CiviCity Student Budget Build

How do you like it without sound deadener?

 

[CiviCity]

Its very nice actually. I had a few problematic areas but i fixed them with some pieces of foam.
It probably would sound richer if i had dynamat but in my case its useless and only adds weight to the car.

I'll show you a picture of what I've got if you're interested. I have 2 12's in the back and I used hushmat all over the place. Sounds much better than it used to though!

 

[CiviCity]

I sure am! I would love to see your setup. Post those pics up

 

[theevilm]

I'll have to put them up tomorrow, not enough light out right now.

Here are some pictures of what I'm rocking in the trunk.

It's looking real good. Makes me want to sound proof my trunk haha.
But it'll have to wait cause I had a really bad surprise in my trunk yesterday. My sub had literally ripped out of its box. My box was made for 10" subs but we decided to make the 12" fit anyways, and this is the result D:

I was able to secure back with longer and thicker screws but now I'm shopping for a ported 12" sub box.

Thank you! Sorry to hear about that man. Why not build your own box? And sound proofing is amazing. It's a super easy job and my next on the to do list with that is all four doors to cut out the road noise.

 

[CiviCity]

I have thought about it, but I'm not quite sure where to start and how lol. Any tips? Did u build your own box?

 

[theevilm]

I didn't build mine, I bought the subs, box and amp as a package deal off of craigslist. There are a ton of instructional videos on how to build your own if you have the tools. Here's one.

Thanks!

Yea thats one of the reasons why im leaning on buying an overly priced wooden box (lol), its cause i dont have the tools.

 

[theevilm]

Honestly, I would try pawn shops. At least the ones near hear have the subs, boxes, and subs in their own boxes all moderately priced.

Heres a quick teaser of what the car will start to look like for this summer
Much more to come!

I'm really jealous of the MSP wheels, very nice.

Waiting on my tax money to get this rear window roof spoiler! Also placed multiple orders for some new goodies. A few new stickers, 6 plastidip cans and new struts.

 

[theevilm]

Think you can send me the url of the website you ordered that from? I've been looking for one similar to the one the subarus use. There was a guy on here that was considering making a custom one out of fiberglass but I haven't heard back form him.
