Pretty excited for the build

[ElCapitan464]

wow nick, im excited to see what u have planned, if u need an extra hand send me a pm, more than welcome to help u out

[cyanidecologne]

Sounds good buddy i think my whole trunk is going charcoal suede with some fiberglass fun. If you decide youre over that sub and amp you bought and want to take my system off my hands let me know you know ill give you an absolutely killer deal.

[Quattro]

awesome so far, yes it is a pain to remove the back seats, you get used to it :P

[cyanidecologne]

awesome so far, yes it is a pain to remove the back seats, you get used to it :P

Do you normally remove the middle bracket bolts first or the end brackets? I think i might have gone backwards and went with the middle bracket first.

[Quattro]

hmmmm, the bottom is easy, i started at the bottom and went upwards. The bolts for some odd reason was not that bad to remove. My buddy did most of the work :P

man, you make me want to get a custom box done! i wonder what you will be making.

[Doctor]

Oh man, you reminded me of myself when I tried for hours removing the rear seats, and even with the ELSA help it was a pain in the ass....

Good luck with the built.

[greddy15]

if its just a sub and amp, i dont think u have to go through all that trouble....at least i didnt

[cyanidecologne]

Yeah soooo not fun haha

[cyanidecologne]

If i was just slapping in a sub and an amp in a prefabricated box i wouldnt have gone through all the trouble. i have quite a bit more planned.

[Quattro SFC]

Is that amp the MRV-F407? If it is, DAAAAMMNNN!!!!! Thats old school! I still have that and the MRV-1507...bought them back in 99 and theyve sleepin in my closet for 5 years now. BEST ALPINE AMPS EVER![evilsmile]

[cyanidecologne]

Haha yeah its my buddies im just using it temporarily cause i blew my four channel. Im going with 2 JL 12w6s, 2 JL 500/1v2s and a 300/1v2 for the new setup. I want to do 13w6s but i think that might be pushing it for size.

[cyanidecologne]

Just moved my car for the first time since tearing everything out last night and holy shit is it loud without my trunk trim and seats haha.

[CONTROL TWO]

o hai der exhaust drone

[Quattro SFC]

That would be an awesome setup! I had those 2 amps with a 12w7, JL 6.5 components in the front and 6.5 coax's in the rear..alpine deck, monster cable, and 2 monster caps. The only thing I do regret not getting is the dynamat. That shit is soo crucial, especially in an integra.

Have you already dynamatted the trunk while all that stuff was out?

Good luck on the project though..Do you plan on doing the whole system?

Dynamat is my next step. Ive already got crossfire SQ 6.0 components in my front and rear doors which i absolutely love. the things scream, and a pioneer avic d-3 so yeah its going to be a full system. I just wanted to have my trunk back, otherwise my old system was absolutely amazing so crisp and clear and the setup hit soooo hard. I do believe i will miss it.

[Quattro]

I can't fab anything too pretty, my jl sub is too space demanding (13" w7).

Make something for me too :P

[cyanidecologne]

Well for a w7 i definitely couldn't do what i plan on doing to mine for you because im using w6s strictly for their small sealed box specs. But we could do a fiberglass box just in your trunk thats easy enough w7s need a lot of airspace.

[Quattro]

yup, I just have a sealed box for it, I never liked the ported box, didnt feel it hit as hard.

I wouldn't mind fabbing some stuff up, my buddy never got around to make something. I have some trunk space right now lol

-randy

[4RingRook]

Looks like you're plannin a 10 inch sub in a wedge box. [:D]

[cyanidecologne]

Looks like you're plannin a 10 inch sub in a wedge box. [:D]

Haha damn you spoiled my surprise im actually just doing an 8" sub though i just need to replace my windshield with lexan since its going to hit so hard.

[GrandMarkie]

There's no need to remove the back part of the seat, only the bottom. You can fish the wires right under without a problem. I guess it's a little late now [:D]

Back part is removed for fiberglassing purposes.

[killerb7]

this is intense.
keep us posted.

[Scott91011]

Looking forward to learning a thing or two from your build[up].
That old system you had was awsome[hail], from your FS thread it didn't look like it would eat up all your trunk space, right?

No i still probably had about 14" of depth so it wasnt too bad. My plan for this new system WAS to be able to fold down my backseat and pass surfboards/snowboards through so i wouldnt always have to put my roof rack on. However i think there is some suede in my near future so this may no longer be an option. And if youre stoked on the old system take it off my hands.

[FreshtoJEFF]

Looks good man. I just installed my system a week ago and wow tell me about the rear seats and finding a good place ground. Gl with it and post when your all done!

[JasonR]

Nice work - keep it up! You're making me miss my '93 Legend Coupe that had three 10's in aperiodics (damping on the front of the cones, firing through the rear seat). Still the best bass I've ever had, but I just can't bring myself to give up the folding rear seats to do it again in an Audi.

[cyanidecologne]

So phase 2 is complete purchased all of my new hardware today decided against JL audio since its far too overpriced even at dealer cost just for the name and aesthetics. Went with an even better setup all image dynamics 2 id12 12" subs optimal for small enclosures and extreme sound, 2 sets of CTX65CS 6.5" components, 1 Image Q 450.4 4-Channel 450 Watt Amplifier, and 1 Image Q 700.2 2-Channel 700 Watt Amplifier. Updates will follow next weekend.

[mattman]

I can't wait to see the end results!

