Operation Boom Boom Boom: Complete (with pics and install!)

[rich]

Alrighty folks so here it is finally...the new set-up for my system. still consisting of the same amps:

Rockford P1000-1bd
Rockford P400-4
Rockford 3Sixty.2 Processor
(2) Rockford P3D412 Subs

here's the teasers with my 2 sets of Alpine Type R 6 1/2" components getting installed

http://www.v6performance.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195770

The type Rs are so much cleaner than the Infinity Kappa Perfects! I bought 6x9 adapter plates off crutchfield to get the 6.5" fit with no problems in the rear.

here is the old setup (standard ported box with black suede & black vinyl trimmed and floor trimmed out)

torsion bars still intact and factory navigation in OEM location




amps still the same


now more than a year later

bandpass through the rear deck. had to modify metal rear deck and cut a hole in it

metal gone

resprayed the factory 6x9 speaker grill covers SEM black b/c they were a lil faded

comparison between old box and new box

3/4" plexi for front of box

support for the box and a test fit. on top of having to lose torsion bars i had to use a broom until we figured out something to hold up the trunk

subs wired up and mounted in box

relocated navigation wires to driver side corner of trunk

getting ready to "frost spray" 'Accord' vinyl sticker on the 3/4" plexi

tested and lit up with 2 oznium 12" white cathodes

box in trunk and making trim panel



FIN!:




so for trunk support my coworker just got another piece of 3/4" MDF and wrapped it in black vinyl and recessed a piece of mirror plexi to give it a nice look instead of just a piece of wood lol. yea i couldve spent the money and did some type of linear actuator or motorization but i didnt want to spend any more money and i am happy with the way it is. i don't use my trunk for anything so i barely open it!






trimmed out a port piece. screws are there to hold the panel down because the bass was rattling it with just velcro. screws cant be see but b/c of the flash on my cam you can see in pic


oh yeah here's what everyone was waiting to see. navigation Rom relocated:




and OH YES. IT SLAMS! I haven't gotten it metered yet but its pretty loud. 100x louder than it was before!

Wow, very impressive work there. Looks clean man. Nice job. Sucks you have NO trunk space whatsoever now lol.

[k24low20z]

awsome work rich everything came out nice an neat..good job

[timot_one]

Looks good.  Like Steve mentioned, it must suck having no trunk space at all.  Since you mentioned never using the trunk, I'm sure you don't mind.  What did you use to design the enclosure and what are the specs?

Very clean install and awesome job rich, ill prob put a system on my car next year

[Abailey4]

Love it, hell of a job. The frosted Accord is definitely a nice touch.

[Lemonjelly]

That setup is sexy as hell!! Very classy!

what did you use to "frost" the accord logo onto the plexi?

[rich]

it's just called "Frost" spray. you can get it a home depot for like 5 bucks a can.

Tim i'll get specs tomorrow when i'm at work.

yea no trunk space. no sacrifice no victory lol

[NWINNIE34]

[CrazyCreashunz]

[v6sicksspeed]

[Mike]

I'm sure it's quite loud. Nice work Rich.

[timot_one]

Did you use SW to design the box, or just design it based on the specs of the subs?  Sorry, I'm just real curious about that stuff.

[rich]

SW?
