New Trunk Set-up *PICS* - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Jamie** · 07-22-2007, 05:39 PM

So last week, I had a day off and decided to build myself a new box and everything in my civic. I started at around 1:30 in the afternoon and finished everything, including wiring everything by 10:30pm. After everything was finished I was unable to get my subs to work

I ended up buying a new fuse holder and fuse and new input wiring from rob

good guy for sure. When I took the deck out, My remote wire didn't have much contact, I rewired it with the new wire that I got, and everything worked perfect

Here are some progress pics and end result.

Enjoy..

I started off by gutting the entire trunk, the old carpet was pretty dirty.

Old carpet.

This is what my old box looked like. I needed a change.

When I took my carpet out, I noticed a nice little hole in the trunk, so exhaust fumes were getting in.

So I fiberglassed that up. (Added a little to much cream hardener

)

Started by cutting the bottom peice for that box. Bolted it right to the body of the car

Put the other peices up, and fiberglassed the entire box, anywhere air would get out.

Top is on.

Subs just chillin.

I mounted some mdf brackets to the side, you will see why.

This was the hardest part. Fit perfect tho

Same to the other side. Screwed everything in, and sealed all the cracks.

Carpet almost in.

Finished product. Have a couple things to fix with the carpet.

looks clean thats for sure. i personally would have kept the amp/cap on the same side so you could use part of the trunk more.. but looks good

**meancx** · 07-22-2007, 05:46 PM

im impressed with u're level of workmanship

not a big fan of stereo's in cars as they will just weigh it down, but i am a fan of things that look clean

**Opel_Driver** · 07-22-2007, 06:02 PM

finished product looks very nice

**04CamrySE** · 07-22-2007, 06:38 PM

wow, great work!

**civictech** · 07-23-2007, 12:18 AM

looks great- does it sound different?

**Jamie** · 07-23-2007, 01:15 AM

^^ yes for sure, the cubic feet are very close to what the subs call for. It's alot bigger box.

**04CamrySE** · 07-23-2007, 02:35 AM

why not divide the box up into 2 chambers?

**NikiterZts** · 07-23-2007, 12:20 PM

Jamie u've got some skillz

....i only have nunchucks skillz

**unL33T** · 07-24-2007, 10:31 AM

Looks nice but I like functionality. You've pretty much eliminated any usefulness of your trunk other than making bass...

**Jamie** · 07-24-2007, 06:37 PM

^^ im use to it....my old setup was pretty close, this way gives me a bit more room...I might build or buy covers for the subs, cap, and amp, so that way i can just throw stuff on top.

**Jamie** · 07-24-2007, 06:37 PM

^^ and thats what backseats are for.

**NikiterZts** · 07-25-2007, 10:48 AM

no spare tire?

**Jamie** · 07-25-2007, 04:23 PM

^^ nope....whats the point? if I got a flate, my spare tire wouldn't even fit properly, the car is sitting pretty low, and if i did put the spare on, the body kit will be touching the ground. So I will just call for a flat bed if I ever need one.

**SweetLikeChutny** · 08-06-2007, 04:43 AM

i like it

**Herpee** · 08-17-2007, 04:48 AM

Ya im gonna admit, thats some mad skills right there. I didn't think you had that in you lol. The fiberglassing you gotta tell me what you used / how on msn sometime. I have a similar idea but diff at the same time for my ride.

not bad, but I'm the type of guy who wouldn't do a dedicated trunk like that, I like extra space and having somewhere to puts parts and other crap.....
