depends on what the other end will look like. you thinking to mount this sideways to capture the loop? the button will need to be on the rear deck so you can push and open or close.

the factory one pulls at a down and back angle. I am going to make a bracket so that it sets right in line to pull in that motion. right now I have the rod removed so that I can put my finger in there and unlatch it. but that is a pain in the ***. was gonna put the button in the trunk where I could reach in through the ski hole and press it.

so this is the plan with the new car. Gonna take some time I gotta save up some money. but here we go.

Head unit: Pioneer AVIC-x850bt
Battery: Deka Intimidator 9a47
Sub: either running a GPI Aggitated 10 or a DC 8
Sound processors:
EQ: NVX XEQ7
crossover: Lanzar OPTIx3b
Amplifiers:
4-channel: Cerwin-Vega HED 3800.4
2-channel: Cerwin-Vega HED 3400.2
Monoblock: Cerwin-Vega Vega 600.1
Components:
Front: Morel Tempo 6
Rear : CDT CL-6d

not decided on wiring but probably end up going with SKY HIGH OFC and stinger RCAs.

Open to any suggestions and I know this is not a Honda but I will try to keep the build very well Documented. Gonna go easy on the Deadner want to keep as much of the stock insulation in tact as possible. keep the road noise down.

you could pick up a MiniDSP or two (2 in - 4 out) for processing (T/A, crossover, EQ)
