It looks like the box will stick out further than the trunk opening which will make the paneling a PTA

Haven't had an update in a while, money is a horrible constraint lol. Picked these up at a hell of a price so this is my next update. Not really audio, but part of the car =). BTW this is my first time ever doing upholstery work, I am pretty **** proud of my self how they came out. A few loose spots/wrinkles but they will come out quick in the Florida heat.

Stopped for while but now I am back at it again lol... The past two days I manged to get my CD1Pro Mini Horns installed. I am extremely pleased with how well they came out. Very proud of my self lol because these things can be a pain to install. The horns have gotten scratched up, eventually I will sand them down and repaint them.

Drivers Side

Passenger Side

how do the horns sound and what kinda power are they getting? what fq range do they play too? kinda wanna try a pair out one of these days, never messed with those ID horns.

Awesome setup! Really diggin' the box and is coming out sick!

Some people still hating because it isn't their way, imagine that.

Awesome car! Is it a true RT or just making it your own style? Wasnt sure due to the changing of the seats and thought the back looked different, no matter, looks sick!

Horns sound awesome running passive. Just as smooth as my tweeters really at normal volumes, and just stupid at high volumes. These can play into the 1200 range I believe with lower power.

Nah it's just an SE. Couldn't get approved for the R/T =(.

Alright had problems with my sound was coming from the right, was told to move the horn out more. Here is what I started with.. (Use the motor distance from the parking brake for reference)

Removed the hood release lever (still there just tucked away) Could you ever guess there is a full out remote start/alarm with several interfaces tucked up in there? =D

Underdash shot for the guys at Image Dynamics that wanted to see..

There is a piece that is sopposed to go under the dash to block it off, but I took that off and it is mounted using two push pins. For now I used to the push pin as one of my mounts. When I get more time I will drill a hole and use a bolt/nut.

How far over I was able to move it, almost resting on the parking brake.

About the best I can do... I am not moving the parking brake or bending it.

Still trying to come up with something for the passenger side...

On a different note.. these arrived at the shop today for me =D

I thought this was going to be a drop in install, 10-20 minutes at most. Not.. 6x9s did not fit the stock 6x9 holders. I had to cut out the top piece that was went for blocking water I assume. Looked for the dremel, no where to be founded, soldering iron was my next choice, but then the cutting tip for that was missing. Next choice: hand held hacksaw. It ****** using this thing but it got the job done.

Next step is to finish my box, mount my amp and crossovers. (Staying passive for now). Still need to remount the passenger side horn and work on the mounts to perfection on them. Then I will sand down the horns, repaint them and clean everything up.

Looks real good. Im actually getting ready to start the same box concept for my wifes 300 but its gonna be ported to the front also. Love the Challengers, there good looking cars.

 

[the727kid 10+ year member]

I thought about doing ported, but I have never done sealed and I think it should get decently loud still, while sounding excellent.
