didnt like how i had the door handles so ive mounted the standerd door handle surrounds looks alot better doesnt look like ive jsut cut a hole in a bit of wood like it looked befor.

but do i keep it black or do i spray it red and keep the handle black?

[Tontsy]

new owner, make it louder?
i couldnt see anyone pulling it appart and sticking bigger woofers in there tbh! not once they just spent how ever many grand on buying the thing!

you'll get a tidy ammount for it id assume!

and spray the surround of he handle red
the pods, in red look sweeet!

true i wanna try some 15s in the saxo bord of the tunnel alot of people where confussed on the weekend and didnt have a clue where the bass was coming from lol 4 15s would be less cone area but i could have more port area to make up for that

well went ists for the weekend and didnt manage to finish the car in time the box, doors, front bumper, grill and wheels where flexing like crazy so ive got some more box bracing todo other than that install wise its done just a few little fancy bits todo still got about £500 more left to spend wish i didnt but want the car completly finsihed to how i want it

placed up the front arch and side skirt yerterday really think im going to have to fork out for some coilovers back of the side skirt is held up with a match box front is a roll of tape lol

yeah mate changing the colour around as at ists noone could see inside the tunnel so hopfuly this should make it abit easy to see inside

i was very bord that day haha least it matches the car now lol

[liam_b]

Update: have been strengthening the box. over the last two years some of the panels had loosened up (box is screwed together not glued to keep it removable) so have been over the hole box to tighten everythink up added more screws and some more 2x3 on the outside of the box plus i have put glue on the corners and sealed up all the holes from the old wall.
Went over the box with the grinder to get rid of screw tips then got the sander out and got rid of the corners on the 2x3 and smoothed off all sides of the box its alot smoother and stronger now so hoping to brake the 152 in pd and 150 in db drag.

Someone was saying the otherday i should change my steering wheel but funds are low so if i get a saxo steering wheel and a broke gt5 12" for free/cheap il flush the cone into the streering wheel will only be for show use as i can see it being a pain in the arse to drive with but i like it lol

Hey Liam, just been going through your thread... I was looking at the Genesis amps and wanted to know if yours were Profile 4 or Profile 4 Ultra's?

Im looking at getting a new amp but its gonna be the only one in the car, so Ideally need something like 2 x 100 watts + 1 x 2/300...

I wanna run 1 pair of comps 17cm and 1 x 10" sub, something like a JL for an SQ install.

Know anyone who is selling anything like that?

Finished door card looks really good! you finished the other side yet?

mine are just profile 4's cant remember wat power thay are but think its somint like 4x50rms@4ohm 4x70rms@2ohm 2x150rms 4ohm. the ultras are better power but they are bigger too

tbh not really look at for for sales for a while best bet is ta i think the was an altra on ther for about £150 not long ago and ebay there ur 2 best bets

[saxo_furio_23]

Haha at the steering wheel, truly amazing build. Hats off to you.

[Tontsy]

liaaaaam! that wheel could end up looking something fucking epic!

im going to be a knob now, what is the side of your front plate on your box? im looking at making a wall.
and from a quic 2 mins with a tapemeasure i was looking at 4 x 15" and ideally HCCA but not too sure if the box will fit!

was looking at 41" width, 26" deep 35" height! but im thinking i would have to remove the headliner and sunroof slider rails? to hit that kind of height? i dont want to go under 16cuft really! but ive worked out roughly 18 internally! on those sizes! if i double up the walls and and baffles!

[saxytom]
