God Dam its cold out today.... and now its snowing. However I am done for the day. Not going to bother actualy running the power and signal cables till closer to Friday as thats when my radio goes in, though the cap and sub amp are on the back of the box tucked away.

box fit and subs in

Better shot of subs

clearence with the little privacy curtain for the hatch area

What I let you see from outside.

Looks good man. The port area looks, maybe, a bit small though.

looks really nice, plan on carpeting or what?

 

[DarkFox 10+ year member]

yeah the port area is a little small but if I increase port area, i also get more port dispalcement leaving either a smaller box which is effectively defeating the added port area or am forced to make the box bigger alltogether which really wasnt a option cause I still need some storage space back there. It was the best I can do in the given area. I generaly like to do about 2.5 to 3.5 cubic feet per 12" L7 with about 30^2in of port area each. This box does not fit either of those, but was only choice. Should be fine, just a bit boomy, more output but similar slope to a sealed box of equal size.

Yea, you gotta do the best with what you have to work with. Build is coming along nicely.

I like the privacy thing. I hate people lookin in when I dont want em to lol

 

[jdc753 10+ year member]

Looks pretty good there. Honestly I wonder how well that privacy cover will stay latched while those subs are going to town.

Patiently awaiting further install pics and maybe some vids of those blowing that cover all over the place lol.

 

[DarkFox 10+ year member]

lol... I wonder that myself. I dont think it will blow it loose unless it breaks the locking mechanism on the side closer to the seats. It is spring loaded into a recess on both sides there. As for the back side, you have to pull it farther open then it slides into slots in the panels and locks itself about a inch and 1/2 forward of its entry point.

So I posted in the wiring and instalation forum about a week ago to try and figure out how to get my radio out, and no one had done one before but had been given some advice, that is should just pull out with a tool. I decided to pull at it with just my fingernails today to see how resilient it was and POP. I though I broke a tab at first then realized the only thing being held in was the bottom left by just a little bit of material.... pulled at it to see if i could size up the damage and the whole thing pulled out. NOTHING BROKEN! yay! Bottom line, 08 Impreza = easy mode HU install
