'99 Civic Sedan - sound system build up
I reckon it's time to start this thread, maybe it'll be useful for some of you, or just for fun...
Car is a stock '99 Civic Sedan GLI, it's my son's 1st car. We (parents) paid for the car, he's paying for the sound system.
Here's the plan:
- Front doors and boot are getting sound deadening treatment
- Power cable (2ga/35sqmm) will be run straight from the battery
- MDF/fiberglass sub enclosure in the boot, to receive a 12'' Rainbow Hammer sub
- enclosure/housing for Hifonics Zeus zxi 4.150 RMS amp
- Front doors are getting MDF/fibreglass doorboards to receive 2x Polk Audio 6501 6.5'' woofers per door
- A-pillars are going to hold the tweeters, either in a fibreglass, or something else... will see...
- Battery needs to be replaced, thinking of Optima Yellow Top, but we're open to your suggestions...
- A power cap is going to support the power supply to the amp - nothing fancy, but shall do the job...
- HU is the Alpine 117E, it's got what we need for starters
- ... there is probably more, but I can't remember now...
I'll start with some photos, and will update as often as possible.
All comments, suggestions and constructive critic is more than welcome!
Thanks for viewing

pipe is an air port (not airport ). It's used to tune the box to a specific frequency. You have probably seen boxes like that in shops or elsewhere. Some have a pipe, some have a slot, or even a triangle. Shape doesn't really matter, but the square surface and the length of the port must be calculated properly, otherwise the sub would sound wrong - like either producing no deep bass, or just rumbling... There are also sealed boxes (no pipe at all), and bandpass boxes, which consist of one sealed box and one ported. Some manufacturers make one wall on these boxes out of see-through acrylic, so you can see the subwoofer inside.
Btw., which type of box we make/use depends on the subwoofer specs, one can't just decide to use this or that type... There's so much to the topic, of which I have not so much knowledge, but I'm sure if you become interested, there are tons of other forums on the net, with ppl who know their stuff...
Thanks 4 following my buildup
