Update...

I took advantage of leaving early from work

Making RCAS (Gepco D72401EZGF cable and Streetwires ends)





Dynamat and McMaster brand 1/2" closed cell foam with foil backing



I couldn't afford buying more Cascade VB-3, so I settled for Second Skin Luxury Liner. Quality isn't as good as the Cascade, but I guess i'll do. The foam appears to be the type that will rot with moisture



I finally finished up installing the wires. Note that the wires are temporary ran up to the end of the center console for for easy access when I install the radio















All back together. Finally i can drive with a full interior and evaluate if the sound treatment worked I left the pictures of the fully installed interior off since you guys already know what it looks like




Now the real fun part! Custom stuff I might be able to get to it on Sunday

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Mugen - Im still in rookie class. This class is the most competitive in my area. It kinda sucks when you're in a class (such as amateur, pro, ultimate) where there's only a few people.

Im going to compete in:
SQi rookie - SQ and install
SQc - SQ vs. everyone (all classes combined)

The last time i competed with the Lexus, i won 1st in rookie. That was with a basic 2 way + sub setup, this time however, im doing a 3way + sub....which makes it a billion times harder to tune.

I wish I have two or so weeks time off so i can really concentrate on the install. The damn heat doesn't help either.

I began the sub enclosure today. Its nice working from home. I got to reconcile our account while waiting for fiberglass to dry

This is the basic idea of what I want to do:





I finished almost an entire roll of 3M painters tape











I ended up with about 4 - 5 layers of fiberglass before running out of resin.

I hope I can do about another 5 layers of fiberglass tomorrow in addition to beginning the baffle and bracing <wishful thinking>

With all that material down, did you have any troubles reinstalling the interior? And did you keep the stock batting/sound deadening material attached to the carpets?

It's looking great, I'm jealous. I did the doors on my Fit a couple months ago, but even with the material to do more already on hand, I haven't had a chance to pull up any carpet to go farther.


Oh, and where do you recommend for buying fiberglass resin & mat? It's been years and years since I've done any, but want to put an enclosure into the spare tire.

No, all of the interior pieces went back in properly, I had to remove the felt that was attached on the factory carpet though.

As for FG/resin, to keep costs down I bought them from home depot, their products works well for me.

Subscribed! It's ironic I found this post today. I just got done talking to my friend Marv about doing another system when I get my Fit.
I'd wanted to go sub-less in my RX-8 because of the extra weight and reduced trunk space, and it wouldn't be so bad because the doors have room for 9" speakers. Not so in a Fit! But now that I see the enclosure you're working on my worries have been erased! I also can't wait to see the rest of your installation! Fiberglassing might have to be the next thing I teach myself. It opens up so many possibilities.

Is that an IDQ12v3? How many cubic feet are you looking to make that enclosure? I'm really interested to see how it turns out. Looking very good!

Marv? Is he on the DIYMA forums? He sounds familiar.

I managed to finish the mold today. In total I went through 3 bags of fiberglass already.
Im probably going to do some bracing tomorrow and hopefully make the sub ring.

Just say NO.
I can hear the side bias already.

You will be better off trying to get .75-80 cu ft net for that sub.