[JasonR]

Can't go wrong with ID - Eric was always super helpful back in the day. Good luck with the build!

[cyanidecologne]

Yeah ID is awesome my buddy hooked me up hes friends with the owner

[swoardrider]

ID = [up]
I'm running an IDQ 10" with a stealth box in my A4. Super clean sub.

[cyanidecologne]

Single pic teaser

[Spiff69]

oh, come on now, you have to tell us more - is that all fiber glass? How did you build the mold?

[cyanidecologne]

It is fiberglass on the front the back side of the enclosure is all mdf contoured around my wheel wells. There are 2 of these one for each side which will each house a image dynamics 12" sub then i do have a little secret for the amp rack on the floor which will not be shown til full completion. It is all being built by my buddies at RAW Real Auto Works in La Habra, Ca. I was originally going to tackle the build myself however once i pulled out the factory upholstery in the trunk i realized i was out of my league for the carpentry skills needed.

[cyanidecologne]

The only thing im debating about now is whether to paint it all dolphin gray to match my exterior or wrap it in suede or a combination of both. Your guys input is more than welcome.

[Spiff69]

I say suede - It should look different from the exterior.

I would really love to see a few more pics of that box - alternate angles, backside, etc. I'm thinking of building one soon.

[cyanidecologne]

Yeah ill get some more angles when i go back to work on it with them on friday and saturday. And some pics better than my cell phone can take.

[cyanidecologne]

Alright time for my last teaser/ update before i get it all finished on friday

1. Can you say sound deadening??

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/cyanidecologne/DSC_0522.jpg

3. all door speakers are now up and running and let me tell you these things are insane. the clarity they produce is out of this world and set on the full pass filter i question why i am even doing subs (ok so i lie about questioning the subs who doesnt love some serious bass)

[cyanidecologne]

Fits like a glove and sounds amazing. Once again big thanks to Brian Garin and the boys at Real Auto Works in La Habra, Ca. Anyone looking to do any custom work on their car in so cal i strongly recommend you check them out.

[ElCapitan464]

WOW man looks awesome, i have to stop by and hear this thing, looks really nice man

[Calabria]

looks like some top notch work...should sound amazing with all that image dynamics.

[cyanidecologne]

WOW man looks awesome, i have to stop by and hear this thing, looks really nice man

Thanks Nick, Ill be at work tomorrow probably from like 1-6 hit me up if you want to come by and check it out.

[titanium3.2]

Guess you dont use the trunk much

[cyanidecologne]

Guess you dont use the trunk much

That is correct sir. Now only very very clean things will go in the trunk haha

[Doctor]

Very nice, I love custom jobs very much...I myself would have done it all in suede, but you went for the combo...Looks nice, and I am sure it is even better listening to it playing...

Congrats.

[Spiff69]

Wow, totally Baller! That definitely stands as one of the top few system integrations in a B7.

[dblock110]

nice - how did they get the enclosures the same angles, how did they do it so perfectly, or are they slightly different

[Eternalmind]

looks amazing [up] ...i especially appreciate that you went so custom, while keeping it so classy and functional at the same time. props.

[cyanidecologne]

Very nice, I love custom jobs very much...I myself would have done it all in suede, but you went for the combo...Looks nice, and I am sure it is even better listening to it playing...

Congrats.

Yeah i figured if the paint gets beat up i can wrap it in suede later. The contours are just so much more defined with paint i couldnt be any happier with the finished product. And yes the sound quality of it is absolutely amazing.

[cyanidecologne]

Wow, totally Baller! That definitely stands as one of the top few system integrations in a B7.

Thank you sir

[cyanidecologne]

nice - how did they get the enclosures the same angles, how did they do it so perfectly, or are they slightly different

The angles are basically dead on. the right side has a tiny bit less bulge to it but i honestly dont think anyone could have built it better.

[Gingerkid]

WOW... that is nothing but fantastic sir. I appreciate the write up and pictures.

I just put in a little 'budget' JL 10W3 wedge. Now I'm wanting to upgrade the headunit and door speakers.... before long I'm afraid I'll end up full on custom.

That setup you have is amazing. VERY VERY VERY NICE :-)

[Msu2312]

EDIT: didnt load the new pics thats amazing

[Quattro]

dood! way clean...uber jealous!!!!

[cyanidecologne]

dood! way clean...uber jealous!!!!

Thanks Randy, Like i said whenever you are ready for something custom these guys are absolutely amazing.

[Mezzer]

Very nice... Kinda wish I didn't need my trunk.

[cyanidecologne]

Very nice... Kinda wish I didn't need my trunk.

I can still use mine, i just need to use it with caution now haha.

[a4b7]

everything looks good [up] I wish I can FB like that

are the 2 subs facing each other or angled? wont there be cancellation if both subs are facing each other?

[cyanidecologne]

The 2 subs are slightly angled towards the cabin. Image Dynamics actually said that cancellation really is never an issue however either way this setup would not have any issues with cancellation due to their angles.

[Rotond0000]

Holy fucking shit i hate you

[cyanidecologne]

Holy fucking shit i hate you

Should i take that as a compliment?

[cyanidecologne]

RS4 bumper, CF hood, Caractere roof spoiler, and RS4 black optic grill, cc modded headlights are all painted and ready to go on next weekend im so stoked. Now its time to start saving for some Capital Forged wheels I've got my design and finishes all picked out.
