HMMM...I'll have to look at the seat. I'm going to have to make something special! That would be a good spot!

I just caulk'd my box. HAHAHA He said caulk. I like white caulk the most...

I will screw/glue on the top of the box tomorrow. Hopefully FedEx is a day early and I get my Sub tomorrow too. But I'll be busy installing my amp tomorrow!

MY TRUNK LID RATTLES LIKE CRAZY!!!! I'm liking this system. My friend's dad said the whole nieghborhood could hear it. And I believe him! I still need to carpet the box, but everything is placed in the trunk and working. I still need to fool around with the amp/headunit settings. I saw these punk-a@@ kids fighting, smoking, and yelling at the gas station tonight, so I cranked up my sub and drove off. HAHAHAHA I'm so happy right now!

Took me about 6-7 hours from start to finish. I like to do eveything perfect and I'm kind of slow...no not retarded...But it was worth it because it does hit hard. My trunk lid makes a lot of noise.

Thanks. I know where the rattling is comming from. The trunk lid right where the maxima leteers would be. When the bass hits the whole piece of metal goes in and out. And there are many other noises.

I'm very happy with it. The only problem is that my stomach hurts spend spending that kinda of money. I don't think I would change anything. It set everything up pretty well I think. The Atlas 15 will be very nice for you.

I left the coil open. Say if I did close it how would it sound?

how tall is that box... 16"? also whats it tuned to again?
The box is 16" tall and 38" wide. What do you mean tuned to? I was fooling around with the amp settings but didn't really know what I was supposed to be looking for. Help me tune it...

yeah I'm a lil surprised myself...you guys are young and to have a properly designed ported setup with a solid sub at such a young age with no feedback is downright odd. i was running pioneer 10's in a crappy prefab with 250 watts when i was about 17.

No I love it! It really does bump! But the trunk lid is really making me mad. I'll try to get a good video, I took some, but they suck. I'm wondering if my amp settings are alright. Everytime I play music in my driveway my mom comes out yelling at me.

Nice amp box on the table behind the sub box.

I screwed up cutting the carpet. I should of just wrapped it around the box to begin with.

I put sound dampening material all over my trunk lid. A couple layers of it and it works pretty well...

Yea, I gotta do something about that exposed port...Spray paint sounds good!

I'm sorry I didn't see your post until now. The previous owner painted the car black from maroon. It looks terrible!

Ok, thanks I'll send you an e-mail.
