doing it that way do you have any issues with water dripping down on the speaker though? i like the facvt that the baffles have the edge on top to stop water from driping onto the back of the cone and onto the coil

I actually removed that foam protector and placed it on the mdf baffles I made

ripped all my equipment out of the old car and started putting it in the new one. ran both sets of rca's, the right side woofer and tweeter wires and the remote turn on to far.

started the amp rack also, it will house the rear battery behind the amps, the clarion amp will be angled above the hifonics amp which will be mounted vertically. not much room left in my trunk which is what i dont want but o well. i think music/bass is more important anyway.

edit also what is the best wood to make pannels that cover the amp with? ive used some weird 1/8" veneer i think on my old car but was wondering what some of you guys use?

I used 3/4'' MDF.. same as the box.

did a little more, got the amp rack roughed out and most of the wires ran. just need to wire everything up install my isolator and headunit and then make a trim panel and its done.

got the tweeter pods glassed, kind of rough still only rasped the first layer of bondo still need to sand and fill in the low areas.

any suggestions on what color i sh ould paint them?

everything is abssicially installed now just need to finish the tweeter pods. the wiring will be fixed just ran them to make sure everything worked and i wanted to listen to it. dont have the rear batt hooked up to the front so only hearing at 11.5v or so but its louder then my old rear firing setup i think.

heres a short vid, camera didnt really catch anything kinda dark but gives you guys an idea.

anyone in the philly area with a TL can you pm me or say somethign here trying to see what numbers it hits once done.

Looks good, but hopefully you are going to clean up that rats nest you have going on in the trunk.

I really like those fiberglass tweeter pods. I have my tweeters mounted to the A-pillers, but I would like to do something like that with mine.
