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


Recommended Posts

SO I was able to get a couple things done today. Not much. Check it out.

Time to sand some filler! 40 grit, let's get to it!

Base done, time for walls

Walls done. However, I'm not happy with the back wall. I'm thinking I'm going to go ahead and cut it out. I'll probably put a piece of wood in there, and glass on the wood. That will make a nice solid wall. Or maybe I'll just put the wood on and call it a day. Not sure.

Whoops this was blurry.

Just a peak of what it will look like! NOICE!!

Have a little plan here.

Thinking if i can somehow mount these hinges on the back side of the amp, I may have enough room to lift them up and get to the settings to adjust. We'll see.

What it would look like raised up! More to come!

So the couple things like I said that I'm dealing with are the back wall, and figuring out the hinge thing. So I'll be dealing with those in the next few days. Also need to start climbing up the number chain with the sand paper. Gonna do another sanding with 100, and then probably do some spot filling. Anyone have any ideas on thinning down filler a little bit? Thought about putting resin in it, a little small bit, but not sure how that would go. Maybe I'll just try it and see where I get with it.

Ok more soon!

I guess I'll post more pics, even though it didn't seem like you guys were interested in those.

SO the wife and kids went to her sisters house for today and tonight. I'm supposed to be working on the sunroom, and I will, but I thought I'd take some "Me" time first.

This is the start of the second layer of Part 1. Second front baffle.

Little ear there that needs to be taken off.

Other side same thing

Wasn't real happy with the way that fit in there, and while I didn't get any pics of it, it was about 3/16" short of the bottom of the top piece. Not good enough for me. So I re cut it!

about 1/16 is tolerable. Much better

Other side

Countersunk and screwed from the bottom

Pre drilled and screwed from the side.

Through the top piece

Added the second top piece and screwed in

945286_519182898141192_1400191370_n.jpg

second top piece. Doesn't look like much, but when it's all said and done, it'll make sense.

Bottom piece set in

Wanted to see it in place with amp rack. I like it! Remember this is only part one, so there's another part that goes in behind it. But there's plenty of room to play with.

Higher angle

So that's it for now. I have to get to work on the sunroom now. Maybe tonight I can take some more time for some other stuff. But this may be it for a couple days. We'll see what I can do!

Thanks for checking it out!

I'm lovin' it.

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.
