Oh yeah, that's why I posted this lol. I have a few weeks to really dig in before my sound treatment is done. I promise I am not a dumb guy lol, but I am having a time getting this stuff together. Seems like every choice brings 3 others. I will look at your material today in my free time and...

If anyone has seen my sound treatment thread slowly coming along I am putting the rest of the build together and need some advice. This is my first system and have a lot of knowledge gaps. Going for SQ over SPL. First thing I did was swap to a new head unit. Kenwood DDX9705s. Currently have it...

I was gonna use CCF as a decoupler. http://www.raamaudio.com/ensolite-iuo-peel-and-stick-14-sq-ft-per-running-yard-3-per-pack-of-bxt-ii-recommended-absolutely-the-best-foam-on-the-market/ And then denim batting insulation in the void spaces. My plan for the floor is deadening, then this...

Got it. I thought you meant trunk lid. I will focus heavily on the deck. My trunk barely pops. Can't add too much more weight... The denim might push it. I don't think I can adjust these rods....

Thanks Jeff. I put that one piece on the deck and then realized that I can put the deadening on top where it will be covered by the trim. I will be pullung the entire interior out in the next phase so the deck will be done then. I don't remember seeing the rods in the trunk you were talking...

Back doors and back of seats done today. Anyone know what the black piece is for in the second pic? My guess is just stabilization of the plastic.

Got the driver door, passenger door, trunk lid, rear quarter panels, and trunk done. Pics.

Starting the first phase today. Deadener and basic door treatment. Pics of the deadening at the end of the day. Question for now. My speakers are riveted in. I am confident I can take them out... But what do I replace the rivets with? I can't get my hand back there for a screw and nut... I...

I am about to pull my haur out. No one sells Fiberglass ceiling tiles. Apparently they just magically appear. The inly place I can find them is at Lowes in a 16 pack for 100 bucks. I need 3... Might just have to skip that step for my own health. I have literally been to 6 building material...

I didn't ask a question. It is a build log. "Car Audio Build Logs Post details, pictures and get feedback of your car audio installation, from start to finish. Also get tips and assistance along the way." I am sure I will have questions at some point though.

KHA's accord thread was what got me started. I spoke with him personally and got some more info a few weeks ago.

After a successful first venture into car audio with the install of my Kenwood DDX9705s head unit, my tinkering gland is tingling. Time to do some sound treatment. My door panels rattled like a children's toy even with the stock head unit. Oddly enough, after playing with the EQ and setting it...

The quote for the HU was 200 for labor by itself. I am about to start a build thread for the deadener. Stay tuned!

It really was. I was surprised how plug and play everything was. Next is gonna be sound deadening. I am ordering ~70sqft of deadener today. As much as I want the sub soon, I need to treat this tin can at least a little before I put it in.

I was so excited to play with it I forgot the golden rule: pics or it didn't happen! This was after about and hour of testing features befor I put the rest of the trim on. The mounting bracket face matches the other gloss black pieces very nicely. I was impressed. The odd shaped mounting...
