Looks great!! I am hoping to set an amp box similar to yours. I was hoping you wouldn't mind sharing how you mounted the amps and the amp box up there. I'm kind of stumped on the whole mounting of the amps and box.

Thanks
Rob

Wolfe - Dont use tens, youll be disapointed and will eventually wish you would have bought the 12's

Darkhorse - Thanks, much appreciated.

doward - two 1000w legacy Amps will be hooked to each sub, The subs are Infinity Kappa Perfects 12.1 and eventually (when UPS gets off their ***) ill get my 1 farad cap

any help would be great

White91formula - I had not problems with a regular 12inch Diameter hole, it sat right in, i did however find that its MUCH MUCH deeper then a regular sub, the magnet is Ginormous. so you may have to fab an adapter plate to it, i ended up re-thinking my box design when it came and i built a new box. If you see any of my older posts of it you can see they are much different.

Kandied - As far as sound, and speed goes yes its starting to come alone, ever since i got a job ive been able to put money into it, rather then getting raped... So far ive fixed "most" of the bad rust spots. i bought a welder so im gonna shave the handles, since im gonan do that ill end up putting newer bushing on the doors... THe new tires and wheels are gonna do soon cause i love the Autodrags by centerline and i will eventually get them. However (and this is where im gonan get scolded) i havent washed the car since May.....i know Jeff, your car is gorgous, but my clear coat is coming off, and i dont see a need to wash it, i could care less what everyone else thinks about the car, im just trying to get done what NEEDS to be done, washing isnt a need

Doward - The perfects sound excellent. I think its the best subs you can ever buy, i love the tone and frequency. a great purchase imho

that's alright...i haven't washed mine since october.

i think what your doing is fine....personally i'd wait awhile down the road before i worried about shaved handles. i think you'll find at this point in time they are more hassle, especially if it isn't a show car right now.

keep up the good work, make sure you stop by at autorama this year.

you should talk with me as i'm sure i can get you a newer or at least a good condition door for very cheap if that's why your doing it. shaving them yourself would be a pain and most shops will charge you around 100 a door to do it right and then you need to paint.

however if you get another door you would need to paint as well so what does it matter right?

I love the look of shaved door handles but I've always been afraid that the lock pop remote battery, or soloniod would go bad, or the door would freeze shut in the winter. I'm sure in Dallas texas these things are rare to happen, well with the freeze, but it would be a bummer.

Nice box setup for the amp and subs! Nice subs! How do those amps do? Pretty clean? Ever compare them with any other amps? Not putting them down or anything, I mean.. I have the same brand and all in my car.

i like them just fine, i have never had a problem with Legacy, but then again they arent a name brand. Id still feel better with a good name brand but like always said before you pay for the name....
