the box was made by me, and it is a 13.5" cube, painted with spray-on pickup truck bed liner, and held to the car with a green bungee cord, then hooked to one of the latch points in the trunk

everythings wired correctly, and i have it so the amp wont turn on without the car on...(as not to drain the battery while playing the radio while parked)

i used a heavy-duty orande out-door extension cors as a power wire (three 12GA. wires together is FINE ) then i used 22GA wire for the pre-amp signal....the REM. line s connected to pin #4 of the power harness on the back of the radio....(stock HU) i fabricated plug pins that neatly clip on to the rear of the HU to get my pre-amp outputs without using an adapter....

i paid $18 per sub @ brandsmart, about $7 foe wire, and $20 for the amp.....(forgot wood...add $10)

this was quite cheap, and it sounds really good

im happy

I'll bet it bumped the rear bumper right off his ghetto ride.

slowEJ6 · 01-08-2002, 01:54 PM

sweet.......that kind of setup would match my Type-R emblem and indiglo windshield (yes, windshield) nicely.

:P

2000Pimpinex · 01-08-2002, 02:01 PM

Nice setup, I would like to hear and see it. I bet it sounds great.

Accord Man · 01-09-2002, 09:07 AM

What really makes me laugh, si how this guy can say that it sounds good.

Sure it'll sound better than 10$ clock-radio...

2000Pimpinex · 01-18-2002, 01:58 PM

I don't know. Those $10 clock radios really bump, IMO. I don't think it can beat that.

Did he say he put the subs isobaric??? will that work right with a Radioshack amp??

No way.. Its fun changing.. I found a bunch of them the other day..

I dont have any subs or amps in my car right now.. I sold my amp and the subs are sitting around rotting.. I was into the stereo thing for ever tho.. Ive had a million different sets of subs and amps... finally I just got tired of it all..

Plus my cars slow enough as it is.. I didnt need all that weight.. Im about to start stripping stuff I dont need out.. I need more power just dont want to go messing with the motor with the CEL on..

but thats another story..

Accord Man · 01-21-2002, 09:58 AM

I hear ya..

I also could live without the extra weight... But cant live without bass..

when I ride around in my hatch I miss bass too,my other car has my system,but this weekend I swapped my cerwin vega 6x9's out of it and put it in my hatch to get it to sound better,stick just doesn't cut it.now I have to get some 6x9's for the back of the other car since I was to impatient to wait for money for my hatch,oh well,installing them ain't too hard.But can't get any bass till I get more speed fasho!!!!!
