Here's a few more pics of the system as it stands now. I bought some q-forms and replaced the kicks that I built. The carbon fiber Dayton's were a bad choice so I replaced them with a pair of Eminence sealed back midrange. They are a bit bright and need some burn in but wow what a difference. I added about 2 lbs. of non hardening modeling clay to the back of each one as well a layer of sound deadening.

I've also taken the subs out of the front doors and put in a 10" midbass from SB Acoustics. Right now they are on deck power and are crossed at 500 hz with a 12db slope. Great little midbass. I need to get some better photos but here is a shot of the door.

As you can see I have also gotten a tablet as a media/storage player. (11" Kindle Fire) Here is a few deck settings for those that are curious

I got some new seat covers as well. They had a lot of stains and it was driving me crazy.

I still need to replace the carpet. I want to put the 10" subs in the cut carpet area. They will vent directly into the frame rail. I also started building a glove box sub so here are a few photos of that...

Notice the seams for the midbass enclosure dont match the doors. Yeah, were going to fix that.

I have a couple of new 18" subwoofers from incriminator Audio coming in a few weeks so that is exciting

So, yeah. Here's some new ****...yo I’m pretty much only on instagram now with the build updates so I’m sorry for the late reply. Thank you audiobaun.
I've had the weekends off for the last month so I've had a blast working on the car. I'm midway through two projects right now. The first is the glove box subwoofer and the second is the 2 15" midbass. I’ve tried to build the latter a couple times but I didn’t like the way it came out. Let's get started..
I started out using an sonotube and wanted to attach a baffle to it but it was going to need a ton of materials to make it work so I decided to do a stack fab instead. Shits expensive either way.

It’s around 2 cu. ft.+ and has around 3 lbs. of polyfill along with egg crate foam and deadener in the following photos.

The green is floral foam from a previous fabrication. I came to this idea in the moment for the enclosure so I was just innovating as I went. I spent some time making templates to match the contours of the car using some mdf and soft pine. Hodgepodge, but it is a cover panel for the enclosure and will be covered in fabric so no biggie.

That’s where I’m at right now. I’m going to spend the weekend molding it to the panels and getting it trimmed out. There will be an armrest that extends from the front of the enclosure and a brace that extends from the sub baffle to the midbass enclosure That will be next.

The enclosure is small but it will be on low power(80 watts) and will be playing from~60-300HZ. It should add some great midbass to the system.
