custom install in eclipse *pics*

well my friend has a 96 eclipse and he just traded 2 12" l7s for a 12" type-R because of the weight diff. and were making a custom enclosure. around 1 cube sealed.

the bad boy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif will be powered by a JL 500.1, but the ups guy didnt deliver 2day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

after him workin on it last night.

20 min later, were making a custom neon sign on the bottom of the box with "eclipse" in blue and above each end of that 2 "R's" in red neon with plexiglass.

possibly the most difficult way to cut a circle is upside down. but he gets the job done right.

side shot of box, fits right up against the back of the seat.

front of box after hole cut out.

pic before i left for the night, we had to extend the sub out 3/4" more just to make the magnet fit.

that takes care of 2nite, possibly more pics 2mrw but for sure more thurs.

just fyi, from what ive heard on the forum, and my own expierecnes with the R's

they sound like poop in sealed boxes. so put some kind of port on that.

and btw, fiberglass would have been much eaiser //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

but good work so far.
