02 wrx wagon stereo project

[destined2race 10+ year member]

Well figure id post some pics since i got my template finished off last night. After a few phases it made it to the ending point (unless i upgrade to an L7, bigger cap, and a 5 channel). Sounds good, looks decent, and didnt pay barely anything for it all. (my stereo info is at the bottom of my posts). THanks let me know

Oh and under the wrx letters is fogged plexi with a blue lightning neon under it. There is also a 15 blue neon in front of the amp window. Looks good at night.

Big thanks to jeff at AMS in Madison for finishing the template for me.... He also hooked up a relay for the tubes, and made a solid foundation for the box underneath.

haha yeah thats my rear strut tower brace. Nice pink "STI" ends...

Thanks guys, it sounds pretty good for having a smalled sealed box(is stuffed with polyfill tho), underpowered amp, and a stock HU. WOuld like to get a DD dvd screen, and upragde to a 12 or 15 L7. Hits the lows pretty well and is decently loud (obviously built more for SQ tho)

ANd yeah im gonna ditch the capacitor, now i just gotta find one that will fit good in that spot or if i get a 5 channel then ill just hide a new one underneath the template.
