Dave have you thought of any ideas to protect the subwoofers to maximize points for "Speakers properly protected"? An easily removeable fine mesh basket that covered all three subwoofer baskets should suffice without hampering sound.
I think I remember James commenting about his own install. Something about still being able to touch the rear surface of the cone from underneath.
"Speakers Properly Protected (0 - 5)- All speakers in passenger areas of the vehicle must be properly protected from damage during the normal use of the vehicle. If a judge can touch the cone or surround of a speaker with his the blunt end of a ball point pen then that speaker it may considered only partially protected. No grill will be considered zero points. Such protection may include, but is not limited to, an expanded mesh grill, waffle grills and so on.
However.....
Speakers located in a trunk or hatch area (in vehicles with no rear seat, the area behind the “B” pillar will be considered hatch area) must be protected from damage. All speakers in theses areas should have grills with no more than 2 inched gap at any one point. Inverted dub woofers will be considered properly protected. "
Kind of something I was wondering for myself but after looking at your install it may affect you as well.
Just an idea to take into consideration if you haven't already. I expect to see you top 3 at Worlds [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img] but won't be surprised at all if you make top dog [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img] . The install is looking awesome and I can't wait to take a peek and more importantly have a listen when I'm down your way in August or perhaps sooner.

like mickey brones' eclpise, the woofers are considered protected, this same theory covers infinite baffle woofers applications as well, i asked myself the same qusestion before doing it and got confirmation just to be sure
i make no predictions on this car, i built as good and as thought out as i could, with help obviously, and if it good enough for 3rd, 3rd in the world in a really tough class is alright with me

we have done alot to keep the trunk sealed, a 10'x12' piece of black foam in the channels on either side of the trunk that go up into the back window area, lots of mdf peices glued in and sealed with pl400, body seam sealer in all of the cracks and about 50 sqare feet of scosche hylerflex to cover eveything else
the suede does look funny in the pics [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] but look good in person
