Nice having a cupholder, the subwoofer makes a big difference in the stereo. The amp is 110 watts (bridged) 50 bucks at Circuit City. I put 6 1/2" 3 ways in the doors, 4 inch 2 ways in the dash, 8 in Sub, and a Pioneer MP3 CD player. Popout cupholder from a Ford Taurus (I believe) Ebay 15 bucks. We in bidness now.

How does that sub sound? I'm in the prcess of doing exactly the same thing.

 

Yeah, I got a box there but have yet to wire up the amp & sub- and I love the cupholder- very sanitary install. Me likes.

 

The sub sounds great. Considering what I paid, I'm very satisfied. That 50 dollar Circuit city amp actually has a Mosfet power supply, and a tunable crossover. I turned it up on it's side when I mounted it for easy access to the *****. If you heard the stereo you'd never believe the entire system cost 350 bucks. I am thinking about putting a couple vents in the spare tire cover to let the sub breathe a little better, might get a little more sound too. Bass is mostly felt though. That model of cupholder is on ebay all the time. It will fit in an old stereo mounting bracket perfectly. I made a plate out of 16 guage steel and mounted 2 stereo drawout brackets in it, and made a black plastic face plate to make it pretty. The cup holder has some plastic **** that stick out on the back that have to be cut off to make it fit. It's kinda like putting 10 pounds of **** in a 5 pound bag.

 

Sweet love the cupholder idea...

found a few on ebay:

Good find!

 

which cupholder do you think will fit best ?

saw the idea and thought it was great.

just bought an 88' rx-7 and tryin to fix her up.

 

i like how it says cupholder on it.

 

How many times I've wished I had a cupholder....
Sub-box looks good. I know there is not a lot of room back there, especially if you leave the spare tire.
I wasn't able to with mine:

Now that's a serious looking subwoofer setup. I bet that baby thumps!

 

hey how did u make the box for the sub?? or did u just buy it

 

On mine I used an old Pyle 8 inch subwoofer box and cut off the back of it, so that it was 6 1/2" tall in the front and 5" tall in back. Then I sealed the bottom with a piece of plywood. I used the other half of the box to put a sub under the back seat of my truck. You can get those Pyle boxes pretty cheap on pricegrabber.com.

 

haha your pretty creative.... saves me alot of trouble with my future sound in the vert. thnx

 

that is nice! too bad my dvd player is going in that slot...
