I've checked with 3 of my PC's. All the same thing. Can someone at least upload them to the Forum?

I do have the correct volume, I cut a premade box and then filled in the back of the cut with wood and dynamat. Sounds decent for the bass i wanted. All I was looking to do was add bottom end to the sound, and it does that nicely. With an aftermarket deck and better sub and amp, i think this would sound better, as now its not 'hear it from a block away bass' Then again, i wanted to keep it hidden and more original, and also, I only paid $200CAN for the whole setup....
Its that surgeons general warning that was in the lounge a few months ago, says something to the effect of rx-7 fumes are bad for your health, wear a gas mask or something or other is reccomended.
I like it!

I have the same vented headlight cover. Did you have a difficult time removing the 4 screws that hold it on. I got two out ok, but the other two screws won't budge. Any suggestions?

Next, get three LEDS, make a diffusion grating and then make contact poles so you can get power to it. If i get off my lazy *** i might take pictures later.

The contacts:
its hard... You need to basically dremel out the stock one, then put tape on the face and turn it over and pour in that epoxy **** that they use in craft stores for making thoese clear plastic coated wood stump tables. Then after that, sand the front down, paint the black part and cover it with clearcoat. t
Next, get three LEDS, make a diffusion grating and then make contact poles so you can get power to it. If you notitce i used two pieces of spring steel, and two spade connectors
I filed a little slot in the stud that goes though the window, basically so i could get the wires from one side other.
The most important part is to make sure you get thin LEDS and I had to file mine even smaller.
