Will do. Will more than likely take better pics tuesday with a better camera. We still have to do so wire loom in the back but not too much- (ran out of loom by the rear battery) I cant wait for the new alt to get here Friday, stays in the 12.9v range as is though on overly heavy bass lines.

Well it is done but most of the pics are too darck to see. Here is the view from the front window. Sounds better than I thought it would with the deck the system has and no eq.

Should be done Saturday, the kicks are in and so are the front speakers, the fans are wired as well as the amp rack lights. Center console and the ps2 will be next. The rear battery hold down is finished (diamond plate aluminum) All we need to do is put the car up on the lift for the mounting bolts/holes and wire it up and tune it.

To make the kicks the same would require the moving of the ECM (which is not small) and to do a corner loading kick up under the dash would require moving of some VERY larg parts under the driver side dash. The speakers are however in roughly the same sized enclosure the same distance off the floor and at a very close angle. The kicks squeeze into the factory plastic kicks and fit the contour of the floor. Everything done to this car except for the dash mod can be put back to stock. pretty easily.

I need a better camera !!! The tweed looks like fuzzy carpet and the fuzzy carpet looks like bear fur. When you see it in actual light it looks very different.

lol, a dying pig? Nice. I'll definitely start opening up my options again. Set backs in money have made me put my priorities straight so the subs will probably have to wait a while, so I have plenty of time to full on decide. I just wish I could hear them in person. I'm even thinking about seeing if I could fit a regular sized sub in the back and going a little bigger. The box might be small and a little under recommended size, but we'll see. I got offered a really good deal from a friend on 3 kicker comps and a 2400w amp, but I think I just want the amp. Depending on specs of course. Either way, anybody have any videos that do shallow mount subs justice? I know you can't full on comprehend the sound from a video, but most of the shallow mount videos on youtube are recorded with pretty shitty cameras. Or any suggestions on regular sized subs that take tiny boxes? As long as the mounting depth is below 7", I should be able to work something out. TS-SW251 is the model number. THEY NEED at least .5 cft. You go smaller than recommended they dont get very low at all.

TS-SW251s from pioneer are not too bad. Both sets I put in were in about .5 cft sealed with a memphis 500 watt mono amp on each. Both were in full sized trucks. 1 extended cab the other was a standard cab. Was not the loudest 10's I have heard but you could feel them pretty well..enough to make the neighbors look out the window. The didn't get sloppy either.

Pioneer shallow mounts are not all that bad. I have put in 2 pairs and the bang without hanging and sounding like a dying pig.

We have the kicks finished These are the kicks just prior to the final sanding stage. Driver side fitting. Passenger side fitting. Amp Rack out of the car. The Kinetik batteries. 1 Kinetik Racing KR5112 for under the hood and a KR1212 for in the back beside the amps.
