[Saxotim]

Jp4 cam covers paid for cheers Ross.

Sub box finished. My mate stood next to it for comparison



And iv got a massive hangover and 21sqft of sound deafening to fit >.< and the box and remoint both amps fml

[Saxotim]

New sub box in (2.something cuft tuned to 34hz), need to have a play with my amp now its in the new box but irst impreesions are the bass is much smoother and more linear, lost a bit of response but i was expecting that happy overall. not painted or owt yet as we will be building it into the boot in the next few weeks.

pitcher:

[Saxotim]

Bit of an update, had a tweak of the gain on my sub amp and changed some settings on HU, my ears now hurt sound deadened the boot using 2mm silentcoat improved bass dramatically.

And JP4 cam covers have arrived will be fitted this weekend along with more deadening

Hahaha! I do with my TD's let alone steels, theyre sat behind the shed anyway couldnt be bothered getting tyres on them

[CrouchyM]

My vts spins up like a bitch with steelies, if it's slightly wet I spin into 3rd.

[Saxotim]

spun mine up in the wet at 70 in 3rd, bald tyres suck, nearly pooed myself

[daveyh86]

All I can think is................. wish mine was white.

[Saxologist]

Love the sub box mate, looks similar to mine (yet to add pictures) I havent smoothed around the port, so the bass shakes everywhere.

Have to ask, where have you sound deadened?

Car looks clean man, thats the problem with having a white one, gets dirty so quick, good choice of fitting steelies for winter, wouldnt want to curb yours

Respect
