[QUOTE="chefzane, post: 8105432, member: 654412"] Sounds good to me will that effect anything soundwise with it firing right at the back seat? The seat itself has no hard internals that I know of, maybe a frame, stiff foam and padding with the cover over it held by the cinched cable around the backside (OEM SEAT). Thank you on the wood work. Its all getting covered with the same color as the rear deck prolly with a thin layer of foam underneath for texture other than hard wood like the rear deck is. The sub box and eight box is built into the car and can't be moved neither can the rear deck panel. Well they can but it would **** as everything is screwed, glued, caulked, foamed, and sawdust wood puttied into place. I can however cut the holes in the back for the new sub face while its installed and just put another layer over the existing sub face and just use it as internal bracing? Then use the mdf rings in between top of bezel and baffle to ensure space between seat and cone OR on bottom side of bezel as it is now and bolt this way: Baffle bezel mdf with a bolt going thru all so that the flange is sandwiched and doesn't get marred up from bolts and nuts rubbing it? Plan on getting another head unit soon but why not run a DSP if I plan on continuing to compete and decide to upgrade later I will already be a step ahead right? And plus I thought the processing capabilities of most reasonably priced(under300) HU is limited and a mini-dsp plus a $200 deck is less than the high end deck alone that has the same or less capabilities right? I dunno for sure just seems that way to me. [/QUOTE]
