Re:

can easily fit 3 x 10" subs under the hood area in the boot, dvc's would be better, can have it sealed or ported, amps on the sides of the boot area to keep some of your boot. dyna-mat as much of your boot as possible, boot lid, rear panel, inner wings, should help keep it solid... :mad:

m/sports or lenso's???

as you can see, i did have genuine motorsports wheels on, but i bent one on the inside rear, due to the camber of the wheel going down a pothole. so now it's fitted with lenso project 'D' 17's. certainly makes the car look different.....but a small doubt is in my grey matter.....does it look right??...

Re: my door build

i was kinda governed by the depth of the speaker,as well as trying to 'tune' the door pods.smaller enclosures on the back doors and larger enclosures on the front. this was a first time try, and already have something else in mind to replace them with.

i did use loctite spray glue,but it's since started to come away from the fibreglass,you could try a contact adhesive,as it's rubberized and shouldn't 'sweat' in the summer.

Re: my door build

they're right 'in ya face'.....and the quality from the rainbow speakers is wicked.i sealed them on the back so no sound fires into the doors.cos they're sealed, they're nice and punchy.took loads of blood, sweat and tears from the fibreglass resin.

also.....yes,run the signal cables the opposite side to the power cables to stop interference,run the amp remote wire with the power cable,as that is also a signal wire.earth point can be anywhere,either drill a new hole or go in on an existing hole,but make sure to sand down the area for a good ear...

hi,running your power cable through the grommet is ok,you might struggle a bit with 0-gauge or bigger,but anything smaller will be ok.cut a hole in the grommet,use some lube,such as silicon spray or even washing up liquid to make the cable slide through.then it.s bottom of the dash out to find it,wh...
