If so I guess I can be quite flattered....considering if you go back to my very first posts on this fourm...and even some of the ones when the12volt was still on YAhoo groups!!!!! I was retarted! somtimes I have to look back upon them to remember everyone starts somewhere

I was just expressing the point that you cannot skimp on sound deadner when you spend your good hard earned money on equipment. Those prices reflect nothing compared to what I actually paid for all that equipment.

If I were to list the prices I paid for each one of those pieces of equipment, I think some members like stevedart, and forbidden, and some others would have a heart attack!!!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Well steve, you should be real proud of me....im getting back to the basics with the civic very very soon. and not really the basics at all. SQ all the way

Here is the list of equipment that we have 90% of ready to go in. heck lets shoot out some average pricing on the stuff to just to explain why I am using so much deadner

(2) Kicker XS 100's $800-$1000

(2) Kicker ZR 600's $500-$800

(1) Kicker ZR 240 $200-$250

(1) Kicker ZR 120 $150-$200
(4) Kicker amp links $100-$175

(4) Kicker CVX 12's $800-$1000

(Set) Kicker SS 8 Mid $200-$300

(Set) Kicker SS 6.5 $400-$500

(Set) Kicker SS 5.6 $250-$300

Alpine DVA-9860 $400-$500

Alpine PHA-710 $300-$400

Alpine 7.2in touch $400-$500

Alpine 1Din center $150-$250

Irragi Alt 300amp $400-$500

(3) Kinetik 2400's $800-$1000

So exculding wiring and all the other odds and ends that are not included in just the equipment that comes to a total of $5850-$7675....Spending 10% of that to make sure I get 100% of all the quality from all the speakers and amps...priceless

Now I just need a large shoe-horn to fit all that in there

Just wondering where you got your Kicker amp and if it is new or used? I'm using some of the same stuff in my truck; those sink links (I bought 2 on Ebay at the time) ran me about $150 a piece, just because they were in high demand at the time. I think they retail for $40. And the ones I got weren't new, either. Disguising Trunk Sound Deadener - Page 3 - Last Post -- posted image. But I'm happy with the results.

SOme of our amps were new some were used, the 120 was used...all of our sink links were new in the box still. I happened to find a shop that had them in the back rrom for the last 5 years and were more then willing to part with them

All of our amps have been sent directly to kicker to be fully tested and rebuilt, even if they dont need it yet. All the Amp cases have been stripped and sandblasted and are in the process of being polished to a very nice shine!

Alot of time and money are going into these amps but that what it takes to build a show car thats a winner!

If you're just trying to take an existing shape from your trunk, you can apply car wax, and start laying fiberglass. Put down 2-3 layers minimum before you remove it so it won't warp and not fit properly.

If you're trying to create your own shape, make your framework out of mdf, then stretch it with carpet, etc. and apply resin/fiberglass.

Do some searching around in the fiberglass forum and you'll come up with links/ideas.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
