the car has been sitting in the garag since i blew the engine last summer-

i have another 12a i bought with about 84k miles on it, engine is perfectly fine actually got it from someone on this site in texas- ont recall the name though

i have pictures at http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...page_id=345938

with that sub box if you turned it around it would have been way better... thats the way myn is and it wails...

Oh and for your question probelly 800 or so if the other engine isn't in. Unless you can find a collector/enthusiast...

Where did all you boys from Missouri and Kansas come from?

How was the motor blown...over heat, apex seal? Is everything on the car stock?

Dude, that is just WAYYYYY too big.



You can have a bad accident not being able to see behind your car.
Not to mention, I would hate to be in an accident with that inside the same car as me.
I would get crushed/punctured/killed.

My God!
Maybe the extraordinary bass caused a catastrophic failure- like the rear rotor getting pushed into the intermediate housing or something?

Dayammn!!

Interesting how everyone mentions the subbox but with my car (the subbox is a little smaller) most people say nothing... And I should mention it sounds awesome...
I really would go with a fibreglass enclosure but not only would it be quieter (the way they sound facing straight back is awesome) but also if I ever wanted to sell the car the stereo could not be taken out, thats why I didn't go with a custom enclosure...
