Two weeks ago I had a buddy come by to drop off a couple subs to be rebuilt. I did a batch of custom 8’s and he saw the 4 I had left I built for my own car. He was checking them out and wanted them but told him they are for my car. He starts going on about how I should go for an spl setup to show what really can be done and just sell him the 8’s. Well, the slick mofo got me 😂. I sold the 8’s to him which he is putting in one of his cars and now I’m stuck doing a wall build in one of my cars. Here is the list of what I’ll be doing:
Car: 2013 civic si
HU: not sure yet but probably something that is double din in the 250-$300 range.
Electrical: 300 amp alt with AGM’s. 2/0 charging cables and will run 2/0 ofc to the back.
Speakers: crossfire XT-pro6’s, will do custom door panels to run two per side. Will do the Xs-st1 tweeters but not sure if I’ll do one or two per side. I glassed up the doors and got them solid to do the baffles but have to lay that part out which I’ll do on Monday. Gotta do the passive Xovers on abs with acrylic covers that will mount to the doors.
Amps: cab-m4 and cab-45 or taramps smart 5k and DS800x4. Still going back and forth between these choices but I’ll decide soon.
Subs: These I will build geared towards spl. I’ve done these in 12’s recently and they are insane in ported setups. I’m going to build 2 15’s for this car. It will be a triple stacked Y35 motor, 8 layer aluminum flat wire precision econo wind coil with aramid sheet collars made to my specs with the high temp black coating. These will have a solid 33mm of xmax and will easily take 2500w rms each. Ill do dual stitched tall roll surrounds with pressed Kraft Kevlar strand cones with glassed backs. 12 spoke frames with motor to frame spacers and nomex spiders. I got some high gloss dragon plate carbon fiber coming so I can machine cone covers for them so they will be flat. This carbon fiber looks absolutely incredible! Best stuff I have ever seen! 8 ga direct leads and will most likely machine some spider retaining rings.
For the box I really wanted to pay someone to do it but it’s looking like I gotta go old school and do it myself lol. The back seats are gone and it will be a wall build. Subs will be in 4 cubes each and tuned at 32 hz with 150 ish sq in of port.
The goal is to finish this build no later than June which I’m sure it will be done much sooner! I’ve already started on the door panels. The wood backing is all done, they have been glassed where needed to make it all solid, and body filler was used to get the exact shape needed. This doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth as it will be covered in black felt. No need to get this to a paint ready finish lol. Will make the baffles and lay them out and once I got them where I want them, the real fun begins 😈 stay tuned!
