I'll post more photos as I get done. I used about $1200.00 worth of dynamat in it: 3 bulk kits (36 sq. feet each), 4 boxes of extremeliner (2 pieces of diff. density foam with lead in between. 4 sq. feet each)

The seams you see in the pic have a piece of acrylic that will glow red.

Equipment :

2 JL 500/1 Amps
1 JL 450/4 Amp
1 13W7 Subwoofer (Inverted)
1 Eclipse 8533 AV Head Unit
1 Diamond Audio 6.5 Hex Components
1 Diamond Audio 5.25 Coax (rear fill)
3 Exide Batteries
1 AMD Athlon 64 Computer w/ Autotap
2 10.4" XGA Monitors in trunk lid
1 Magnacharger pollished Radix kit
I see you have two amps for one sub. Hope you got a real good voltmeter its always a pain to get both amps dialed in with out the two voicecoils moving independently. The civic looks real nice. Nice to see you did split chambers for each sub. I had a buddy who did a mustang with two subs and two amps but in one chamber and no matter how many times he dialed in the amps. The guys who car it was was blowing subs left and right.

I hope my $1300.00 scope will work. Only downfall is the gains will need adjusted in the summer and winter. (temp changes impedence)

I think you should sneak that LS6 outta from under the hood and swap it with the 5.3L from your truck. They'll just think all the extra stereo stuff has weighed them down.

Thanks for the good comments Dont think I haven't thought about changing the motor out. Let's just say the whole project (other than the blower) is going to cost about as much as a honda civic. 13.5k so far. I also uploaded more photos.
