1991 Honda CRX Si

Nice work with the buss bars. Sweet lookin' header, but be aware of the heat it will put out by the cooling fan or fans. (had issues with that on my son's car) Can't wait to see how it looks with some free-flowing exhaust! Should really brighten up the engine compartment!

Little clean up and some photos later and this is what i have right now..

Little image editing.. ill leave this to the pros.

Giving the battery a little charge.

[emh9009 199]

What should the battery be sitting at for float charge? if i was to check the voltage after the battery sitting for the night, what range should i be looking at. Info that it came with said not to install if it was under 12.7, should i just keep it above that?

[jcarter1885 995]

If I remember XS batts float around 13.1-13.2 volts, I know they float higher then most battery brands (which aaverage around 12.7-12.9volts).

[Ohjay 116]

Not sure if it helps as I don't own a XS battery yet, but here is a shot I just snapped of my Shuriken bt100 under the hood of my Bronco, it has not been started in a week

For shits n giggles here's the new Group 34 Duralast gold from Autozone I ran for about a month and just took out a week ago

[emh9009 199]

Thanks, guys. Had it charging while i took the extra MDF from my box and made a little sealed box to house one of these 12s.

[sefugi 166]

Very Clean!! Great Work!! Did you notice a performance boost with the header?

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Looks Nice Bro!

Cool idea on those terminals.

Sefugi:

I believe my oxygen sensor is damaged/was damaged during the install. So my check engine light is on. I can notice a sound difference, but with that O2 acting up my engine is being a little weird. Hope to order a new sensor tonight. NGK FTW!

Sir Lancelot:

Thank you, kindly.

Well that sucks, it doesn't take much for the ceramic inside the O2's to get damaged. I'm sure you'll get it straightened out.

Didn't know they were so delicate. Ill take precautions with handling the new one! Thanks for the heads up

Wanted to use up my extra MDF so i made a little box for one of my 12"s, might get an aero port for it later, maybe 40 hz just to see what it sounds like. Not used to sealed, or such a high tuning, so this will be a little test box. I need to take the big box out. It broke all the supports i've got it on. Def. need to beef that up. I have plans with some 2X4s... I wanted to wrap the false floor anyways so this will be good.

Sold my AA carbon fiber mids today. Couple days ill get some comps. Im leaning towards JBL 6.5s with the "plus one" cone area design. Anyone have comments on these, or suggestions on a set they have liked? I want to keep it around $100 for the set. Open to a lot really, just need a solid set to get loud and clean.

Got some glue and carpet today. Tomorrow i'll cut the speaker hole, run the wire and wrap it. First time for wrapping. Should be fun! Spring break lets me be really productive!

AA mids all packaged up. Going to Diablo.

[emh9009 199]

Just looked up the specs on the X subs, looks like my box is about 1/2 of what the required volume needed. It's at .85 ft^3, and they say minimum about 1.6... Doesn't look like porting it will be an option.

With so many choices out there and seeing so many speakers being used here on the forum it make it hard to choose!

Sure you have already checked out some how to's but I liked this idea on clean seams:

Roger that!

[Mtopper 23]

carpeting isn't super hard. But i agree, they do make it all look super easy. I wonder how many boxes those two have made before showing us the video.

Spam

Aww my build is so cool i attract spam?

Got the box done today. I moved my hand too much, overshot the glue and got some on the outside of the box. FML.

No point in putting it in my car though, i have no other speakers to listen to music with... just a bunch of subs in my room. Proof? check the pics.

Taking it all out of the CRX..

OEM

Dont have the little divider installed, so it's a hole in the back of my car.

And the state of my room. 4 12"s, 1 10", 1 15", sealed 12 box, sealed 10 box, box for 15, box for 4 12s... and shipping boxes for all the subs/batteries/parts taken out of my car.

[sefugi 166]

I thought you sold your 15?

[emh9009 199]

Scratched my 100.4 today. about an inch. I don't want to talk about it.

[emh9009 199]

Well you know my luck? second time this has happened. The kid's car broke down... People really need to start driving more dependable cars. He just put the motor in so i guess it's normal?

Sounds like if you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any. Keep your head up it's all good!

[emh9009 199]

Thanks! I actually had an amazing day, takes more than a prolonged sale and scratch to get me down!
