well, i got this from a firend and im starting to install it but decided to mod it a lot because i didnt like the way it sits.. its going to be pushed towards the rear of the car more so i have more room in between the box and divider to do some custom work... here are pics so far... the box is not set in yet but it fits perfectly... also, i want to install it the right way.. on my firends car, they used 2 inch self tapping wood screws and didnt even look out for the gas tank!!

here is the website link to the pics and info of what is installed and going to be

note, nothing is attached yet, and i just set the black cover over the subs for the pic..... its going to be fiberglassed and painted to match the car:




thanks!!

 

The carpet looks nasty. Wrap that bitch in vinyl.

 

yea, it is... im covering the whole thing in fiberglass which will be painted the same color as the car

 

 

That is painful to look at

 

why?

 

im sorry i dont have quick disconnects for dead weight when racing

its not that bad... it weigh's 32 lbs....

an im taking a whole lot of weight off other places!!

 

Are you sure? The subs alone would be nearly that. Or more?

 

I think one of my JL 12w7 is like 50 lbs w/ box.

 

I agree that vinyl will match your interrior better then paint. BTW what is the whole on the left side for?
P.S. I hope your filling those open pockets besides the box with capactors or something. The amp would probably fit real nice in there and out of sight.

 

Guy's, its not done yet... relax... let me finish and ill post some pics!!

oh, and isnt vinyl like leather??

 

Vinyl is a synthetic leather. Looks good and you can get it the same color as your interrior. A little heat gun and it stretches real nice.

 

I have 4 15"s in my trunk.

 

Post pics of those 4 15's. I would love to see them! What size is the enclosures for each?

 

i have four 10's... two enclousures

reven3rdgen how many amps do you use

 

your not talking about in your 7 I hope? This i gotta see...

 

3 JL's? ...can your sub handle a 1ohm load?

That box with those speakers are at least 60lbs. Maybe less if the subs are weak W0's. W6's would be about 15lbs/ea (I have two). Are you going to use speaker grills since they are not covered?

 

you mean amp

 

I was just kidding guys, i didn't thin anyone was going to take me serious, anyway i dont like sounds in my car.I did think about it once and i talk to some guy in Santa Fe Srings CA the shop was called creative car and audio and i was told that he could do the job for me but good thing i didn't end up doing it.

 

rzograbian, what model JL's are you running??

looks like... w3's?? Get 2 W7s and it will be louder than 2 of those.. I have one 10 W7 and it was scary loud. and awesome sound.

Go nuts and go all Carbon fiber overlay..

 

hahah.. i was thinking of blue carbon fiber!! hahah....... think it will look nice?

also, these are way to loud 4 me!! there is a sub level on my head unit that gots from 0-8, i cant take louder than 3!!!

if anything, im going to downgrade!!

 

I think JL's are one of the best subs.. I used to be really into car stereo back in 94-96.. I used to go thru subs like oil change.. After I got the w6's that was it.. I still have them.. The new JLw7s.. wow.. amazing.. i'm not as into it as before but, when i heard the 8w7 and 10w7s, man.. just amazing..

 

Roman, you're crazy LOL

Phil, if you think the 8w7s I had were something, you should hear the 12w6v2. IMO (and many other audio magazines), it's the best 12" sub they've ever tested. Sounds 100 times better than the 8w7s IMO. 12w7 is great, but vastly impractical for an FD. The w7s require such a large enclosure space, and vent from around the cone AND from the rear, requiring even more room for mounting. Plus, contrary to popular belief, you can have too much bass. But yea it's def hot. I can't wait to see your sound setup. We're gonna have to go at it

 

WHAT!! Can't hear you!
