I plan to get a system for my fit. I also plan to get the OEM cargo cover.
Will the cargo cover fly off or break because of too much bass from the sub?

 

It depends on what you plan on putting back there. Mine definitely rattles/vibrates but its well worth it because it covers the sub and amp when parked.

 

ya i really i want to cover the amp and sub when i am parked
but im just afraid it will fly off or break or something when im listening to my system...my system is going to be banging....
using the same sub i had in my old car..and i got 141. db out of it...from a 200 watt amps..now im using a 450 watt amp..so im sure it be even louder...

 

Well I have no idea what your old sub is but im running a 10" sub in a ported box with roughly 750 watts RMS to it. So i think you should be fine

 

Well since I was curious if you hade made a post about your previous/future set up, I did a search.

So I see its a DD 1012. I am running a 10" AudioQue (DD sister company) SDC2.5, which is roughly equivalent to a DD 2510. So you should be fine, well minus the rattles from everything else in the car

 

nah i dont think it would break... well i guess it can but before that happens your ears might be bleeding first..

 

nah I think you would run out of current to draw from the battery before the alternator could recharge it before either of the above would happen. damn small alts

 

wow u are good..check my old post to see if i posted what my set up was before!!! give u props sir!
so do u have a cargo cover and nothing happens to it beside rattles?
is there a way to stop the rattle?
i never used or seen a cargo cover in person before so i dnt even know how they look like or work

by any chance, did you upgrade the battery or do the big 3?
i plan to upgrade my battery. i want a new alternator also, but that is costly...

 

Thanks! Yeah my cargo cover just rattles, its hard to explain where. If you want pictures I can take some tomorrow. I would imagine that putting some thing foam in where it mounts would help some. The material itself flexes at different frequencies but has never came off.

I did not upgrade my battery as of yet but I plan to do so in the future. I upgraded the battery negative to chassis ground and the engine to chassis ground. I would of done the alternator to battery but I couldnt magange to reach where the wire connected to the alternator easily. I have read that our ecu's (at least GDs) restrict the amount of current supplied by the alt so even if the upgrade alt is rated at X amount you only get a certain amount.

Also the rear view vibrates like no other. I have numerous rubber grommets to help minimize this but I think that now my mirror is broken internally somehow.

 

haha thanks for the info!
how big is your ported box?
do you mind taking pictures of your set up?
where did you mount the amps?
i do not want to mount it to the back seat, i kind of want to show it off but at the sametime stil have easy access to my spare tire.
i am going to talk to my installer monday to plan things out with him, than wait a month to save up some money and get it all in!
i cant wait!

 

my box is about 1.4 cubes and its tuned to 38hz. Ill take pics in the morning.
I mounted my amp to a piece of mdf at the moment because I didnt want to put it on the back of my seat and my setup will change in the future.
I have access to my spare tire I just have to fold down the rear seats, slide my box on top of them and then remove the spare.
Im satisfied with it but it will be redone eventually when I dont need as much cargo room.

 

Ok well here are some pics (dont mind the weird lighting/flash, cell phone pics):

Cover extended


Cover retracted


Showing the mounts


Rear mount, originally a cap there


Front mount


Thin rubber on back mount to try to minimize vibration/moving (comes like this)


Close up of the sub


Side view


/end pic whoreage

hope that helps in some way

 

nice
thanks for the picture
i didnt get to go talk to my installer today after all
i got lz and woke up late now doing some homework
so you mounted your amp to a piece of board, does the board slide around?

 

it may under hard turning but the weight of the mdf/amp keeps it from moving a lot. It the future it will find a more secure home.

 

Hey one more question,
with the cargo cover. is it stil easy to fold the seats down?
or do you need to detach the cargo cover before you fold the seat dwn?
thanks

 

The cover does not affect the seats ability to fold in any way.

 

thx for the info
been a big help about the cargo cover for me
although i have tint already, and it is really hard to see through the window. i will still get a cargo cover

talked to my installed today
forgot to ask him about my battery!!!
doh!!!!!

everything will be done feb 28!
i cant wait!
