Hi i own a 95 acura integra RS and i have a ViS CF Trunk.. i was wondering if it would be safe to be thumping a sub.. nothing so strong just a lil something so i dont just hear all tweets... i dunno if the Trunk will crack or anything.. but wondering if its safe to thump a sub /w a CF trunk also anyone know where they sell the trunk supports so i dont have to hold up my trunk, the two trunk bars that hold up the trunk...

VHOA

carbon fiber is stronger than the metal your trunk is made out of so if you old trunk can take it this one probably can too

LordAphotic

i think your glass would pop off before your cf hood broke... unless its a bad quality one....

its a ViS, good condition one.. so ur saying the METAL OEM trunk is weaker then a CF ONE?? so i can THump as loud as i want and it wont crack or hurt the CF trunk?

Nors

why would you get a CF trunk (for weight reduction I guess?) and then have a heavy sub back there?


CF is stronger and lighter then the OEM trunk, I still don't see a point in having it though, atleast in your case.

DR Honda97

are you putting it on for the look? because if you are doing it for the weight its kinda dumb to have subs

weight reduction correct also my rear is gutted out no rear seats + carpet + spare tire.. i DD it. so i dont go to track 24/7 lol but wouldnt it be fun to go racing all day everyday as a living..lol .. so i take OUT sub when i go to track... still please help answer question about can i THump /w a SUB in a CF trunk and not crack it & wear it down / be safe.

and if CF was stronger then OEM metal.. why cant i juss slamm my hood but intsead have to go down slowly and close it slowly.. same /w the trunk..

mrdeadman

when you slam the hood, it dents and deforms the metal because cars like ours have thin hoods.

What kind of setup will you be running? 1 or 2 subs? 1 10" or 12" sub couldn't be a problem, unless it's some kind of super comp two thousand watt awesomeness.

VHOA

i dont get people that buy carbon fiber for weight reduction when its a apperance mod... if you want weight reduction get fiber glass its lighter stronger and doesnt make your honda look ghetto

i think cf trunks are sexy especially if u match it with a cf hood and cf itr wing. it aint ghetto, thats pure sex

and you will save 2-3 pounds, nothing monumental...

and cf is soooo much stronger than fiberglass... fiber images runs one over at there factory, no break, show me a fiberglass that gets run over and survives???

expletive the haters

i knew that **** was strong, but i didnt think it could take a 3/4 ton truck running over it

S2KILLA

like i said, lemme see fiberglass do that, hahaha expletive that

J.nguyen

still no good solid answer...

nocturnal EG

it will be fine. the sub only pushes air and does not have enough power to dent or break cf..and your trunk is not 100% airtight, so if you "thump" it, some of the air will escape into the cabin through the rear seats or the nooks and crannies of your car.

so again, yes..you will be fine thumping your sub(s) with the carbon fiber trunk.
hope that helps

Wow I can't believe it ran that thing over and didnt do anything and then had a Uhaul auto transport with a car on it and it still did nothing. The auto transport from Uhaul weighs a grip i work there. with a car on it thats insane.

Glad i can help bro.
