nice box.

I hope the Civic will handle that !peepwall.gif

What amp will you use ? And where will you mount the amps? There's no room left in the trunk !

there is a ton of room under the box where the spare goes for the amp.

We are in the process of getting a bigger amp now, still unsure of what will ultimatly end up in there.

Heres and update... Ran the 3000d for a week and a half and never once smelled coils got a bit warm but did amazingly well. I love the output and they are really on beat take a tons of abuse. Played 10hrz to 120 sweep and they did not bottom out lol.

Next I want to try another design if possible with the box. I feel I am losing alot firing the ports up.. There has to be a way to make it work!! I also have a couple sealed boxes at the house thanks to a friend of our Corey..! might throw the icons in them for the hell of it!

I agree. Sub up and port up was not loud enough for me in my hatchback car.

I feel like I have more output with the xcon firing back, and I have a sealed box now!!!

But there are some unwanted rattles now!

Hey everyone time to update... Some new things are going on with my build some audio related some not. I was close to selling it when I bought another 4 door for a daily.

This week it is getting a rear disc brake conversion, I just had the bushings pressed in and it will also include a sway bar and lower control arms from a integera GSR!! woot as well as my new suspension I have laying around for months now. Skunk 2 ajustables with tockiko blus shocks.

I also have all new ball joints, and inner and outer tie rods that will be done later. I have also swapped the motor with a d16y8 and a new si trans with alot of new parts and bolt ons as well as changed my exhaust, and did the big 3.

Now audio

Still have my Icons!!

I have AA mids in the doors and kicker tweets. A second pair will be added later laying around with everything else I have lol.

I have a Audiopipe 3kd currently running at 1800rms killing the hell out of my front window!! maybe a vid for you guys!

New deck as well pioneer forgot what model.

Everything is going to come out and get rewired as well as add a 4 Channel!!

and finish deading.
