Just gonna post pics of my install.
My system is going to consist of old school components.

1. Headunit - Alpine 7909 cd
2. Sub - Single Kicker s10c solobaric sub in 0.66 cu ft sealed box
3. Fronts - Kicker 6.5" R6 resolution mids with nd25a tweeters
4. Amplifier - ESX Quantum Q120.4 4 channel (Zed built)
5. Sound deadening the doors.
6. Building 1/2" speaker baffles for mids.
7. Installing 170 amp HO alternator

I will be updating the thread as my components arrive.
So far I have installed the Alpine 7909 cd and built my box for my sub.

The car 1990 Civic Si hatchback






Got a box made for my kicker s10c solobaric sub :) 0.66 cu ft
It's got a 1" MDF front panel while the rest is 3/4" MDF.
Im going to feed it about 360 watts RMS.

Where are you guys finding these ESX amps?
I love those cars!! Looks like a very clean one. That Alpine looks PERFECT in there.
The equipment goes with the car sooooo well. That solo is going to move some air in that car ;)

Where did you ever find such a clean/unabused civic like that? One of my all time favorites.

Wow... I can't believe how clean everything is for it's age. Keep up the awesome build!
always wanted a crx never seen one that clean
Your 90 Civic Si, brings back memories of the 91 Civic Si (teal) that I once owned in 94/95. I had small system installed Denon cd player, alpine active crossover, Soundstream MC245, ID horns, alpine 6.5" (doors), USD Audio 1060 10" subwoofer. I need to dig out pictures and scan them; so I can post them.
Awesome stuff. Those cars are in great shape. Really love the CRX. (Minus the tweets on the door) I had the previous body style CRX Si that someone stole my Audison VR amps out of. Thought they were nice and hidden in the storage compartment. :(
Is this car where the components will reside?

I like the 7909...old school for sure!

Yes the white civic.. :)
Love the car Robb, love the throwback install. You need some gold outline lettered Kickers for a complete O/S feel.

You already know I love the 7909. ;)

Question for you, where exactly do you plan to fit these 10 inch midbass drivers. I had the same car, a 1990 sedan, and I cant seem to visualize where you could possibly be putting those 10's.

Man, what a nice setup. Can't wait to see the final results. I'm doing a semi old school build as well.
