[QUOTE="OldFartAudio, post: 8712995, member: 680592"] This is my old install from 1999. I was going through some things at home and found my install album so I scanned the pictures and put them up. As far as resonance I lucked out. This was the first generation Civics had 2 doors and they were pretty heavy. The dampening and the fact that they were pretty solid to begin with made it good. The trunk lid with the crossovers and EQ, plus the MDF and deadening weighed at least 35 lbs and had to be propped up at shows. Because it was so heavy I only got rattle from the license plate. I all but eliminated that with a license plate kit. The rear deck had the speakers removed but the factory grills were still in place and it had a thick piece of foam dampening sandwiched between the trim panel and the metal of the rear deck. It ended up being like a tank. I could crank it and with all the windows up you could only hear a very slight rattle from the plate and other than that it sounded almost stock from the outside. When I opened my windows or sunroof it would carry and you could tell I had something. I only competed for that season. I got 3 first places and 3 second places in the Novice 151 - 300 watt class. I took 6th at SBN which was my first show and I took 10th at world finals. [/QUOTE]
