Civic 3-way active IB install log

Wanted to do something new and try to keep it clean and somewhat functional.

System diagram is as follows:

The car has also received about 200ish ft^2 of sound deadner. Too bad I didn't get any pics when it was gutted.

SEAS G18RNX in doors, what a pain the ***. Had to make a 1.5" baffle to get the huge basket to clear, doors need to be disassembled and glassed with new grills to cover them:

Stock deck with RFX-8250 unit mounted below for security. Cup holder and hides it more or less. Can also see mock up baffle for the kicks. They still need to be glassed in and the aiming tweeked a wee bit although frequency response seems to be pretty good, the sound stage is still a little inconsistant:

Trunk goodies. Zapco amps, power distribution, false floor that still retains access to spare/tire iron/cocaine ect. After tuning is complete the covers will be security torx screwed down except for the spare cover:

Looks nice. Helps the boring wire look up front that's hard to really hide.

please put pics up after you fill the door panels, I have a civic as well and im thinking about making something out of fiberglass to fill in the gaps and make it look nice at the same time (I donno what You are doing with yours but I was going to go with a smooth transition and then paint the whole thing)

I want to fiberglass it and re-wrap it to make it look stock. I had an EG civic that fit SEAS CA18RNX with the stock covers no problem...I was hoping it would be the same on this guy. Ill put pics up as soon as I finish it though.

If you don mind taking some during the molding and attaching it (if that's how it works- never worked with fiberglass so it should be an interesting experience- I know about the gloves lol), I'm not in the rush but I would greatly appreciate pics of the progress, Thanks, Luke.

Pretty sick how the subs look from the front seats looking back. I've been wanting to mount my subs like that but I think i'm gonna do it a little different, even though this way looks better.
