System install (Vert Content - Oh Noes!)

[Mouse]

He's got projects going on right now that are taking priority. Hopefully he will start soon so I can start mine as well.

Any updates? How did the sealed box work out?

updates ???

Ahhh yes, the joys of getting decent sound quality in a 'vert. Thankfully Luke is da bomb and hooked a brotha up :)

You and I both know it won't happen, but it sounds like fun, right?

If by fun, you mean pure hell... then yes it sounds like whole heaps of fun.

2.5 ft^3 would be hard to squeeze but I'm sure you could find a way Luke.

Bring me your car, we will cut the entire area behind the rear seat out, weld in angle iron braces so we can build a 2.5 cubic foot-ish box completely under the top storage area.

You can custom-make a shock tower brace, that car could be stiffer than new.

LOL... that would be the "correct" way to do it. 2.5 ft^3 would be hard to squeeze but I'm sure you could find a way Luke.

No updates until equipment comes in... unfortunately.

Great to see, can't wait to read about the results. I am in the same boat and weighing this same setup.

Dammit! I want to haz updates now! :mrgreen:

Very cool, I bought that 5 speed swap from you a while back by the way haha.

[Schnitzer318is]

I bought it at the beginning of the year... around February if I remember correctly.

No updates until all the equipment comes in. Had to wait for a couple of weeks before ordering.

When did you get the vert?

Found a place that has the RE Audio available in dual 4 ohm coils.

Also did some cutting to allow bass into the cabin. Am going to use a 2.5" or 3" port tube through the rear seat to allow bass in. I think I am going to delete the rear defroster as mine is non op anyway. The unit itself is good, changed relay, but still no go. But that's another thread...



Had to make a small notch so that the box wouldn't hit the motor wires coming out of the back compartment.



"Tucked" the wires into the compartment between the sheetmetal to allow the box to go all the way back. I think I am going to have to wrap them in foam or something to keep them from slapping on the sheetmetal with the bass.
