The guys were playing around with some center console ideas.

I hope to hear this soon.

Half the Miata is in one garage, half in the other. Pressed in nuts and rust don't mix.

Google search ceramic paint sealant. That's your best bet for ultimate protection for a vehicle that sits outside and sees minimal care. There's a myriad of product available and they all do the same thing. I personally don't care for them; I prefer a polymer sealant instead, but I clean my vehicles frequently.

New shocks are in route to replace these on the hinges.

She is dusty.

Random shots of the car.

2 rear pods done and they dig pretty sweet. As things loosen up they should only sound sweeter. Total sealed volume is just under .5 cubes.

Sub box almost done. One more coat of paint in the port. Final finish is currently uncertain at this time.

Box is almost built. After all displacements it will be 1.42 cubes tuned to 32Hz. Only picture I remembered to take. I will get more.

They dig pretty good to my ears. I hope to get Aaron back up to hear them.

I have a set in ported enclosures which Bill did listen to. Mine are tuned around 66-67 hz, I also have a set in my 4runner IB. Both applications sound very good. Also with a little top end eq the evil sounds very good full range to.

The Evil mids can already do decent midbass duty in IB. However, if they respond in a ported enclosure the same way the woofers for my Bravox CS603CF component set did then I would HIGHLY recommend it! Like the woofers in my component set the Evil mids are xmax limited. When I was testing mine I was able to move them into the realm of over excursion and heard the coil former lightly find the back plate on a few occasions. The ported enclosures are .5cuft and tuned to 65hz. They allow the Bravox woofers to play very solid down to around 45hz (thanks to the DSP and the crossover controls available within) making it so every drum beat, bass guitar riff, and anything else that falls within its frequency range is felt every bit as much as heard. We ran it without a subwoofer for nearly a year because it didn't really need one on most material that we played. I have plans to drop the Evils in the doors to see how they perform in that alignment but I've not been able to get around to that work just yet. I would still highly recommend at least building a quick temporary enclosure just to test them out and see how you/him like them in a ported enclosure.

Then we got busy.

Some goodies arrived this week.

4 mids and the NXV showed up today! Amps say Friday.

I'll get it started, even though it's a repoast:
