BlackAck's audio overhaul part 1 (56K go away)
Finally got my audio half installed. For those who don't know about my situation, I had removed my trunk and subs in September to dynamat the trunklid, rear deck, and trunk. Here's a little walk through of the work that I put in, it was a long day, and it was a long time comin, had a lot of problems gettin my rear deck speakers to fit, they are 40 oz magnets and the mounting depth is 3.5" which is way too big for our wonderful back deck, because they sit on the trunk springs and only go in about half way. Needless to say I bought 3 different pairs of spacers that would not work trying to be lazy, finally ended up making custom spacers out of MDF. Here are some pics of my progress. Got my Audiobahn 3 way 6x9's finally installed. Got my new Class X 1200 Watt amp for my 2 12's with remote gain knob, and put my bass back in after bein out for at least 4 months. Here's what I've been workin on lately
Stripped trunk ready for dynamat:
My trunk, where it sat from september till now:
Trunklid ready for dynamat, you can see the premium blose 6x9's:
Dynamatted trunk lid (didn't take pics of the rear deck or trunk) You can't see any dynamat with the carpets reinstalled, AND no more rattles Done back in September along with the rest of the trunk.
New speakers next to the bose, check out the size of the magnets and height difference
The final project after trying 3 other spacer options, 4 hours with a jigsaw and dremel.
Painted flat black so they wouldn't stand out (this is the 1st coat)
Tight fit, fit perfect after many dremel adjustments
Finished product Sounds SO clear love the 3 way, you can hear all the high and midrange in the trunk now. Sounds real clean
Legacy 3 Farrad cap
My 12's, with my new Competition 1200W class X amp, and the new 3 ways in view, and I finally have a trunk again.
New Amp glowin red with power
160 Amp circuit breaker, the amp requires at least 140 Amp circuit breaker
Broke the mounting hole on the one side of the circuit breaker, so I reversed it till I can get a new one and mount it correctly.
Sorry for the amount of pics, I took like 3 times as many, but wanted to show people that it is possible to mount big ass speakers, just takes a lot of custom work. Feel free to flame or give opinions, all in all the system sounds clean as hell, and I'm VERY happy with it. Took a long time coming, but the trunk is all dynamatted, and there's no more rattles, sounds really clean. Next install is my 6.5" audiobahn front components(with spacers) and matched tweeters, and 4 channel 600 Watt highs amp. Didn't do it today because I need to get a new distribuition block, and didn't feel like taking the door panels apart and all that fun stuff. I'll hopefully get on with that in the next week or 2, will be installing new mirrors and a number of other things in the coming weeks, as well as a number of other projects, just wanted to share this with y'all, cuz I put a hell of a lot of work into it, and i'm only half done, but i'm glad to have my subs back in, my dynamat installed and my trunk back together

Looks good!
Not only does that look to be a quality job, but you went the extra mile to keep the white trash appeal away. Bonus points for the dynamat! I just wish all the kiddos with the Civics and Stratuses would invest in that.

Looks dope. I cant wait till i can start on my system for real. It just sucks that you werent able to use the stock speaker grills on the back lid. Thats the only thing (visually) that i dont like. But im sure it sounds awesome.

Just a note, the amp is only mounted on the box temporarily, until I put my amp rack in with my 600 watt highs amp, then they will both be mounted there.

EEK! Audiobahn?!?! U read too many super street magazines and such!
Some nice Bostons or Polks would have dropped right in your rear deck and allowed the stock grilles to fit just fine and sounded much better.
