Ya, I think that looks really proffesional. Nice job man. I too hope to do something like this.

Aight thanks, i was gunna have multiple grounds to the frame and run them in through the floor pan.

Wow, I've asked people before and they blow me off!...Thanks A Lot man! I appreciate this soooo much. I can do anything as long as someone explains it to me. So the formula i should use is: (12-16SQ "s X Cubic feet of inside measurments of the box = Port Area.)So if i had an: 8 cube box and whent with 14 SQ of port area. It would be 8 X 14= 112sq inches of port area? Is this correct? This was just a quick, off the top of my head.

Whats wrong with rockford wire? and I was planing on putting some welding power wire in my car for my ground. I figured why not since i got it laying around.

which kind of RF 6.5's were these componets or no? like did they come with cross overs?

what kind of 12's

How do you even find out what to tune your port too?..I wann learn how to tune ports and i want to learn about port area.I've built some ported boxes and they seem alright but i have no clue what they are tuned to or anything..lol I'm planing on going a lot bigger this summer when i get my next car that i will keep a while. I need to learn about ports, so if anyone has suggestions,tips, or wanna help me learn. I would appreciate it greatly and you would be helping me a lot.

Hey, while we are on the topic of wires. What do you think about ground wires? Do you guys run your grounds from the engine bay? Just curious? I was thinking about grounding mine on the rear section of the frame and then running the wires in the same pipe and same hole that my power wires come in through the bottom of the vehicle? Sound good or not so much?

So you are wanting less port or more? I have a-d-d and get really confussed. If you want less port i suggest putting some black foam: like people put on there roll cages in race cars. I would put it in the port with the slit and hole facing out so air still come out. start with longer peices and cut them shorter according to your liking. My friend did this when he F'd up his port..It worked well. Otherwise just make a new top piece and new port peices.

My bud has a 3k also. He is running 2 18"s in the hatch. Box is undersized. It is a sealed box because he is a firm beilever in them for some reason. He has about 4-5 cubes and the subs are real close to the hatch. He is under powering the woofers by half. I mean he has enough power to make one happy. LMAO. He messed around with the latch so the hatch does not flex as much. Did a real nice job with it. It moves hair a tweak already. A lot more needs to be done with this system. I would suggest making a real nice box that hugs the lines of the hatch. IDK what your sub wants for cubes but i bet you can get close to what you need. I would say Sub in the middle of the box and port whereever you would like. My buddy also cut the round plastic peice that dips down on the hatch lid for more clearance for subs.

What do you mean you built your own? What did you build?

Ya....that car looks sweet..I've never heard of the subs you have. Sounds to me your electrical system is beefed up and you got plenty of POWA....soooo my guess is 146.5 to 148.7 haha...who cares as long as your bumpin.

What you got? and what are the prices? I got a buddy looking for an amp too. For 2 18"s. So let me no man.

I'm kind of seeing what people offer me. ok, i've heard AQ's are real nice what is the wattage on those things? any flaws with the subs? What amp were you pounding them with? and how long have they been played?

I'm looking for some nice 15s or 18s. Also possibly a big amplifier too. Let me know what you got.

Ya, lol me either.... Do you think it is even a common thing that people do? Or not so much?

underhood fuse box?....Can you explane this? I have not heard about this trick? Only big three? Explane this too me please.

Eclipse Titanium serious are real nice, Ask the guy if he will meet you half way or something. When i've sold systems off craigslist to people that live far away i would meet them halfway or quarter the way. Doesn't hurt to ask the guy.

So you think any line of the rainbows would be nice on a aftermarket h.u.? What about mb quart? They are german made speakers rite?

Never heard of rainbow, I heard the older image dynamics components are nice. Yes i am looking to have great sound quality. I want to be able to hear my vocals over my bass. I don't want them to be over powering though. I heard JL's components are AMAZING!!!! Is this true? Where can i find info on the rainbow speakers?

Any brand and model suggestions?

Ok, thanks alot. Is it a MAJOR Difference between H.U. powering speakers and an amp? You can blow speakers easy if you don't know what your doing? Correct? I may just be happy with upgraded speakers running off a H.U. And the reason for the higher efficiency is so the speakers can utilize the little power they are receiving? Is that correct?

Looking for a good deal on a head unit. I would really like a double din head unit. But would still be interested in a nice basic deck with all the nice settings.Please reply and let me know what you have to offer.

Hey i am wondering if any of you guys have some good ideas for speakers that would work great on just on a head units power. I Would possibly hook them to an amp later down the line, but can not afford speakers and an amp rite now. So my question is what brands and models of speakers do you guys recomend running on just a head unit? Thanks alot

I would say if you could find someone that already re-coned one of those woofers, and they had took the surround off nicly and not a hack job, I would say buy the surround from them and shim your coil and glue the new surround on and let it dry and take your shims out put your dust cap back on and bump away.
