Posted July 5, 201213 yr I'm in the process of completely changing the crx's build so I decided to start a new build log. The old one can be found here:http://www.soundsolu...1-honda-crx-si/The last thing I did in the build was add the new second amp rack with the LEDs under both amps (which I have yet to get a decent photo of, Sefugi). From there I was just so used to everything and was starting to compete in some comps and with a local in town. First thing that needed to be done was a new front stage, again. Pre ordered the Sundown Audio Neo Pro 6.5" mids with some infinity tweets. Found a great deal on an Alpine 9887 and grabbed that up quick.Before:After:Before:After: Edited July 5, 201213 yr by watts09
July 5, 201213 yr Author After that I changed all the speaker wire out, added a negative run from from battery to rear, added another 2 powerware batteries in the back for a total of 3 in the back and one similar sized XS in front.Welding cable 1/0 for negative and Knu OFC for +
July 5, 201213 yr Author Was never happy with the "pods" that I made a year or so ago. Finally decided to make some real ones real quick just to see how hard it is to do. It's really not, just takes some time.Mats from local auto shop. Along with this stuff I just used some cut up speaker grill cloth as my "glass". Stretched nicely and was held a lot of resin.Starting a base layerMaking the skeletonHow it looking in the car (making sure it fit and was aimed correctly)
July 5, 201213 yr Author Because I was in a rush and didn't really care about the final product I didn't take much time to make these look nice. I just wanted to test the waters of working with resin really. I only put about 2 layers on everything, but I'm fairly happy with them. If I took another day or so on them I think they would have been even better. Don't like the wavey edges, but those are on the bottom so you can't see them while sitting in the car anyways.
July 5, 201213 yr Author The tweeters that I got. Already blew one up from playing with xover points too low. Lessoned learned.Replaced the wire in the sub box as well. I wanted longer runs to be able to zip tie them to the bracing to prevent it all from dangling around in there. Got some home theater cable I found. Axiom. It's really nice, kinda' spendy, but then again it's OFC so I'm happy with it.I was one of the first people to order Gcons. Took a little over a month to get them, but the wait was well worth it!Fiday X 12s hanging out waiting for the Gcons to arrive
July 5, 201213 yr Author After getting this all installed I lost a channel on the 100.4 so I'm only able to run 1 tweet with the other one broken anyways. Started having some real alt belt slip issues. The 3 ribbed belt wasn't cutting it at all. Did some research and found out that some new civics had 4 ribs on their belts. Found a D16y8 crankshaft pulley for sale and ordered that.As soon as that was put on my problems have gone out the window. I've had to tighten the alt once since then, but it was well worth the money to upgrade. Along with all of this i now have about 1/4" to 1/2" of play on my adjustment bracket, which I didn't have before somehow. Win-win.
July 5, 201213 yr Author Next up is a little facelift for the CRX. Ordered some rims and have the tires on order as well. Should have everything in within a week! After that my bottleneck right now is my power supply. I'm on the market to replace my 1500 with a sundown 3k without breaking the bank. If you have one, or know of one for sale send me a PM. Possibility of building a new box, but that's not much of a concern right now. I'll update with some pictures when I get the wheels on!
July 5, 201213 yr Hell yeah bro!Nice start! I love all the progress you have made so far, keep it up.
July 5, 201213 yr Awesome dude, love everything I'm seeing. So even with a "bottleneck" in power and a blown channel on the 100.4, how are the GCON's performing?
