Are you going to JAE mate? http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/17637-jae-4th-7th-september-kettering-northants-3000-jap-cars/

Hi James, nothing external, the install is pretty stealthy so it won't attract attention when parked, plus any external or performance mods are on the back burner till the warranty runs out. As for the Lexus, I sold the Supercharger last year along with some HKS parts (exhaust, pilar pod gauges...

The pressure is really on now though as my pal only has Sat/Sun next week off work before JAE. Can we really in two days: Completely finish the boot Silent coat under the rear seat Silent Coar all 4 doors thoroughly Run speaker cable into each door Make 4 Custom MDF Speaker Spacers Install 1...

Hopefully we can get a few people along to some meets (London & the South) & you can hear it once completed Steve, or pop up to JAE as I will be there Sat 6th Sept

I could have gone for a really showy bling bling install but wanted a more kinda factory look than my Lexus, so it's subtle but still very nice. The rest of the install is quite stealthy with upgraded speakers behind the factory grills, & a shouty showy boot build wouldn't really go with it. I...

21) Fuse Panel Trimmed (fuse blocks were just placed in picture for effect here & not srewed in) 22) Fuse Panels open 23) Boot takibng shape. Note the same Unipart/Varta AGM Battery I used in the front. Being AGM means it is a faster recovering battery than a normal Lead Acid type, but it...

14) Trimming 1 15) Trimming 2 16) Trimming 3 17) Trimming 4 18) Trimming 5 19) Trimming 6 20) Test Fit

7) Epicentre Cut Out and router for cables 8) Priming the Box. MDF need sealing before painting as it will suck up paint like a sponge 9) Paint the box window 10) Test fit the Epicentre. Now you see why EPIC was written on the box. The Epicentre is a bass processor for those of you...

So this is where we were last time.... Moving on 1) Marking out beauty board, router at the ready!!!! 2) Router radius the window edges 3) Cut Out Window 4) Edges routered with a beautiful smooth radius. This just takes mere seconds to do perfectly with a router & the correct bit...

ha ha it's was just a reminder which way way going to be visible and it would have been easy to router, drill or sand the wrong side.

TBH this entire build from just after the initial roof deadening. Let me explain. After the initial rear deck & roof deadening, I contracted Meningitis and nearly died. I was in hospital for some 11 days, and I am truly lucky to be here. My son was a rock and didn't leave my side for days...

Update to follow shortly

Well a compromise has been made, after several chats with engineer ICE people, there are no offset terminals currently available. One guy wants detailed pics & measurements as they have been asked for before, but he can't make them for a couple of weeks due to lots on at work. So I have had to...

Another test fit Amplifier test fit for spacing & cable planning. We ran out of MDF so using a smaller piece for the amp rack just to plan it out.... Clamping things in place so we can plan out cable routing. You can only do this with the actual cables you are using, so you can see how well...

Thanks Rich!! Well the carpet didn't arrive, but the last pack of Silent Coat did arrive.... when I was out. It kinda sums up my day yesterday. Two steps forward & four back. It seems EVERY little job on this install has been a mare, either in getting things to fit, or having to make...

Gonna finish the box today, install the Subwoofer, Perspex Window, make "beauty boards" (panels covering up cables etc) & an MDF mount for the Audio Control Epicenter. Would be good if the carpet turns up, but as yet no sign. Trip round the Docs first for my daily injection, then a trip home to...

Finished the Silent Coat in the boot yesterday. This really is becoming a chore now, but I can't take short cuts now after all this effort, but started to run low so I had to order some more. We are up to approx £350 just on sound deadening of different types, but thankfully it will be the last...

Some pics of today's work Silent Coat-ing the boot. It's 95% completed, but constant rain interruptions & then failing light put paid to efforts until tomorrow, when I will remember to take better pictures. To apply this stuff correctly takes way way longer than you would think. Stripped out...

Thanks TypeR, post #95 answers the cable question I think. My own expectations are pretty high now, & although the car is not built in anyway to be entered for competitions, it should be able to scare a few in the Sound Quality sector. I deliberately avoided doing door builds with multiple...

Absolutely!! I'm hoping 95% done with just cosmetic stuff by the end of next week...
