[Youhearthat? 10+ year member]

Here it is, this is my first diy install, this couldn't been possible without the precious info on many forums like this on.... sooo I thank you!

It might seem like a crappy install so please tell me exactly what you think and what would you do to make it better, even what I am missing in the install to get a much better sound out of my car...

This is a 2004 Honda Accord.

Setup:

Stock HU

Navone 4 Channel LOC

Audio Control EQL

JL e6450 Six Channel Amp

Focal Polyglass components Front

Focal polyglass components Rear (except I dont use the tweeter in the rear)

10" Diamond Audio Sub (Sealed)

THE CAR

STOCK HU

SPEAKER & TWEETER

AMP & EQL

AMP

SUB

REAR SPEAKERS

The eql is not mine, is from a friend of mine and I want to buy it from him its brand new, should I buy it or buy another eq? wich one would you guys recommend?

Also... should I leave the rear speakers like that or should I do a little basket for them... ? How?

THanx!

Nice car, nice gear, nice install. Great work man. Its says first system... thought you were some spoiled 16 yr old punk til I saw you were 27 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. I'd personally find a different way to secure the sub though... sure if ya made a thread, you'd get some good ideas.

Yeah man nice clean install. I like the vinyl job on the amp rack and sub box. Bimma said it though, I would deffinitly try and figure out another way to secure the sub, the straps don't do the rest of your work justice. Is the amp rack bolted to the car?

In the Future i would look into getting a New Head Unit

Hey guys I am not 27, I am 21.

The amp rack is secured to the car but the sub isn't any ideas on how to secure the sub?

I recommend the vinyl I got it from a carpeting store, its not just vinyl its Textured Matte Vinyl wich IMO looks like quality and a ton better than carpet...

looks nice, focal is great stuff.

I use the 6h1 in my studio speakers for a little more midbass

looks good.

looks good the only thing i would change is the baffle the back speaker is sitting in. make a oval to match the shape, so the back wave dose not interfear with the front.

the stock oval shaped cut out in the rear deck, you need to make a mdf baffle to match that shape, with a cut out for your speaker. you need to seal off the front of the speaker from the back

 

[Youhearthat? 10+ year member]

Any Ideas on the best way to seal the speaker... I know this has to be done to get better response from the speaker... but how and what size of a basket do I need...

 

[azbass 5,000+ posts]

no need for a basket, just a new mdf baffle to compleatly cover that oval cut out.

 

[azbass 5,000+ posts]

oh and you can pack some dynamat around the area to seal it better.
