Had the car since tuesday, and have a couple days off, so figured it's way overdue for a system

Plenty o' pics -

Before, after I removed the spare and rear washer reservoir -





After airsaw and hammer -



Pre-glass, test fitting amp and building frame for box -





Action shot, was really wishing I had a respirator about this point -





After 2, 3 or 4 layers of glass -





That's it for today. Ran out of time, and was rather high.

Should have more up tomorrow

 

I spy Dynamat Xtreme, but only a tiny patch - What's the story on that?

 

Previous owner did it. Not sure wtf was going on there, or why he put it on the OUTSIDE of INTERIOR panels in the trunk.

*sighs*

 

Ah Christ, any luck removing it? May be easier to just replace affected interior panels, but Goo Gone Xtreme has proven quite faithful for removing over-done aftermarket sound deadening. (Why even bother on plastic panels... >_&gt

Anyway, I'm watching this thread. I'd like to see this enclosure after it's somewhat done.

E: oops, no removal attempt yet I see, didn't notice it on the plastic in the pics until mentioned.

 

Yeah. Haven't tried yet.

The pics don't even show the worst of it. I'll probably end up just buying new (used) panels.

 

Well, at least you seem to be blessed with plastic trunk panels. Some days I think I'd prefer that to the flimsy carpet in my type of car. Do you have a hatchback of some sort? I'm not familiar with this style 'trunk', haven't seen many Honda trunks with garnish temporarily moved.

E: Also, two-man thread.

 

You need a haircut..

Project looks good though.

It's not a civic, it's an eclipse, but figured this forum could use a bit of life

Nah. The home depot since I was getting wood there anyways.

 

So. Here's what we got done today -

Glassed the outside box edges and did another couple layers on the inside. Box is solid.





Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the final box assembly, but it was pretty straight forward. Pre drilled all my holes and silicone sealed the edges. Bought some 1/4" foam to go between the box and the floor so it wouldn't rattle. Spray adhesive worked wonders with this stuff.



Test fitting -







Oh, painted the interfooler today too



Sub amp mounted, don't mind that the amp is "upside down" as there will be another amp mounted on top. Unfortunately the sub amp rca's weren't long enough







What it will look like once it's all done.



Going to make a false floor with an integrated grill and use security screws to help deter thieves.

Probably won't have much progress til next weekend though.

 

Is that a current TDX sub? I had a TDX sub and diamond audio components in 2002. That car was stolen in 2003.

 

Current yah.

Blew the sub this morning though

 

Eak. Think it was an airspace issue, or underpowering, etc.?
