause your work is nuts! Aw shucks
Seriously, thanks for sayin so man. I appreciate it.
I can't wait to rebuild my car next summer, esp since I just came up on some pretty nice equipment for a ridiculous price.
I been givin a buddy some Tech support on his spare tire build of 4 CVX 10's in his 300zx, and It's gettin me all giddy for another big build. Summer time it will go down and you can bet I'll be posting that build and it will be much BIGGER, AND LOUDER than what I have now.
150 daily club here we come :shiftyph34r:

If you have THAT nice of a ride, your mods/rims/audio better be a "WOW" too, hence the upgrade. Untill "STOCK" can pull ##'s and get you the finger in traffic it will never be enough.
On that 745 link-Are those really 13's in there? They look like 10's. If they really are 13's that trunk gotta be HUGEMONGOUS. (Mafia friendly).
Can't wait to see what goes down in there.
BTW, you ever get those scratches taken care of?
-
Nice ride and nice job on the deck install.
Personally I would stuck w/ the pioneer, but to each his own.
Lets see some build pics :construction:of the trunk/hatch area once ya get crackin on it.
-
Why do I wanna think this is an episode of punked w/ a stunt setup like an air piston off camera that flips the car. It just goes over too easy for me to beleive 100%.
-
I think you better look at what site this is.
If FOUR Fully loaded Fi BTL 18's isn't "too much" for a daily...one will prolly be ok...As long as it's in a hatch :watsup:

I'm betting he DOESN'T.

Do a search.

The dumbasses that host the carshows here say the TL is a piece of shit...I even argued with them about one day on a forum and they said if I didn't like the AC then not to attend their shows any more.
That's what I'd do...I do it now to get metered at the local car shows on the AC :meh:yea TL would be tight, but i wouldnt buy one until i have money stored away and extra money to spend.which is a long ways away.
You could show up to the local shows(Texas Basss Productions or Hardcore Customs) and get metered for $20. Also I have a friend in Flower Mound that might meter you for free.
new TL over at the shows here fyi and friend has a TL as well
'' [glow=red,2,300]We don't have to copy every one and use the same meter every one uses...That would make the car shows boring[/glow]"- Fucking idiots
I have heard of some "JENKY" show-orgs/competiton setups PREFERRING older more "big number friendly" mics like the AC, Linear-x, etc for the fact that most folks come thru thinking they have THE LOUDEST SETUP IN THE UNIVERSE, and don't like it when you tell them: "sorry homie you didn't break 140 on the TL"
They wanna have at least one "160db" car at the show so the folks that show wil have shit to talk about and thus get more comps setup w/ better turnout (and thus more $$) in the future. Thus they "tune their mics" accordingly.
Pretty weak if u ask me.
-
DAYUM MAN,
Not since woodshop have I played w/ one of them.
Never really had a use for it, just had to prove I could do it right for a grade.
Maybe I'm not an "O.G."
And then Just got crackin on some boxes and amp racks.
Good times.

<--Against whoring as any whore might ever whore or have whored...I only post when it's worth it/contributing/ helpin somebody else out. I'll let my comments/rep speak for itself. You need a Q answered I will try to post help, but if it's a stoopid thread or not needing a response, just leave it be. No need to up ur post count for some petty "LOL, :W:, :w00t:,x2" shit along that "10 char post limit".

A photoCHOP would be easier if you could post a sideview shot of the whole car not front/rear bumper cutoff just a nice profile w/ wheels straight ahead. Straight ahead wheel views are easier to find and swap for stockers.
