Posted June 20, 201015 yr BIG install coming soon!....This is my first build out....the only experience i have with glass are with the 2 kick pods i have in there now and it was a learning one! They turned out great but i made the mistake of drilling a big hole through the back to port them...oooops! They made $800 dollar comps sound like a gramaphone....so I'm making new ones. Along with, 2 pods on rear of the headliner, 2 amp racks on the rear panels and 2 enclosures above the wheel well.

June 21, 201015 yr Great northwest? where?Oregonwelcome. im from portland/beaverton Nice! Beaverton is my home town, I live in Sisters now.Me too but I have to get out when the other one gets jealous .Nice runner and cant wait to see pictures, do you have any pics of the old pods and setup?
June 24, 201015 yr Author I am having a hell of a time with ordering my subs! I have already been taken for $300 trying to buy them from those crooks over at Dealer Cost Car Audio. Fuck those guys!! Then I tried amazon and they don't have anymore 4ohm models in stock. They have 2ohm, but that would be a 1 ohm load in parallel...i'm sure that amp could handle it but don't want to push it. What if they have dual 2 ohms in stock?? Could I run the 2 VC's in series on each sub, then parallel them together to get the amp to see 2 ohms?? My budget is $150/sub...needs to work in small enclosure and IMO, real solo-barics are the best for that.The pics you requested jay-cee...Those tweets sticking out of there are some cheap morels to temporarily replace my blown ones.The amp is getting trashed there!! It is not designed to go under a seat and is slowly going to shit. the leds don't light up anymore and the frequency potentiometer is going out along with the front left channel. Sux!
July 1, 201015 yr Author still waiting on the sub amp...Everything else has arrived! Starting the glass work today. I will post some more pics later...

July 6, 201015 yr Author Its been a busy 4th of july weekend...i still found time to party of course! All of the pics I took along the way didnt save, but here is close to the finished product...Amp racks and putting all the trim back on is all thats left!
July 6, 201015 yr Author it would be more trick if i wanted to sacrifice those rear compartments.....but the subs sound good firing toward the rear glass....they will sound better when i seal them tighter then a nuns pussy! I need to do the same with the pods, they are leaking through the tweets...think i have a plan tho.
