I work at a stereo shop at the momment and it is easily possible to acieheve powerfull bass from your doors!! You just have to make a sealed enclosure....

Why are you attacking a guy with a TA? My money is on him!! With your mods a 4 banger is a challenge!! HAHAHHAHA Your car is practically stock! That's a REALLY nice Camaro hood scoop you got there... Why you flaming a guy with a TA when you got Camaro parts on yours!

We've all seen pics of your interior , there's nothing to talk about.....

I've seen some pretty nice custom made panels that fit into the stock kick-panel location on Ebay. I would try to locate this auction, but the computer I have at this office is slower than slow. I think the auction started at $75, but it was nice, as the panel was designed for a component set with tweeters and a woofer.

82TransAM - "Finnity KaPA speakis" and "SubWUFFer" lol

I'm hoping also that 'V12kilr" doesnt allude to his ability to beat Ferrari F-50s or Bugatti EB-110s with his streetport '85 SE that kicks out 750 HP N/A....

Lol at 85rx7gs: yea vinni is so gay (iside joke, we don't expect any of you guys to get it, so don't bother trying) Hey Mike-p-28 thanks for putting your "money" behing me My TA has over 300 hp at the wheels so I think it will wipe his car. I don't want to **** anyone off but v8kilr, you started it by attacking my user name. First off I use that as my user name for just about everything. It allows me to not have to remember a ton of different user names. Besides I have been on this forum for a month and you're the first on to care about it. So leave me alone, I own and drive whatever I damn well please.

Oh yea, We seem to have gotton off topic as usual. Anyway, I want to thank all of you non-jerks who gave me some useful tips/pics about my original question. I'll probably go with 5-1/4 and simply modify the kick panel. It'd be cool to put them in the doors, but that's alot of work and I wany my interior to remain somewhat original. I will be flush mounting tweeters in the doors. Thanks again everyone.

Make sure those tweets are as close to your panel speakers as you can get them or you'll blow your SQL...

What do you have under the hood of your rex? beating a mustang cobra is quite a feat for a first gen. Power to weight ratio advantage only goes so far. You must have some serious **** to do that.

I wasnt taking anyones side I just was saying what he said to you was kinda uncalled for... But anyways, I like all sort of cars, especially with High performance mods... I used to love to go to Car Craft in Du Quoin, ILL and look at all those $20-35k rides I dont care what anyones user name is nor what they drive. Only way I throw my weight around is if someone attacks me, otherwise if its a mustang, honda civic or an old muscle car im happy To me you both got nice rides

Thanks dude that means a lot. When I signed up on this forum I didn't even think that naming myself 82transam would annoy anyone. Oh well, what are ya gonna do? The TA was my first car (rex is second and current car). I got it from my brother and I like it. Note: this does not mean I don't like rx7's or rotary's or anything like that. Far from it. I love first gen rex's, they are one of my favorite all time cars. So I hope anyone isn't really mad at me just cause of my dumb user name. If it really annoys anyone that much I'll change the damn thing. Oh well, just wanted to clarify (I probably just confused everyone more but I tried ) thanks

Hey another question, why is the "racecar" smilie face a 3rd gen camaro? Someone who is good at making those funny little images should make a first gen rx7 smilie face. Better yet, I know a site that has a 82 trans am smilie face!! Sorry I had to say that But I'm not lying I actually do know a site with an 82 TA smilie.
