Wow that looks pretty sweet! I got pretty lucky, the car audio shop did an exchange for me a month after having it. So there was minimal damage to my wallet as a result :D

Hey, sorry for the delay in response. They mounted the amps under my seats. I was able to get away with that because I used smaller JL Audio amps.

I'd like to post an update on my experience with the FiX86. After using it a while I've found that the sound quality isn't what I was hoping for. Louder volumes sound distorted and overall it doesn't compare to what I used to get out of my old Pioneer deck. I'm having it swapped out today for...

Yes most definitely.

I see. I know the feeling too well. Whatever you decide keep us posted. I'd probably ask them for some sort of guarantee that it will fix your problem otherwise provide a full refund.

What else were you told you would need in addition to the fix 86? Have you tried taking it to a local car audio shop for an evaluation and quote?

I have the base LX hatch and I used this to feed my XD400/4 which powers my JL Audio C2-650X's. JL Audio FiX 86 https://www.crutchfield.com/S-YcAJle3yQ1C/p_13698103/JL-Audio-FiX-86.html I probably could have done without it due to how little the LX model deck changed the equalizer but it gave...

Sure! They actually drilled a small hole somewhere on the inside for a mounting screw that is not visible when the sub is removed and the spare tire tools are put back in. I originally left out the name of the company because I wasn't sure what forum rules are. I'll post it for now but if it...

Cost for building the box was $150 not including the subwoofer purchase. I talked to the audio shop, they said it was right around spec for an 8" subwoofer which is 0.4 cubic feet. I also confirmed that it is entirely made of wood. I guess they used a router to get the rounded edges.

Sorry I should have specified in the initial post that I had my local audio shop build the box for me. I had them remove the spare tire tools from the side and relocate them in with the spare tire. As far as I can tell they only used wood for this install. Fsucutter, you are correct that it is...

Hey all, just got a 2017 Civic Hatchback LX and upgraded the stock stereo. Here is a pic of my custom subwoofer install. I thought I would share this since I didn't see many pics in the forum when I was researching upgrades for my own setup.
