Custom speaker box
Well at the time of typing it i was pissed off so i typed it all pissy. I really do not care what all you type on here because in the end i am going to do what i like. But i will take whatever you say into consideration. The five tweeters in the front is a little too much. I knew that when i put them in. But i turned them down since i furst put them in, so they are not that loud. But with five of them in there it makes the sound increadable. And i know i am not going to blow them out or mess them up. Each one isn't even running at half power so they will last much longer. The whole thing for the 8'' sub in the middle was mostly for looks and bragging rights. But over all, everything i do to my car is my hobby. I try new things and find out some of them are stupid. But i also found out that some were very good ideas. My friend put a box in the area his T-tops were suppose to go. He doesn't like it now because he has to leave them at home or put them in the back seat. Plus whoever drives by can see mine and not his. He has 2 12'' in the back of his car and he spent over $750 on his, and ours sound somewhat alike. Mine is louder then his, but his puts out about the same bass as mine. But with mine you can hear the words and feel the bass a ways away from the car. But there is still a problem i have. Where to put the amp. I am taking that box that i made for the 8'' out so now i have no place to put the amp. I have been looking for a place but i haven't found a good place to put it. And every place i have thought about putting it has been ruled out by someone or myself.

our cars have very little space for anything... so if you used all your space, then i would suggest putting the amp, cap, etc in the inner wheel well where your spare tire and jack would be (if dont need it...) i think both sides have a little space....and put a small electric fan near it to keep it cool. thats all i can think of now...

Yeah they do have very little room. I though about putting it there because on the right side of my car there is a space for the spare tire and jack. But on the left there is an empty space because the T-tops takes up all the other trunk space i have. I thought about putting it there but then the whole keeping it cool factor came into play. I am still desiding on it right now. But it can sit in the back seat for a few more days until i have time for it. Lol....

Yeah i know that if people see it then they will want to see it. That is why when i leave my car somewhere, i have a cover that i put over it. And it matches my car very well also. But yeah i thought about putting a box where my T-tops are suppose to go, and i thought it would be pretty cool to put 3 12's there also. So i can have 6 12's. Lol. I have a great paying job now so i can put some 550 Audiobauns (SP?) in there. Now wouldn't that hit nice. And i took the adivce ya'll gave me and put my amp over by the spare tire and went to the flea market and got a computer fan for it. Only cost me like $5, how awesome is that.

i have audiobahn speakers and must say that i love how my system sounds. but it could have more. The next subs i buy will be JL 12W3v2's because im more for SQ then SPL and the w3 get loud and sound nice.
if you have a good paying job i do suggest using a good brand amp and not a cheapo claims 3000watts and cost $200. ya know what i mean
