Chuchs - The " Mad Flex CRX " Build Log ( 1991 Honda CRX TUNED LOW )

[StreetPoetryProductions]

good work so far I've always liked the crx wouldn't mind owning one but can never seem to find one in decent shape for a decent price.

Thanks man, I was considering getting another 12" XXX because I really love how the driver performs but the only thing im not impressed with is the price of getting another one. In the right box running both common chamber & a single massive or 2 larger aero ports with another ground pounder amp might propell me into the 148s-149 range tops im thinking. I had also considered trying a single 18" XXX as well haha. Time will tell what happens, original plan was single sundown z18v3 or sundown nightshade 18 or 4 mid line 12s on a pair of these amplifiers strapped. Only time will tell which direction the build goes...

sounds like the same boat I was in when I found the car. Seemed like a decent price including 2 sets of rims both with brand new tires & fairly lows KM on the unit for a 1991. I seen it come up for sale for 1,500 told the lady I would bring her 1,300 cash & she accepted. She was terrified of winter driving after putting that small ding in the front fender so it hadnt been driven in winter for 3 years she said haha. Before owning this car I ALWAYS dreamed about getting one!

crx's do get loud easy but like you said anybody can make a 60hz box and fart some tones..i prefer the 20hz to 36 38 hz range.. anything above gets annoying

i sure do miss my 1991 crx i had that little thing doing 147s legal at like 35hz (i think) and with minimal equipment.. with 250lbs of audio i still got mid 30mpg lol

Just a video showing the setup after upgrading the electrical ( wiring & high output alt ) The setup still needs a pair of batteries in the back before the electrical is right up to par & completed. Probably the last video you will see of this setup, in just over 3 weeks is a local show & after the show im going to be removing the woofer to sell after I bring it along to give some demos with. Rebuilding the sub stage going a different route. I had alot of fun with this sub & for a single 12" woofer it a BEAST on the LOWS PERIOD!

Metering the setup, showing it hit 144.5, 144.9 then finally 145db @ 34hz, showing it shake some stuff inside my house when parked outside, showing some more flex in the rain, some shirt movement, giving myself a small hairtrick on my short hair LOL & giving the girlfriend a small hairtrick at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing the 12" RE Audio XXX substage build, but in a month its onto somthing to propel me closer to 150db range at low 30hz! I know a part of me is gonna miss this woofer tho if I choose to sell it because it is BEAST MODE! If I cant let her go, im gonna build a nice big subwoofer enclosure to use inside my home studio.
