This Civic has been my car since 1998. It was my very first brand new car back then and I was so proud of it. Over the years, it has served as my work car, family car, car audio competition car, and even made it onto the pages of Car Audio and Electronics magazine. I have so many memories with this car, including when my son, who is now all grown up with a beard and his own child, came home in it. Unfortunately, it was stolen many years ago and completely stripped down. They took everything, from the wires to the seats, and even replaced the suspension with firewood logs. It was heartbreaking to see it in such a state.
But I didn't give up on it. I decided to rebuild it and got about halfway through the process. I managed to get it running again, put in custom seats, and even walled it off. It was a slow project, but I worked on it whenever I had the time. However, as the years went by, my interest started to fade. I found myself more focused on Mokes 72 Cutlass, which you can check out on my channel. I completely lost interest in the Honda and left it untouched for years, except for occasionally playing around with the perfectly working audio system.
Unfortunately, about three years ago, it was broken into while parked in the side yard of my shop. The thieves took the Alpine double din, but luckily, my security cameras caught them in the act. Since then, I covered up the car and let it sit, slowly deteriorating.
Now, I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with this car. One thing I know for sure is that I will be removing the audio system. I might turn it into a decent little lowered car with a small system, or perhaps go bigger and better with it. Only time will tell. For now, I appreciate you watching, if you did!

Sorry about the fluctuating voices, this new setup I have is real nice but it is also very directional (the mic) because I am tired of picking up so much shop noise while filming. I am not used to it and caught myself not speaking into the right area of the mic a few times. Also, it is a remote setup so a few times I was filming I forgot I didn't even have the new mic actually on me DUHHH...then there are some settings I need to work on. I didn't know how this was going to sound till I got home behind my computer for editing. I know what I need to do to make this better next time. Bear with me! :) thanks for watching if you did!

All good mane. I will say, it kinda is weird not hearing the machines running. Almost feels like the video is incomplete without a buzz and a whizz, with some music going. I feel ya though. Your channel, your choice, but I don't mind the machines going. Feels genuine with the sounds of work going on. Still look forward to the change. Salute!!!!

Man King Bass I finally finally snagged one of your AMM-1 from Big Jeff's. I've wanted one for what 10 years now lol. You've had them for quite some time now. But yeah just wanted say thank you for designing/making it. A total bassheads dream not crunching math and knowing it's still gonna be incorrect due to rise and all. I really look forward to testing it out with the new system after I get it installed!

I remember being heartbroken back on ROE when you posted the pictures of the theft recovery all those years ago. I never realized the wall was made like that...I suppose the direction of the build depends on what you're really wanting the car to do. If you're actually going to put some miles on the Civic (if it were me) I'd gut the wall and electrical down to the alts. Have the alts modernized, go full lithium and rebuild with efficiency/weight saving in mind. Then get an alignment and get a new set of tires...make sure your hub bearings are all in good shape. You and that Civic have been through a lot, I'd really love to see her shine in that sunlight with a fresh bill of health. Fyi, you were a good role model and inspiration to me when I was much younger. I'm doing great now (15 years later lol), thanks for always cultivating a great community Steve.

I don't know man, I personally love the classic style build this was, one of those cars that actually gets driven with a pretty big system in it you hear beating down the street, not an extreme SPL build, but still pretty big! Those RE 18's are awesome, the box is awesome. If it were me, I'd swap out the subs to something new, and amps, perhaps change up the trunk / amp rack. I'd be tempted to suggest putting the RE's back in and run it like that for a while. Now, if you plan on the car sitting again for a while, I'd box up the RE's and send them to me for a build (kidding!! sorry with all the people begging for free stuff, it's hilarious reading the comments and had to throw that in there lol), but yeah box them up, and put them on a shelf somewhere to save them, they are still great subs you've had for a long time, so might as well save them, would hate to see them stolen if the car gets broken into again. Lastly, would be cool to see a video of the RE's back in for a bass test with an amp on your bench for old times sake before you rip the wall out if you do go that route. I'll still be tuned in to this series no matter how it goes.

Steve these videos are such an inspiration. I had a 96 accord when I was 18, I’m 42 now and the past week or so, I’m looking to get another 96 accord. How awesome are 90s model Accords . I’ll definitely be installing a system and doing it right (I was 18 young and dumb) and 25+ years I’ve learned a ton. SMD products is a MUST for car audio enthusiasts ( is there another company anyways (only kidding but not really) Top notch products and they work flawlessly, customer service is beyond incredible, Steve personally answers emails, even for small people like me, it’s just rare these days and I wouldn’t ever run anything but SMD equipment. Buy whatever subs and Amps you want but spend your money on Steve’s equipment, does it cost, sure if does but nice stuff costs money , is it worth it, a million percent it is, I’d even go as far as to say if a product fails and it’s legitimate that it was on his end/engineering, Steve will send you another one. I have to get another TC1 cause I accidentally pulled the ground from the circuit board when cleaning behind my VM1 & OM1 and TM1 so I’m at fault. ordering another one soon 😀He stands behind what he makes. If it’s user error, then that’s on you, not him. Steve has been awesome to work with throughout the years, I appreciate that so much. I’m hoping to find a nice, low mileage (100K or less) 96 accord here soon. Thanks Steve, im truly inspired Roy Sullivan / North Carolina I’ve never met Steve a day in my life and we ain’t friends or anything, but through the years, I’ve learned he stands on integrity and works hard to give us all PHENOMENAL products.

That drywall article is interesting although subwoofers now are much more advanced but they make a type of sheetrock called sound board that would be awsome for that application back then "late90s" as a kid/teen when I hung it it was 5/8 thick the manufacturers said it equivalent to pressing 8 layers of 5/8 firecode drywall in a press. It was ridiculously expensive like 150$ per 12foot board
