lol at "stock"

But, from personal experence, I would suggest the molded sail for the tweeters. Ive surface mounted several there with my speakers in my stock opening and it worked out great. I would do my current ones there, but their a lil big //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Plus, my mids are going to be in my kick panels.

Where is that body plug you mention? I think im going to run my wire under the car like you did, makes for a much easier run.

Yeah I think I will do it in the sail... if I do it right you wont even know they are there unless you really look.

That body plug is on the passenger side of the trunk. Just pull back the carpet and you will see it there.

Yes it will, im currently running Flowmaster 40 series, but I waited to get the marauder tips because my back end was a little low, and I didnt want to take the chance to scrape them. A spring spacer in each spring in the back has taken care of that for me.

And I found the plug, that works perfect for me. I was going to put my batteries there (Deka G31) one on each side and its a plug on each side so wiring shoud be a peice of cake. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

And I feel you on the tint, this the only car I have not had tinted. I like the clean look without the tint, but I love my privacy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My air suspension keeps my ride height perfect //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah I pulled back the carpet the first time and thought "now aint that perfect" as that is where my battery is lol. I then run from there up the fender, in behind the spare tire, over to the amps.

Nice. I kinda wish my was silver or grey but its maroon.

I want to get some 17's or maybe 18's. Not a fan of the really big wheels. But definitly want something bigger and wider then what I have. I like the marauder rims.

I almost bought the baby blue 2008 model... then found this 2007 model for $10,000 less lol.

I would love the dark grey with the dark grey intererior... my interior is weird it has the dark grey dash and the rest beige...

I intend to in the very near future, the spacers were a "temp" solution

I love that color on your car, I would leave it be. I hate the silver on mine, I get called a "detective" all the time by my friends lol.

Marauder rims with the tips and that color would look very nice together, and Im a huge fan of black interiors. Im redoing mine and painting the car as soon as the audio is finished.

More Pic's!

These are of the battery mount. Sorry I didn't take more.

Speedy nuts in the trunk for mounting battery

I searched far and wide (drove around for a couple hours to auto parts stores) looking for a battery holder and got frustrated... so I made this (with trusty Mr. Ryobi again...)

Then a trip to the hardware store to get some flat bar, ready rod, wing nuts, and those wood nuts (the ones you hammer in from the oposite site that have the big teeth that go into the wood). Threaded rod into those nuts, then battery and vaccum tube, flat bar ontop and put on the wing nuts. Then a couple bolts through the wood into the speedi nuts that are in the trunk and you have...

That one possitive wire there was too short so I had to run it like that... I bought some more wire and plan to run it through the fender (behind the carpet) like the rest.

And there you have it... battery mounted. I have still to put some dielectric compound on that flat bar as it is a tad close to the battery terminals for my likeing.

Really busy at work today so that's all for today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
