Well i've already had a 100% custom box fabbed for it, i know nothing of the trade, and can admit that ;-)
Yeah, i'm aware that the rear speaks are being blocked by the subs, but, i figure its justified for a couple of reasons
1), They are just rear staging speakers, meant to fill out the sound (kinda redundant buying 6x9's then, huh ;-)?)
2), With the subs back there, it doesnt bother me that much. it still sounds HELLA clear.
Rotary Emotions:
One thing that i'm not too pleased about with my turbo swap, my exhaust is too loud. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE the sound, but i have to have my volume **** turned up to like 28 for it to be at reasonable clarity while cruising at 60 (damn washington speed limits, damn you germans and your autobahn!!!). A new exhaust sysetm is in order.

might wanna try a nice presilencer and a hi flow cat.. thats if you have emissions or not.. It knocks it down quite a bit. I would get the biggest RB makes to help with your flow. Just my 2 cents. something you already knew..

Geoff- go to Motortrenz, or Snow's Auto here in town... they have this stuff called Dynomat. It sticks to metal and makes it not resonate. If you put that on your floor boards along where your exhaust is, it will be MUCH quieter.
Also, if you ARE interested in doing window tinting, I got my Red rex done at Motortrenz for $145.00 (military discount.) That was all 5 windows. The back was done dark as hell and the side ones were done as dark as was legal.
The only thing I don't like about you doing a tint job is that I don't think it would look right with that paint. It would look better than a busted out window from someone stealing your ****, but....

Looks excellent!
Slightly too much sound for my taste though (and I'm a professional sound-guy
)
I wish I had the ambition to make my ride look that good.
Those are 15"s I assume?
I've always wanted to try an EVX-18 driver in a small car just to see if it shattered windows or not... :-) It's not exactly meant for car audio, but should be a serious kick in the pants...
Keep up the good work-- I'm sure you'll really rattle some windows once you get the custom box in there.

Just be careful underpowering your speakers. People have a tendancy to run the volume too high thinking that it can't hurt them since they're underpowered.---- That's certainly not the case.
I like Fosgate :-)
