Well after much thought and delay, I'm finally starting my rear audio work. Going to start with Sound deadening and then build a custom trunk for my 12" and 2 amps. The plan is to have a clean look but also be functional which means that the tire will still be in the trunk. But I will post pics as I go along. My audio setup will be:
Headunit- Alpine CDA-9833
Fronts- JL XR component system
Rears- JL VR 6X9's
Amps- JL 500\1 for sub
Alpine 360\4 for fronts and rears
Sub- old style Kicker Solo Baric 12"
(replaced with JL 12" W7 next year)

Stage 1: Sound deadening-
Rears- Before


Rears- After


Back Finished




Trunk- After 1st layer
[





Trunk- After 2nd layer






Trunk- Finished with Deadening






Stage 2: The joy of Fiber glassing

Well this part took longer than i thought. Mainly because I got sidetracked and put in rsx seats, painted my interior panels(still not done with that) and lowered my car. This stage included:
taking out trunk springs(for gas shocks to be put in)
new trunk floor out of mdf
2 amp enclosures
new sub box
Getting trunk ready for carpeting

Trunk:









Sub Box:



Next: Final Stage
Cut out Spaces in amp enclosures for wires to go through
Install Trunk gas shocks
Carpet trunk
Glass rear deck and carpet
Install headunit
Run New wires
wire up everything and that should be it

cool thanks for fixing the problem
yeah what is all that stuff

 
Rep Power: 0

It's just your basic sound deadening material. Got it all at lowe's actually, both can be used either in cars or under flooring. Works real good.

 
Rep Power: 360

how much for the armstrong material?

 
Rep Power: 0

they were both $40 for 100 sq. ft. I got to get a little more armstrong stuff for my doors and then i'll be finished with sound deadening.

 
Rep Power: 360

wow alot cheaper than dynamat

I was peeing ther site and they make alot of sound deading stuff.

 
Rep Power: 311

What were you doing with their site, dude?

 
Rep Power: 312

does is have adhesive on it?

 
Rep Power: 328

Please, please tell me that's not duct tape...

 
Rep Power: 312

i was thinkin my infinity 60.5cs kappas would, but what do u think would sound better? hehe

 
Rep Power: 310

OMG! lol your nuts dude, that **** better not rattle. im going to just go crazy with sprayfoam on the rear deck and then a lil in the deck lid, plus some behind carpet in trunk, then dynamat a few different areas. lets see the finished product soon

LOL, armstrong is HD brand isnt it? theyre specialize in vinyl tiles....LOL....ingenious.

that thing has to be 1/8" thick, huh? pretty thick to work w/ isnt it?

why didnt you pick up some maskin tape? those duct tapes gives off residues/stickie craps.

 
Rep Power: 0

wow that **** will be bullet proof lol you better not hear one rattle from no where.!

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah no rattle anywhere. sounds real good. All the noise I hear is from the doors forward. So I figure once I do the doors and under the dash I should be ready to go. I'm replacing my beige interior with black so I got to take out my dash for that anyway.

No it doesn't. I just used a big can of 3m industrial adhesive spray. Cost $12 a can and it took one can to do a single layer in the back so I ended up getting 4 cans to do everything so far.

 
Rep Power: 0

Yeah it is. I used it to hold down certain areas that needed to he held down for awhile to stick good. Plus I used it to smooth off certain areas for when I glass over it. Everything that I have done so far will be either glassed over or carpeted so nothing you see so far will be visible in the finished product.

I would highly suggest the Microphon Bau Quart Q series sir.

 
Rep Power: 312

think that'll make your car a lot slower with all that weight?

 
Rep Power: 0

thats a good question. I'm sure all that material will slow it down some but right now it's not a noticeable differance. But with all the wood and other materials that are going to go into this install, I wasn't too worried about the weight. Lol, my car is slow enough as it is.

 
Rep Power: 310

that what mb of mb-quart stands for?

 
Rep Power: 311

Oh, yeah. It's German for Microphone Builder.

If you mean the subs and box sure, but no more than anyone elses, if you mean the other stuff, not really. It's 1/2" and 1/4" MDf, and not much of it. Shouldn't make a big differnece

Besides, it's a stock Civic so it barely gets out of it's own way anyway.

looking good

 
Rep Power: 311

Really, how come? I have black interior and I don't like it. It get's way too dirty. My GF has Biege and I love it. I wish I had beige interior.

 
Rep Power: 0

with the color scheme i'm going with, black would look a lot better than what I got now. Plus the black rsx seats I ordered will be in next week. It sucks that everytime someone says they would rather have beige, they live like 400 miles away

lmao i have black but want to pull it and paint it. cause i dont like the feel and look. i'd like shinny glsos or dull black. i dunno :|
