My simple, clean install- 2003 Accord with pics!

[bchandler 10+ year member]

This is my first attempt at an install that wasn't screwing amps into backseats with messy wiring all over the place. I just wanted a clean, simple install that would allow me to use some of my trunk. It's also my first attempt at carpeting. I'm already unhappy with it though, and am planning out a whole new install once I get some money.

Please forgive the crappy cell phone pics! I have a build album on a disposable camera I just have to take to get developed. If anyone seems interested I'll go get it done.

1) Removed old setup (no pics sorry! It was a huge spray painted ported box that took up the whole trunk which i sealed off from the cabin by using foam blocks... very messy looking). I also made a new floor at ths point from wood so that I could secure things to it with screws. The stock floor was thick cardboard/fiberboard. I incorporated hinges into the design so that I could still access my spare when finished.

2) A picture of my big three with 0 gauge/ANL fuses.

3) My pioneer premier 880prs:

4) A photo of the trunk setup. In the new install, the sub box will be where the amp rack is and the new amps will be under a false floor.

5) A closeup of the amp rack.

Sorry for the crappy pics again! What do you think?

Thanks! There's a gap in the top of the kit holding the HU in because I lost a few clips in the old install. I have to order some new ones from Honda.

Crystal Mobilesound CSC50s. I am upgrading to some Rainbows or Focals soon though. Here's a pic of the tweeter mounted:

Not the best location, I know. I'll be building door pods most likely for the new install.
