Loud & Low 8th Gen Civic - Time to say good bye to her.

expanded metal shouldn't make noise. I was going to use some myself. Just make sure the metal part is as thin as you can get. more air less metal and you are good

[Borris The Blade]

Good to see your secret plans are coming together.

Should simplify things a bit.

At first look your list don't look so bad, but as I scroll down I was like damn thats alot to get done.

[elflako17]

Ok I just pm'd you. I was originally going to use those too. Glad I didn't now, cause it'd have been a horribly tight fit. I could've made it work, yes, but it would've looked jammed in there. I like how these came out. WE'll talk man. Gonna be a bit before I'm ready to do anything.

Just about off folks. Gonna run a couple errands and head home and do something! Not sure what, but I'll do something. lol

for sure man and the reason why i am gonna use them is because of the carbon fiber look plus my door the outer grill is the same size as 8 inch speaker

I'm more excited to see this build finished than the new amp I just put in mine today!! Amazing work as always scooter!!

[evermaxx]

Thanks for the great deal on the amps bro. I'll have my build up by March

[scooter99]

Thanks guys. Yeah it's a longer list than I thought. But partially my own fault since I threw the doors in there.

I did go out and put the baffle in though. There's between 90-100 3" screws all around it into the enclosure body. Hopefully that's enough.

So subs are next to go in, but I had to do kid duties tonight cause my wife isn't home from work till later. She had to work ot. So I should have those in tomorrow night, and hopefully they will be wired up and the amps wired up by the weekend. Sooo much to do.

We'll just have to see what happens.

[scooter99]

Well damn it guys. I went to load the subs tonight, and it's a no go. I forgot that these subs have a direct lead, which is great, but it's short cables, and I don't want to splice. So I have to figure out how to desolder these and solder the new SHCA 8ga on to them.

I did manage to get some other stuff done. SO I guess it wasn't a total loss. We'll see if I can get anything done tomorrow. Man this hill is getting steep!!

[goodvibez]

Are the leads too short to do threaded rod/bolts on the box? I'm not sure if you consider that splicing, but I guess the best would just be strait to the amps. I only bring that up because thats the rout I'm taking when wiring my subs up. Good luck!

[scooter99]

No. The spot where I want to put the rods and terminals, is about 8" away from the end.

I'm checking into options now. I'll get it figured out.

[RossGo]

They make copper crimp connectors with integrated heat shrink surrounds. I know this is a splice, but it is a good temp solution, or permanent. Desoldering can be a pain.

And a good connection of 8 gauge is more than enough to handle the power duties.

I understand being particular, but I wouldn't let it hold up the build, especially when it can be so easily replaced later, if ever
