Posted January 22, 201015 yr This is my build log for my 1999 Honda Accord. I will be changing out most the equipment I put in a year ago. The system installed now sounds good , But not at the decibel levels I want. So this time around I will be spending alot more on higher end eqipment to do it "better" this time so I am happy when done. So these are my goals:Basically better sounding at high volumesHigher efficiency speakers and subwooferBlock outside noises and inside rattlesTrue low end freq repoduction (type-r doesn't hit the very bottom end)better mid-bass (maybe a 3-way)Better sounding mid-ranges and tweeters I must still have a SPARE TIRE Must still have some useable space left in trunkHeres the car
January 22, 201015 yr Author I have the 4 channel version of that amp, i really love it.I have the MRP-F600 for my fronts and it does good, this way the amps will match nicely.
January 22, 201015 yr Author Look what the Brown Santa (ups) just dropped on my door step!!!The D3400 is going under the hood, and the D1200 in the trunk.
January 22, 201015 yr Author This was tuesdays Brown Santa delivery. 40 sq ft to get startedenough to do the trunk before I built the box in it permantly.
January 22, 201015 yr Author good looking equipment...i remember when my BTL arrivedSeeing a fresh BTL in the box will never get old.
January 22, 201015 yr Author excellent choice of batteryThanks. I have a Optima redtop now and it already hates me. So I called Nathan at XS Power(great guy) and he told me what I should buy for my needs. These batterys are not cheap so I didn't want to waste money on more than I needed. These batterys should have a little extra in them for if I add third amp for mid-bass speakers. (or 8" subs upfront)
January 22, 201015 yr Author what's the plan for the box?The million dollar question. The box will be 5 cf. net. vol. tuned to 32hzThe box will be 6.31 cf. grossThe port will be 4.5" x 14" x 24" long (63" port area) 1.03 dis. Sub and bracing .31 cf. dis. Double baffleI call the box design "the bottle neck". the front 7" deep of box is 15.5"tall x 32"wide and the back halve of box is 13" deep x 20" tall x 41 wide. This will use the trunk space most efficiently. The box will be built in. I will be using canned expanding foam to "seal the trunk". The Front of the box will look the same as the one I have now. The trunk side will look close to the same but will come back a couple more inches. Should keep the back wall of the box under the rear deck. I hope the back bottom corner of the box still lets me get the spare tire out ??? We will see. Edited January 22, 201015 yr by j-roadtatts
January 22, 201015 yr Author The radio stations Where I live suck, So my wife got me Sirius Module and The KCA-SC100 Interface for the CDA-9886 Head unit for X-mas. I already have The PXA-H100 Digital sound prossesor witch hooks to the head unit thru the AI-Net cable and has the RCA outputs for the amps. The KCA-SC100 also uses the AI-Net cable so they pig -tail in a row. I bought A 15 foot AI-Net cable So I can mount all tree units in the trunk.
