Install Progress (pics on website)
So after a few days of work now, I have made some progress to my install. The plan is to fire my woofers into the cabin in a low tuned small ported box. Behind the box is going to be a false wall across the trunk, with all the components sitting on a removable false floor so I can get the spare tire out. It has to go from start to finish in less than 2 weeks as there is a big car show that this system is being built to be shown at. In that time I have to install 0 gauge wire into my system (done), put all my wire on removable plugs (done), install LCD monitors in the sunvisors (done) and build the box and false floor for my trunk (in progress).

There hasn't been much work done on the wood side of things, but the pics of some of my progress are up, they are at http://www.2k4civic.com/install.html. I try to update the site often so check back for more updates if I don't post them here.

One of the big things I still haven't decided 100% on is the trunk layout... so here is what I am considering and let me know what you think...

Mmmm, I like the aesthetics of those PG amps. They have a military-tank feel to them. Very nice. That's gonna be sweet.

Okay after a couple more days work I am getting very close to being finished... I have 2 more pics of my progress today, and after I took these I did a bunch more work, so now all that is left is to wire the amp board and carpet everything, then its all DONE DONE DONE!!

So here is the false floor just as we finished it:



and the false wall during a test fit



Tomorrow or the next day it will be finished, so stay tuned

Let me know if that sounds better than having the SUBS&AMPS (enclosured) in the Floor itself. B/cuz I hate not having my Spare

hahahahahaha I thought about just doing the rear speakers thing, but I have those big forklift plugs so i figure hey why not solder 8ga into 1/0 ga terminal and rig it up so at least I get SOME sound

btw yes spare tire does come out, that was one of the requirements of the install

Is the false floor and wall for show purposes or is it to actually deceive thieves?

Depends on what you wanna do with the carpet. Apholstery shops, fabric places sometimes. Even some flooring places can get unbacked carpeting. www.Selectproducts.com or www.crutchfield.com is a good source too. Lately, I've had good luck with the stuff from crutchfiled.
