I know there is not a whole bunch of room , but what kind of systems do you guys have in your cars?

Most people put their amps in the frunk.... and you can easily fit 10" subs behind the seats.... probably even 12s. The thing is... you have an extremely small cab.... so you dont need much to make it loud. I have 2 - 6x9's behind my seats.... and some 4"ers up front and it is plenty loud for me. I'm not a big sound freak.... but I think it sounds very good.

I already have two 10's that I had in my Dakota truck. I also have a 600 watt Kenwood amp.

The box's are small so they could fit behind the seats in my reg cab truck. From the pictures I have seen I could fit them bothe behind each seat pretty easy, but then where would you put the t-tops?
Also thinking about putting my dynamat on the firewall. BUt it is heavy and I would be adding quite a bit of weight with the rest of it.
How loud is the engine in the car?

There is a guy that makes custom boxes that will fit 10's AND allow a spot for your t-tops. I can't remember his website though....... I have a sunroof and like I said... no much of an audio guy. Someone will chime in with it though.

this is the design I make... holds either 2 tens \ 2 eights \ 1 twelve...
unfortunately for those of you lucky enough to have the storage bin... it replaces it and sits snugly on the console... won't fall off, or slide around... I made a mold of the console and firewall to ensure it would fit like a glove.

another view

MR-355-5sfTe · 07-23-2005, 01:36 AM

but of course... this exact box was stolen not long ago. I've since redesigned it and produced a few more.... I'll post pictures soon.

Whoops. Looks like your pictures are red x's on my screen. Link most likely changed.

Do you have the demisions of the box? I have two box's that look identicle in shape and size, but came from a company called subzero. I would like to know if mine would fit untile I get the right ones so the t-tops will fit too.
THanks.

Oh wow. for some reason after my post your picture came up. Looks really nice. DO you know the volume of your box? It looks like a sealed unit if I am correct.
By the way the box's I said looked the same I was refering to the link above.

If you cant see the pictures and they show red X's (i know me and a few others had this problem) right click on the X and go to properties. Then just paste the link in your browser and you can see them.

I have a 95 and comes with the 2 woofers standars. I put a high end alpine unit with Kickers up front and Focals in the rear. I left the subs stock and so far they have handled very good. And the Power is awesome compared to the stock. And I didnt have to touch the factory amps.

MR-355-5sfTe · 08-17-2005, 10:29 PM

here's a shot of my latest design.... only one 8"... sounds good enough for me.

MR-355-5sfTe · 08-17-2005, 10:33 PM

I also rebuilt my shifter... I re-used the 355's shift plate\fork\knob... but I made a plate out of carbon fiber and coated it with a candy-red clear to match the sub box and door panels.
