Stereo, custom made for FN2 trunk

anar · 12th October 2007, 09:53

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share with you my new stereo, built by a company here in Stockholm, Sweden.

Everything (including front system) is JL Audio, subwoofer made from a fast sketch I made on a napkin. Comments and critique always welcome!

Sorry for not posting images right off, but this link will have to do.

looks rather nice!

Unknownsoldier · 12th October 2007, 16:06

Very good idea, although doesn't it shake up your food, when you've been shopping, lol.

No, I put the grocery bags in the passenger seats

And thx for the comments

illegalhunter · 12th October 2007, 16:28

Wow thats gonna burst you eardrums

m4rky · 12th October 2007, 17:06

That is a really nice installation - Does it light up at night??? Looks like theres a neon attached???

FWH · 12th October 2007, 18:27

Nice.

What front system?
Is it also powered by the amp?

anar · 12th October 2007, 20:18

Hey thanks for the comments

Yes, it lights up, but only very little (not too tacky) since the wooden board lies over the whole thing and you can only see some blue light through the plexi glass. The actual neon light is covered by the board during normal use.

The front system is also JL Audio together with some Kenwood main unit. All speakers are powered by the amp.

FWH · 12th October 2007, 20:20

Kenwood HU?

Have you pulled out the original radio?
Pics?

Looks like these chaps know what they are doing - good job.

anar · 12th October 2007, 22:38

FWH, I dont have the GT. I only know one more person here in Sweden that didnt order the GT. Kinda rare haha.

Swindon: Thanks, and it sounds as nice as it looks as well.

Unless you have it as an option, Civics generally don't have a spare wheel

anar · 13th October 2007, 15:11

Yeah, didnt have a spare tyre to begin with so no loss there.

Coldie · 30th October 2007, 05:52

I can see that you have RCA's going into the amp - which head unit do you have? Is it the stock one/Sat Nav/Single or Double Din? (In Australia we only get one model/spec)
Im desperately wanting to upgrade the sound system - Our head units dont come with RCA's (Preouts) sucks

anar · 30th October 2007, 07:46

The main unit (at the dashboard) is a Kenwood-someting, single Din. I mainly use my USB-memory to play music from so its perfect. I dont have the GT-model so no Stereo was there from the beginning which made it very easy to fit any unit in there.

I didnt do any of the actual work tho, better left to the pros.

The whole thing cost about 14000SEK ~ 1500EUR.

vtec-hungry · 30th October 2007, 20:23

very nice and tidy, get rid of the light though, light just makes it tacky!

anar · 30th October 2007, 21:51

Thanks! The light is almost not visible when the board lies over the whole thing. Only some faint blue glow from the side, not too tacky for me.
