OK this might not look like much of a start but it was about 4 hours worth of work. That rear deck is tougher to cut that you might think (16 gauge steel). First off I ordered 2 Image Dynamics 10" ID woofers. I liked these due to the magnet design, they are fairly priced and they don't take major power to drive them (Although I have enough power for 2 IDMAX lol (thats another story)
I ordered a Mmphis Big Belle 13-Mch-1600 to run the 2x10" in the rear deck and the 2x8" in the front doors (amp will be pushing 230x2 bridged for the 8s and 600x1 for the subs - I will have the sub amp gain to less than 1/4 turn I am sure for the sub channel).
We started with a design in the carpeted trim piece back there, and then started on the baffle board (this one will not be used. The real one will be done today, its 1" thick, and it is much larger covering nearly the entire rear deck). We then positioned the subs where I wanted them, and drew the holes into the deck area - bad part is the holes overlapped each other so sealing it will be a pain but we will get it done. Next was fun... Removing the seat belt from the center, and then cutting with a 90 degree with a cut off wheel. We test fit the sub to be sure the look is what I wanted, and I think its what I wanted.
Next we will have to:
1. Make the 1" piece much larger to nearly cover the entire deck.
1a. Cut out the rest of the seat belt holder in the trunk area (**** that thing is thick!)
2. DYNAMAT The F out of the rear deck, inside and trunk side.
3. Cut the holes in the mat for the 10s.
4. Use spray foam and silicone to fill and seal and BOLTS to secure the baffle to the deck.
5. Make the trim cover using the stock piece so the woofers will be seen in the rear deck, and make a new trim cover for the underside of the rear deck, possibly using the stock trim piece.
I didn't do any of the work, but its my idea... If anyone has positive input or how to's, or suggestions I would gladly listen. If you want to flame, just simply go to another post instead!
