2014 Accord Sport SQ Build keep_hope_alive

Prior to doing the Hertz HL70 mids, I experimented with some LaVoce mids (same basket, different cones). This pod also featured 3D printed grills that screw on. These mids were ok, but they had a noticeable amount of coloration when compared to the Hertz.

Been a few years. This car is still going strong. However, it has a new driver! My 16 yr old daughter is now using this as her daily at 220,000 miles. Still runs, rides, and sounds great. I swapped the speakers for some stuff I had laying around (Type R woofers, LaVoce mids, Hertz HT25 tweets) but the rest is the same. In spring, I'll start a new build on my new ride:

Welcome Back.!! Very Nice New Ride!! Im always intrigued and learning from your builds .This one should be another great one to follow as well. Looking forward to it
 
My man! Good to see you back man, can't wait to see the new system/build, hit me up if you are interested in the stuff I've kept stashed away.

P. S. I blame you for how complicated my jetta became.

Thanks, guys. The new ride will be getting disassembled soon, now that it's warmer (yes, I drove it all winter).

I'll do my typical build log for the Camaro. Lots of measurements and data, with an initial budget upgrade with measurements and data to show how it behaves with a modest effort before putting what I like in.

My daughter managed to give the Accord a facelift - so it comes back from the shop in a few weeks with a new front end! Can't kill it, it still rocks. But she will be helping install different amps/speakers since the Hertz/JL will transfer to the Camaro.
 
So, where are we at in August of 2023? I gutted all equipment. The wiring remains, but is being re-worked.

Once all of the hardware was removed, I showed my daughter how we made panels back in the day.

I also showed her how to design a speaker pod and we’ll give these a shot.

Did you consider using the PAC AmpPRO 4, AP4-CH31? It will connect between factory amp and head unit and allow you to have RCA outputs for the amps.
