We'll try to get some up. My son brought it to a local audio store this weekend. He played it for them while one of the workers put his cell phone on the roof. It was getting major air.

The second seat won't go back in untill I finish the box that fits between the seats for the rear speakers.

haha, this thing looks awesome.

the only thing that bothers me is you cant really get to the seat adjuster but there isnt really any place for the seats to go backwards and moving them forward to get to the amp is kinda a pain but the box works well it helps out alot my dad did a nice job

so yesterday i went and got my db reading and i hit a 146.5 and the dash and a 149.6 in the port.

i figure once the roof is fixed and the subs are broken in and i switch out the stack alt with the 200 amp alt i should push 150 thats what im hoping for anyways :)

Impressive!

Are you guys strapping the beast down or letting gravity take its natural course?

Gravity at this point. In a wreck, it'll never get past the seats. I haven't figured out a way to strap it down that would look decent as well as actually hold it in place. Maybe large L-brackets?

Possible solution in large L brackets.

I used Bowmac reinforcement joiners on my removable wall

if you could find something similiar then I'm sure that it wouldn't be a problem.

Put a couple of M12's bolts in and I'm sure it wouldn't move lol

Even some long tek screws would do it.

There is gonna be a lot of momentum, 350 lbs will be like a paperweight in an accident. Bolt it down.

X2 I had a buddy get knocked out by his dual 12" box in his little mazda hatchback, he's got a nice little scar to go with it.. He never really thought about the chance of getting hit by it in a wreck (he hit a guardrail head on at a T intersection)

I'd Find some way to bolt it down. granted the seats should slow it down or possibly stop it in a wreck... but you can't ever be too safe

It'll get bolted down. We may pull it back out when we pull the rear headliner to reattatch the roof pan to the bracing. After we put it in, it'll get secured. If he was in an accident bad enough to rip up the rear seats, I'm not sure there'd be much left of the front end (or him) at that point. I don't even like thinking about that.
