Thread: 1996 Accord Install Redone

It's been quite awhile. I've been in Michigan and school started up again. But anyway I decided to get another battery and I'm relocating both of the batteries into the trunk and my friend and I will be rebuilding the housing on my trunk with ABS plastic adding compartments for spare tire and battery access.

So far I have the batteries sitting in the back I have to get some like 20 ft of 4 gauged wire to handle this this along with another like 5 feet to attach the two batteries. fun.

Anyway after saying all of this I now have to rewire everything I put in because the wires are running through the firewall and all that jazz. It will be more organized doing it this way just take awhile longer to redo the wiring.

Also I got new headlights since mine are really freagin old. The stock ones, in my opinion, look horrible and I wanted one where the corner lights and the headlights housing were attached into one; the halo projector headlights were the only such things that I found.

Hey guys,

it's been quite some time since I last updated this thing. I haven't been able to get much more done since school started back in august. I did end up doing the trunk mount duo-batteries. I'm running them with 2/0 guage wire from http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMa...lossus%20Kable

They were really fast so that next weekend I ended up getting a new hood and a new windshield since I was at a party and someone got thrown onto my hood of my car *_*. Cracked the windshield and dented the hood. haha. Stupid kids and throwing them off of a two story building. haha.

Anyway, I've accomplished the battery mount. Most of these pictures are about a week old so the amplifier isn't connected so the speakers are just kind of flopped in there. I haven't yet done the ABS plastic probably two weeks from now that will be done. I'm working on rewiring everything which I'm nearly done.









Don't worry the front connection is covered in about 3 layers of thick heatshrink so water won't be getting near that. That whole wiring set up took from 10am - 3pm. I included two interior direct connectors in the front part of the dash which isn't in those pictures and one near the backseat that hooks directly to the amplifier.

The wire between the backseat will be covered by a custom housing I'm making for the amp/computer box. The computer is all set up just needs a plexiglass case for it. The invertor, main switch board, and window switches will be installed tomorrow since I don't feel like going to school tomorrow. GASP. I may test the computer in it's present state in the car tomorrow depending on the time I'm working on it.I'll be sure to get pictures of course. Just no night shots. Plug I'm not done getting all the lights I will need for this install.

The computer should be done soon. After that just strictly doing electric/wiring work to the car.

Okay so I did some replacements in the time being, since I haven't had much to do with the car computer. I need to wait for a friend to order some plexiglass and some plastic pieces.






New headlights that aren't completely broken.


I busted out the metallic tape for making the dvd/cd drive housing.


After doing this I realized the cd drive housing was thicker than the armrest which wasn't much of a problem. I'm just going to recover the armrest in ABS plastic once he gets back from vacation.

I got bored and decided to paint it even though it won't matter one bit.

And this is the housing of the drive in place and the holder for the power inverter since I wanted it above all my wires traveling front and back in my car.

lol yeah I know. I was using a sander and going really fast. I didn't really care how it looked since i was just looking for structure because I can cover it all with plastics soon. Plus I don't like using bondo in tight areas like that because the flat I was using wasn't really sliding it on very easily.

Okay so far so good, sub boxes have been made. Side rivets have been added to the sides of the armrest center console and I've been starting on the redoing of the trunk in my spare time. I lost 3 days out of my break from a 104.8 fever so I wasn't able to do much yet. I'll get pictures up once we start installing the trunk hopefully on tuesday.

spread your bondo before it hardens too much homey

Don't say that since I obviously know that. It's a tad bit hard when you live in one of the hottest/humid states in the US. I can hardly put any hardener in it and it will start solidifying within 1 minute. It's a *****.

I really didn't care what it would look like because I'm wrapping it in ABS plastic if you read the descriptions.

well it's been forever since I've updated this thing on my progress. I got my amps + sub boxes mounted. I got the laptop and just recently wired the power button. I'm waiting to find a momentary power button like this that isn't in China http://www.alibaba.com/manufacturer/...sh_Button.html

I've decided to move my disk drive under the armrest instead of coming out the front. I've redoing my armrest switch board. It still needs a few tweaks and what not.


My polk audio subs.


The area that I have to work with


The results with a Infinity 611a amplifier pushing my db's.


Polk audio amp pushing my 6x9s

I still have to paint my subboxes but I've been waiting to redo the aluminum sheets mounting the amps to drill in the secured locks because they don't hang over far enough.

I got bored so I bought like 20 pairs of green cold cathodes installed two under the dashs and 4 in the trunk along with 2 hooked up to the door sensor so I can see back there at night when unloading stuff.






The rear seats. I know I overdid it with the lights but honestly they to help while driving if I need to find something really fast while I'm at a red light or something. And plus I love that green haha.


That's my RR skin (kuo skin) I'm using right now but my friend is going to write me something in OpenGL and Litestep to use in the car specifically for my needs.


The laptop hd is a dell Lat. d510
Wireless card
Bluetooth
40gb hd (need to be upgraded)
512kb ram (definitely needs to be upgraded)
Main battery + slide in battery for total of 9 hours of life being constantly used.
the lcd is broken but that doesn't really bother me and I can get it replaced simply.
2.0ghz processor blah blah blah so on.
