What happened to the other pictures... The pics only show a half way install.. Is it a WIP.. Post pics of the complete install...

Part 1 looks very good.. Did you put in any damping? And any reason why you're going with the 8 inch subs rather than something bigger? (though the ID's do sound great)

Sorry for going offtopic but can someone please explain me the usage of silver foil which is shown in the above pics.

dude,put the final instal's pics,BTW what about HU?what HU you have instal? stock?

Nice pics, Mojo

And really good equipment. I'd heard the install sounds awesome. Enjoyyyyy!!!

@theEND, I guess he wanted a total stealth + SQ install. Those ID8s are going into the small hollow spaces on the two sides of the end of the boot. I don't think even 10"s would fit (physical size + enclosure volume limitations). And two 8"s would sound real tight. Tighter than a single 12", but about as loud.

@nikibusa, I guess the silver foil is so the fibreglass does not stick to the stock moulded plastic pads, and can be easily removed when required. Those OE pads cost a whole lot.

No damping was used. The general opinion is that new CR-V has adequate in-built damping. 8 inch subs because wanted to preserve boot space and looking back it was a good choice.

The HU is indeed stock. Wanted to keep as low-key an install as possible and the stock HU is very well integrated into the fascia. That said, I still do have option to change HU in the future.

Very nice MoJo....The drive and play esp looks cool on the Dash...Just beware of green eyed devils....

navin · 27th April 2007, 11:13

Very nice Mojo. just the kind of install when 1 12" can be replced by 2 8".

Vid6639 · 27th April 2007, 11:29

I like. That is one very sweeeeeet install. the subs are located beautifully so as to not intrude into luggage area and stealthy.
