Thats as far as i got, il get a few more pics of it in my car when it stops raining.

Also my other ideas is, to just wrap the rest of the false floor in fake black suade along with my roof cover and plastic panles in the rear. and then just spray this gloss black when i paint my car.

Looks pretty cool..

Make it smooth and match the exterior (assuming the carpets black too).. so when its popped, and people actually see it, it looks good.. and the subs and amp sort of blend in.

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
That looks sweet! I bet it's heavy though. >wink.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...

Yeah its def 50 more lbs then my other one. But i figure until i do an engine swap or somthign it dosnt make a dif how slow my car is. Im kinda questioning it, cause i can def notice a dif with just the orig box and subs out. We'll see.

good job !! keep up the good work

Won't this kinda stop you from using a rear strut brace? Apart from that it looks really sick though.. Almost like I always dreamt about having in my car.

Turning everything around would enable you to use a strut brace.. having the subs point into the car, instead of out. And the amp in the middle (right under the strut brace). It might not look as cool as your setup, but would be more practical I guess.
That looks amazing.... cna't wait to see it when it's done

Thanks JERK.. Completley forgot about the strut brace.. >rolleyes.gif> .. Ho-well.. Also you want the subs to reflect off the back window for the best sound. I have tried 5 dif sub boxs and designs, and got the best sound from facing the window.

EDIT: Also new pics with it in my car.

Hmm.. Jerk? Me? Noooo.. You can't be serious >smile.gif> But from the way you said (wrote) that it kinda sounded like Mr obvious or something.. I'm guessing you are not gonna get a rear strut brace then.

Anyway, it looks really nice though, and it's probably not something everyone can pull off.. I know I would have to get a shop do it atleast.

Thats true, Id love a fast celi, but its much more money, which i dont have. Also I love building stuff and working with my hands.
I've never driven a fast celi, so I guess I'm good for all show right now
