200amp externally regulated alternator on order should be in my hot little hands in about 3 weeks. I will share the info when it gets here the price was very nice!

 

hey Fit4spl,

I have been going reading your audio build and mad props to you. Honda interiors are notorious for rattling. My 2000 Accord rattles like a bitch with 2 12s in a bandpass box.

Now that I got a Fit I want to do my system right. I'm planning on going with 1 12 inch in a ported box pushing maybe 500-1000 RMS. I don't ever intend to go on a dBdrag, but I really hated how my accord rattled inside and the trunk sounded like it was farting outside. I was hoping you can give me some recommendation as far as sound deadening.

Affordable and good. I don't feel like spending all my money on dynamat. I want to do the whole floor, the doors panels, and cargo hatch. Is there anything reliable I can do about the rearview mirror too before it shakes itself too loose?

Thanks!

 

Secondskin, great product easy to use and won't break the bank either. As for the mirror, it's a lost hope I just accept it's going to move up and down a lot and deal with it.

 

So I have been busy, changed product a little (subs and sub amp), also spec'd out a new box and got it 90% done will finish it up on Friday. New subs are Skar Audio ZVX 12's dual 1ohm, and new amp is a Skar Audio SK2500.1.

 

how much bass can you fit!! lol awesome

 

Moar progress and pics!

 

And bracing is in place, 1&1/4" pine dowels.

 

And I got it done, so here are the finished pictures.

 

Short video.

 

WOW, that this still has serious flex after all your work to dampen it... I'm sure your proud

Man, makes me a little sad I am planning to sell off my custom spare tire well box BUT it removes 70+ pounds of weight and the $$$ buy's more racing parts so I cant complain

 

Yeah to each their own, I'm into audio not speed so the extra weight doesn't bother me.

 

I tried to keep the best of both worlds... but as I'm getting more competitive racing, and spending less time crusing in the car, I decided I could let the sound gear go.... for now... The GF's GE might inherit the fun sound stuff

 

I'm thoroughly impressed at this whole thread. You're ability to build boxes is impressive! And your knowledge of the stereo world has taught me tons. THANK YOU.

 

Thank you, I have been doing it as a hobby for many years and I have worked in almost every aspect of the car audio industry, and I just like to pass on info and what not that I can.

 

Man...I'm so in awe of your skills. Wish I lived closer--I'd have you take one of your "old" boxes and throw it in my wrx. LOL.

Way to go man! AWESOME work!!!

 

I have a show coming up next weekend I will hopefully have some numbers with this new box to report back

 

Well here it is the Skar Audio SK4500.1, video is uploading and I will post it in a few.

 

Video is done!

 

Yup, even on Christmas Eve I am working on my ride, well it didn't help the items I installed didn't arrive till today!



And here they are, dual voltmeters the one on the left is my front battery voltage, the one on the right is the voltage on batteries in the back.

 

Hey, just curious how that 200amp alternator worked out for you. Also pretty curious where i could get one. Let us know!
