Ok a few pics of the facia work. 1) Next stage, trimmed off the tape 2) a rough dremel 3) trying to keep a straight edge 4) The only way I know it is flat is when the paint is off & at the same level as the plastic epoxy resin.... 5) Pretty damn happy with that visually, but it...

To have to pad the facia width out & trim the internal aperture to allow a standard brand name Double DIN size isn't really plug n play, but I guess in the US the dash might be slightly different. I can certainly see why there are very few ICE Honda Accord (7th Gen) in the UK, and nearly all of...

Bearing in mind I have now decided to go with plain black or the facia front, I think with the trim was the best option. There were problems however, as the Metra facia has two curves. One from top to bottom, the other horizontally which you can't really see until you take the whole thing...

I managed to get a little bit of work done on the install yesterday. Happy just to get a little bit done after all the time off with health issues. The Double DIN facia has been nothing but troublesome, but those who might know me back from LOC days understand facia modding is something I can do...

Unfortunately not, my initial delay was due to a stay in hospital due to contracting viral meningitis, & been back in again since, due to a foot infection that started whilst I was in there, & has become massively serious. I am under strict instructions to stay off my foot as much as possible...

I was a little worried the lights might not match up at night (from the new LED on the left and the camera on the right), but actually to the naked eye from behind they match up fine.

Some info on my thread might help, but personally I wouldn't touch a unit from China, I have heard a few people that have bought them and they are a do it all on the cheap, the sound quality won't be up to much nor will the reliability, but obviously if you cannot afford a Branded unit, then it...

I forgot to add, my boolid now need a serious dose of Viagra. It pops up only 1 inch now, and when lifting it you feel a ridiculous amount of weight. It will act like a guillotine when closing so might have to fins a way to strengthen the torsion bars, or possibly a hydraulic ram.

7 heat shrunk power connection. Takes a direct feed from the reverse light 8 Rear shelf underside 9 start to fill all small voids filled with small strips as best as possible, 2 layers minimum, 3 if possible 10 then a double layer over the top 11 continuing to fill voids...

Here is a progress report. Nowhere near as much done as hoped yesterday, but a sharp shower cut the day short and I'm still recovering from my hospital stay so was pretty tired by then... 1 Boot Insulation removed 2 New LED Bulb & Reverse camera 3 Dremel work on cover plate. Also...

Finally back on track today. I think there are 3 full days left to go to completetion so should we should hopefully be 50% completed after today. Will be deadening the boot & bootlid, maybe fitting the reverse camera, and if enough time, installing the "Big Three" power & ground cabling in the...

BTW guys I am really desperate for a double DIN facia that actually fits perfectly, if anyone has a link please post up!!

apologies for the lack of updates, I was rushed into Hospital the day after this with Meningitis. Luckily I made it thru and am now out & back home, andcan hopefully get some more done next week

It will all help, but dampening the panel helps a heck of a lot with the silent coat, then the stuff you mention in between the silent coat and the carpet or boot lining etc would be the way to go generally.

So the install started on Sunday, I've been using a combination of 4mm Silent Coat, 2mm Silent Coat,and some 9mm thick CCF sheets to deaden panels and cut down on unwanted noise.... a lot of smaller gap sin the rear of the roof were layered up, and once everything was level, then a full coat or...

The 300/4 amp supplies a clean 75wrms x 4 and believe me that is loud enough. The speakers are going to be mounted on MDF rings once the Silent Coat has been applied, along with a de-coupling CCF layer behind each speaker to reduce the effect of the sound waves. I will keep the door cards as OE...

Shameless bump, anyone with any help much apprexciated

I don't want to take the thread offtopic, it would be really disripectful to the chap who has done such sterling work so far. I have a sort of questions thread here http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/16603-upgrading-the-accord-icdti-ice-many-questions-hopefully-answers-too/#entry188387 with...

Updated system diagram

The improvement in sound will be huge, the roof alone makes a very different sound if you tap it no, and the rear shelf had masses of rattles, not any more tho. The roof has between 8mm to 16mm of Silent coat son it and the rear shelf has at least 8mm on top and again on the bottom with 12mm on...
