February 10, 200916 yr i've always been a big fan of miatas. i have friends who are part of the local miata club and the mods were jsut awesome. they were more for performance like turbo kits, Nos kits, Cusco suspensions, etc. not so much on the sound system a they try to conserve as much space as they could.good luck with the build. i had a friend who went with kicks and the soundstage and imaging was top notch.
February 11, 200916 yr Author More pictures of the buildThe L6's are installedIf you look hard at the screws used you will notice they are snake-eyes security screwsSpeaker wire runs down the transmission hump Wire harness is soldered together The ground installed in the trunk is wired to the ground fuse link.The amp rack goes in and the wires are run.A pillars are getting some love, the heiroglyphics are low spots that need more epoxy to even things outThe pillars ready to be wrapped.The A pillars are wrapped in a really nice black vinyl
