For those custom installers out there, do you have any photos of installs done on the above vehicle? Just looking for some ideas.

Thanks

Thanks but I visit this site regularly and just can't find anything. I'm actually looking for amp and sub installs in the trunk.

I just found one that I missed.

Thanks again!

Did a custom install on my brothers 89' prelude, but I have no pics. Sorry, all I can say is don't fire the subs forward against the seat. Sounds bad and isn't loud. I found firing them back or sideways was the way to go.

Those old Prelude's are notorious for being a pain to get good bass in.
My bud had one back in highschool and he went with two MTX ThunderPro 12's in the trunk and a big Adcom amp and processor mounted on the back of the rear seat area.
MTX 6.5 and 5 1/4's in custom door pods.
I have pictures and I'll try to dig them up later.

I had no problems getting great bass output with a MTX 500 12" in a sealed box with >100watts, fired to the side in the trunk placed up against the back seat.

I just built a smaller sub box for my Alpine SWR-1041Ds and the bass is much tighter and not as boomy.

Do you think it is worth putting Be-quiet under the rear deck? I'm just wondering if that will help improve the bass further.

I don't think it'll help to "improve" the bass, but you'll probably notice less rattles and be able to hear the bass clearly.

Sound deadening for the win!
