Thanks for all the info bro. I finally found a place where I can record without disturbing anyone.

Here is a shot of the enclosure, used the spare tire well for amps, fuses, .2 processor, and such...

That is clean.

Thanks man......

That vid looked great. Do you like it so far? Any complaints? or other ideas? Does it play how you want ?

what else do ya have planned?

My thoughts,.. i would tint the windows, if i was you.

Also, the factory DENSO alt is a very good stock unit. I would get a volt meter, a SMD VM obviously. On D'Amores facebook page, he has the pics of them getting the first 100 put together. So they will be for sale soon.

Id snag one of those, mount it somewhere cool, (these are just my opinions man, take em or leave em) and i think it would help you keep an eye on your electrical.

Again, the DENSO hairpin stock alt is pretty healthy. So, you could use your funds else where, if you hold fine....

Anyway, looking really good man. And nice work on a car that is really not to fun to work on... lol..

well done sir...

Put your eyes on this when you have some time, and add if you can...Later bro.

I like the setup right now, If I did want to change anything it would be to upgrade to 15s if possible (space wised). Also I would like to get rid of the old stock radio and fiberglass a tablet in but you probaby know thats easier said than done. Would you happen to have info on how to do this as I heard the radio is wired on the same control board as the AC/header controls...?

Funny thing is I had made a appointment to tint it today. But though I should wait til I put sound deadener in so I wouldnt scratch the new tint when taking apart the rear deck panels etc.

Your right about the alternator, that thing is a beast for being stock.

Ill have to look into the SMD VM thing, I do need a meter thats for sure.

Yeah, this car is a bitch do a audio install comepare to most stock vehicles

Also just got this 1 hr ago from the UPS guy. Hoping to atlease do the whole trunk and top rear deck...

Kylar: i had to delete your images as they were confusing......it looked for a minute like it was HIS stuff. Its on his SOTM build thread so i don't want anyone to be confused. Post him a link to where he can see your pics instead of hijacking this thread. I know you didn't mean to though so its all good. Thanks!

[meade916]

system looks real nice bro and great choice on the equipment! Love that port...a little bigger then i would try for those subs but if its working for you, that is great! how does it sound? I know it looks awesome!

good luck on SOTM this month too!

[ChillMasterWill]

very, very nice work dude, mad props and it's clean as well....

Couple things:

First where in Norcal are you? That video looked like it was in the undeveloped area of Natomas. But maybe not.

Second, and maybe I'm mistaken, but by cutting out that pass through with only a hole like that, isn't that making it essentially a 6th order? Especially with the box sitting that far back. I cut mine out too though, but I cut the whole arm rest area out, not just a little of it. I have an 06 Civic, not the TSX but they're close to the same vehicle, basically anyway.

Nice job, everything looks real clean. Also, if you wanted to get the other amp in there, you could always baffle it up at the top and let it hang upside down. Then both amps would be in that same compartment. Just a suggestion.

Boss,

Not even a problem. In fact, I was just going to do the same thing. I totally understand. Not a worry ....I will even remove more...

Also, I'll look at the prints I have and mail them to you.

I will say, removing the stock HU will be a pain. Trust me. It runs 2/3's the car. It's also a big reason I stopped where I did. But, if your willing, it would e pretty trick man.

I'll let ya know tonight. Best of luck in SOTM. This month is freaking sick, with the prizes and such.

Talk soon.
