April 14, 201114 yr for sure, still want to hear my sealed box on music.. Who knows when the sundown comps. are going to be out though. Probably will just go with the JBL i posted, with the 2 ohm load.
April 15, 201114 yr Liking the 91 rex! Miss my 91 HF that I had to sell due to a vicious sub frame crack... only was good for parts after that.
April 15, 201114 yr Author Liking the 91 rex! Miss my 91 HF that I had to sell due to a vicious sub frame crack... only was good for parts after that.Ouch. These cars are great, don't plan to get rid of mine anytime son! Got my muffler installed last night after work, wit a little rain. Got a little dirty today before i took some pics. but you get the idea. The two bolts that attach it to the exhaust piping were a bitch to get on. Have to compress that spring before you can get the bolt started. The position i was it made this really annoying, but an hour later and i was done. Really happy with it.One more project down.
April 15, 201114 yr Looks really good!! Is that a multi led flashlight you were using? Those are pretty bright!
April 16, 201114 yr Author Yeah it is, got it for free with my harbor freight order from my crimping tool. Threw it in my glove box for times when i dont have a big one laying around. It's just as good as the large ones without the bulk!
April 16, 201114 yr Author Got a check from back pay today, should be getting some components quick now. Need some 2x4s and some threaded rod to start on the false floor base/support. Silicone two spots where i think are causing the leak i still have. I talked to the kid about my 15 again last night, he just got 2 huge checks from work, so he is ready to start putting his system together, told me he wanted a multi-sub setup. Talked him into starting smaller and then building up because you always want more later down the line. And it's going to save a bit of money if he buys my sub compared to something new and a new box. Think he is coming over today to get into it more. Hope i can get this thing gone, trying to make space before Elizabeth moves in for the summer, let alone the funds would be nice!
April 16, 201114 yr Got Money.Getting materials.Fixed leak.Selling sub=more $Sounds like things are rolling along.Who's Elizabeth??
April 17, 201114 yr Nice muffler man. I actually have to do mine sometime soon as well. The A-hole previous owner did a hack job of a muffler onto the Civic. But I am gonna do the rear disc conversion first before I do any muffler work.

April 17, 201114 yr I'm really happy with it so far. Can't wait to get it back on and have my car sound normal again. Went over to a friend's house today and revved it a bit when pulling up and he said, "Hey, that sounds pretty good, did you put a fart cannon on it?" I just started laughing and showed what was missing. Mufffa'la looks good bro! I can't stand the buzzz bomb's, they give us Honda guy's a bad rap. I spy a gourgeous 65' Ford!!

Thanks for the compliment on the muffler!
April 18, 201114 yr Author Y'all are ridiculous. HAHAON TOPIC - ordered some NGK spark plug wires last night. Get them in a couple days. Now I've got all of NGK's products on my car that i can. Wish we knew when the sundown components were coming out...
April 18, 201114 yr i feel stupid. i didn't know sundown was doing components. i knew they were doing the 8 and 10 inch mids but not a full component set. if so, that would be interesting

I Ordered my comps. today Next week i'll have a couple packages show up weeeee JBL's?? yes I think i got a deal on them. Sonicelectronix lists them at 250. Their ebay site has them at 140. I offered them 124.99 and got them. Shipped. I'm happy, makes me wonder how much lower i could have gone. and why there is such a price difference. Hope i didn't just screw myself, but i couldn't find anything different between any sites, just different prices. We will see thursday.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290559008068
April 26, 201114 yr Great!!! I'm sure you will be happy to get some tunes playing again. You gonna setup that sealed enclosure to go with them? What size sub was that made for? I think with the 2ohm components you should get plenty of power with the 100.4 without bridging. Waiting for pics and a reveiw, then someone else can make a bid $20 cheaper. LOL!!
April 26, 201114 yr Author Yeah, ill run them 2 ohms, unbridged. Put the sealed 12 in there, it's wired to 2 ohms as well. Sound sound good. Need to go get some 2x4s to start building the base/frame for the false floor. Rain and easter prevented me from getting that done last weekend like i wanted. It's ok, i"m patient. Maybe ill place another bid for another pair sometime and lowball then work my way up.
