good luck with all that mid-bass up your wazoo... it can hurt (wazoos are sensitive)

I have been using lead buck shot in my mass additions... I am going to use tongue depressors in my current build as well

Today was a bit of a planning and measuring day. I mocked up my kick panels and did a little measuring for my amp racks.

hmmm your amp rack looks suspiciously like a floor board

ya know a little plexi, a little neon or LED and they would make quite a good lookin floorboard too!

word to the wise ensure your seat retains full range of motion (my wife couldn't reach the pedals) and I failed State inspection because of it so I had to remove my 8" mid-bass drivers to pass inspection every year

No problems there. I've already check the seat. It gets higher as is moves forward.

And you are correct about the plexi and lighting.

John are you going put them face to face or as you have them right now? Can you get at the controls on the one closer to the pedals with the wire in front of it? I know you are using the 701 for everything. Just wanted to mention that.

when you did your listening tests did you listen with the visors flipped up and down......in my neon it made a huge difference in the sound so did tripple thick ceiling liner......your build inspired me to look back at my build pics.....fack that car took a looong time to build
