Well, late night install time. Just managed to fit the remote, looks decent Soon I'll relocate the audison in the trunk and there's some fabrication required...
-
Well, it's all installed, using the high level inputs there is no noise, the only thing I've noticed is a digital beeping noise caused by the DRC(as I've read) - when using AUX inputs AND the source(phone) is connected to the charger... so it's probably a ground loop somewhere. Probably easily fixable. Sound wise it's not an improvement. That would be an understatement. I've rediscovered my speakers and amps. Still have to tune a bit, but everything is already so much better.

Well, this is awkward. Updates with upgrades. Traded in my P88 and 150$ for: The guy who sold it to me said it had noise issues, I've tested it on a lab power supply, updated the firmware and ... there's no unwanted noise whatsoever. Still, fingers crossed for when I install it.

Well hello. I've already posted some of my build log before this newbie thing. Been following the forums for some time now, I thought it was time for me to share... Here's my stuff, I'm more of an SQ guy: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/59241-06-euro-civicfk2-simple-sq-build/

Final results... Sound is good enough... but could be lots better with just the equipment I have. Still have to bring the midbass drivers out(the stock locations are far behind the door panel). And the tweeters placement is quite awkward, one is on-axis and one is off-axis, so I have to figure that out too... Looks are decent, a bit annoyed with the mis-matched amps, but I can live with that. The sub is actually a Phase Linear Aliante(build under license by mac). Pure SQ sub. Doesn't really move that much air(but it eats up 400W like they're nothing), it's mainly a 10" midbass driver. But it's really smooth, fast and it blends in perfectly with the front stage.

Noise from speakers?
Accuwave replied to Patrick Danesky's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
You must protect each part of a cable, the fuse on the amp is for protecting the amp itself. With your setup it is possible to start an electrical fire: cable touches amp near wood, not enough current for the 250A fuse to blow, but enough to melt the small cable and generate a lot of heat. Not fun. -
1. But I might have gotten something wrong... If not for 2. Cool installs is an overstatement. I did what could be done. More pics: The tweeters fit perfectly in the stock locations: And the pretty guy just sits there, and does his job: And a better view of everything in the trunk(still not perfect):

In one of your photos I've noticed that you have 8AWG positive wires with no fuse. Yes, there is a 250A fuse on the main 0AWG lead, but if one of the smaller cables short on an amp case or something, the big fuse will not blow! I'd really recommend a distro block with 60-80A fuses when reducing the cables' cross-section. -
Shouldn't have an aliante in it? )

I had the logo cut out of ABS plastic on a CNC and just carpeted over it....

Well, I've made some bassbox stimulations and with the volume I have there are some possibilities... with a ridiculously long port. Still haven't tried yet.I'm satisfied for the moment. I'll cross that bridge when I get there...
