new ’94 civic trunk for CIAA show

We are now enterered in the 'best of install' @ the upcomming CIAA show on July 1st.   We have a full show car to enter forthe rest of the comp, but there is one problem, it has nothing in the trunk.   The rest of the civic is covered with red & silver crushed metallic velvet, this is what we have to work with:

We decided to look at some Alpine type-r equipment, two dual 4ohm 10"s, and two 420's to run them to be exact. We also picked up a pre-fab (we only have a week to finish the rest of the car) that would hold the subs where we want them:

We layed out the amps where we wanted them, kinda tight fit... it's gonna be fun:

I cut a trim to fit in the rear deck/tailgate area:

At this point i cut two plates to hold the precious Apline 420's:

We then decided to mock the audio equip. and take a look at what it would look like.... well we did this every 10 mins..... were kinda inpatient:

Looks pretty sick.... now to stretch the grill fabric, i took it out and used speaker grille cloth and staples:

Then we masked the trunk and put in the stretched trim:

Looking pretty good....... then we got it gooey:

Unforutanately after this point, things didn't come out quite the way we planned:

So we cleaned the trim, cut new plugs, and restretched, this time with Fish Fabric......good stuff....  oh, and this time, well use PVA & Tape on the plugs......;):

Anyway.... that's all for now.... will update before the show.... hope you boys like..... and i hope the competition isn't reading.... they might know what to expect...... under all that pretty fascia, is a boring old pre-fab.....:D

Got an update!!!  

We resined it again... this time it was strong enough to remove:

That's the way to do it!.....

Hope you like everybody.............   We are now gonna resin the back of it.... will take more pics.

30 mins later....

nextstep, finish glassin.... and test fit with equipment

10 minutes after that.....

Pretty quick posts..... you want thorough, i'll give you thorough....... real time baby.

We are going to smooth the surface then paint this area metallic red:

Then we'll lay down an Alpine logo over top. We are then going to Fish Flock the entire thing in silver (same finish as the silver velvet in the car). Then remove the alpine logo to reveal the metallic red Alpine in the center.

Should look pretty nice, given the time constraints.

oh... and the pre-fab is secured in thecar, the facsia is bolted to the pre-fab via the subs, and the frame it sits in is fitted to the tail hatch.

BTW, did some edge cleaning:

Dremel wasn't working fast enough.... got out some big tools.

Then a quick test fit with the equipment:

Will post more.... today!

finished presanding.   Test fit equipment. check it...youlike?

Will update when we start filler.

damn that looks nice, i look foward to seeing the finished product

It's costing cost of materials..... it's a shop demo.

Started Filling:

Looks sh*tty in the pic..... looks smooth and clean in real life

Filled the edges and sanded :

then we primered the middle/bottom to see how smooth it will be for paint:

will post again when painted

high build 'canadian tire-special' primer

ya...iknow..... here you go:

will take pics in about an hour when it's installed....   It's nice and fuzzy..... i love this stuff

feels very nice and soft..... btw, we WON!!!!!

That's why we went.... btw...anybody own a 93-96 civic looking for a custom trunk.... made for alpine stuff (or whatever else will fit in the amp locations?..... new show, new system.

just takin offers... btw, the prefab has to be the perfect size to line up with the holes.

Alpine guy is probly hella proud

Defective, just letting you know i used a picture that you took of your enclosure in another post to get a point across. If you want to see the post goto

https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=34924&PN=1

just used the picture because i liked the way you designed your sound system, and figured it would be easier to have a "removable enclosure / system" with the design you have. but i did use ur name twice. hope it's ok.

cool cool man.... noprob.
