Unfortunately I don't have a camera yet. Only thing I really need to do is get something to cover the wires with since the ones going to my amp are not hidden too good. I plan on upgrading my subs and go to a dual 12" box once I get my tax returns back.

I will also buy a digital camera then as well so expect pictures soon.

I need ideas on a spacer for my door speakers. The stock speakers have a plastic frame and are held in by three tabs which means the mounting hole for the speakers is not large enough for regular speakers to sit flush with the door. I've thought about taking it to a car audio shop, but would do it myself if there is a simple solution that doesn't require me to fabricate anything as I haven't the tools or experience to do so.

EDIT: I am also going to buy two Mag v4 subs and a dual 12" 2 cu ft (1 cu ft sealed chamber per sub) sealed box to put them in.

No bashing please.

It seems like your looking for it

As I stated once I get my tax returns back I will get a digital camera and then post pictures.

Since my capacitor must be charged up slowly and I have a ciecuit breaker for the fuse block that can be disconnected by pressing a buttion I thought about wiring a 12 volt lamp across the circuit breaker. That way when I have to disconnect my battery I can press the buttion and the breaker will open so that once the battery is reconnected the cap will charge slowly and once the light is out I can close the breaker.

Looks like I will have around $600-$700 left from my tax returns to spend on new subs and a digital camera. Pics will be posted sometime next month.

I am thinking of getting this alternator http://powerbastards.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Fitzall%2D220 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif along with an Optima yellow top battery. Is that a good alternator to get //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif? Later on I may move the Optima yellow top battery to the rear and get an Optima red top battery for the main battery //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryexcited.gif.c26a15f316d23068607f36ddacd7a7ab.gif Is this all a good idea or not. If I do go the second battery route I will have it installed for me to be sure it is done right.

Why did Honda name their SUV after a woman's reproductive organ?? The system looks good too!

lmao CRV EX = cervix

 

[jmcinvale 10+ year member]

Thanks about the system. I plan on eventually getting two of these amps http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=2&series_id=6&family_id=19&item_id=111371&locale=en_US&p_status= to power the subs once I can afford them and the upgrades to the electrical system that will be required since these amps draw 100A at 1 ohm full power.

I got one of my tax checks yesterdasy and it went in the bank this morning. Soon as it posts to my account I will get the subs and box.
