Well I changed up a few things in the system and figured I would put together a build log for it. So lets start with the pics shall we!

Let's start with some of the equipment.

I decided to do another layer of fatmat in the trunk. I had a layer of the dynamat extreme in there so I put some fatmat over that as well.

Looking really good. Honda/acura doors are the worst about allowing water in them. That is one thing that i hate about them. I did an 07 accord last week that had water dripping inside the doors, and it hadn't even rained in a couple of days.

 
Here's a couple pics of the engine as well. Have a CAI, XS Power Headers, Unorthodox Crank Pulley, Optima, and a couple other upgrades!

Now for the best part! The BJ Customs Box! This thing is beautiful guys. I've never seen a box look so PERFECT to be honest! Tons of props to BJ for making me this box and handling everything in an extremely timely fashion! Has to be one of the best people to work with on this forum. Keeps you updated, sends you pics, etc.! If you saw the other work thread here is a link to him buildling my box....http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316302

Reminds me of my '01 Accord. Looking great. Never thought of doing a foam like enclosure for the front speakers. Notice a difference? i'd also recommended doing an open cell foam between the door panel and the door itself, makes a difference and reduces rattle. What year is your CL-S?

2002 CL-S. I saw your build log and saw that you got into an accident. Whats going on with that, that really ***** bro! I haven't powered them up yet to see how they sound. I cut a small crack in the back of them to let some air flow through. I'll most definetly do that for the doors though!

No problem. The Dayton ultimax is one of the better sounding sealed subs I’ve heard. I kinda want to try the 18 in my ride.
