    Let me see your trunks!

    Very crafty i must say... And acoustically the octibox would sound a little better than a typical square or rectangle... Its very nice that you can hide everything under the carpet. Unfortunately my subs are much too large to fit in that small of a box. They are far too deep. I will be...

    Crutchfield says that this CD changer wont work in the supra with the stock head unit

    It works. I have the same cd changer at our store. I have installed them in many cars! Not the greatest units in the world, but thats what you get with a universal cd changer. It plays through the FM on your radio via fm modulator, You have to plug it into the antenna plug on the back of your...

    ohms. can i change them??

    Thats completely wrong. Your amp does more than just run hot when you run it at too low an impedance. You will risk blowing the amp if you choose to do this...

    ohms. can i change them??

    Best bet is to just save up for a monoblock... You cant run a single 4ohm load with your subs. :(

    Need help with 1.5jz build

    Damn man... You work way too fast! Im still in the process of trying to find a good block for cheap! Got any ideas? I have all this money to blow, but nothing to spend it on untill the block is in hand.... Must post videos!

    Let me see your trunks!

    6x9's suck. Period. Unless your a baller rolling on 24's in your jacked up caprice, 6x9's sound terrible! If you ever have the option to use a round cone, do it. There are reasons the best speakers in the world are 6.5-7" components, and not 6x9's. I would afb up some nice MDF adapters and throw...

    whats your Db? how loud is your ride?

    RMS or max? Im assuming max... To get 1300 watts RMS your paying a very pretty penny. And i doubt just changing a few caps and resistors, and re coiling it would get you to 1300 wrms from that amp. I bought a kicker about 2 yrs ago and it was rated to be 750w, it was rated at 948... It was an...

    whats your Db? how loud is your ride?

    Yes i bet it could be done. In fact with the surface area you have with your 4 subs, you should be able to pull it off. Just a little better staging, sound deadening, and box design i bet could get you there. But there are limits to the shallow mount subs, one major one is excursion. The move...

    Massive components mounted

    Thanks for the props! I plan for my next project to build something a little like what you have, a slightly raised flase floor in the back, but ill be getting my RE SE 12's as flush as possible. I dont want them sticking up at all. It going to be tough because of how deep they are, but i feel...

    Let me see your trunks!

    Looks like all show and no go. But i personally have no experience or know anyone with experience using it... I personally would use something different.

    hd radio

    I dont own one, but i have installed a few. IMHO, its great, but its not very popular. It really is HD compared to standard FM AND satellite. The sound quality is great, but as i mentioned its rare in most areas. For instance here in Huntsville there are only 2 HD stations, and they are sucky...

    Massive components mounted

    Yes the RE XXX 6.5's. If you look in my build thread on carforums, you can see the bracket i had to build to make them fit... The JUST BARELY clear the windows... I mean barely. There is just millimeters of clearance. If the window is down and you shut the door, the glass smacks the back of the...

    whats your Db? how loud is your ride?

    150 from 2 MT's isnt hard to accomplish... You just have to realize that they are power monsters! For one thing i can promise you the stock alternator will take a crap with that kind of power draw if you use a big amp like 2 MT's would need. Secondly, as stevey stated, youll need a huge box...
