QUOTE(gothspeed @ Feb 14 2011, 09:01 PM)  Cool! How does it sound? Did you put a plastic speaker dish/enclosure behind it, to protect from the elements? Yeah sounds great! I'm running a Mcintosh MX406 Head unit, Alto UCS Pro, Two Mcintosh amplifiers. Those door speakers are Italian and I have Image dynamics Horns under the dash, and Infinity ribbon tweeters in the A pillars.. Sounds a lot when I list it like that!! There's something called a Skinz moisture guard behind the speaker to protect it from the elements... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Going into the door panels is no big deal to me, used door panels are way to easy to come by.
I put them in my firewall also, but i do have a few spares of those laying around too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

QUOTE(iamchappy @ Feb 15 2011, 08:37 PM) Wow, great idea! I'm desperate to find more space in my 914 for Sub-bass, I wanted to go behind the seats as you have but was scared of cutting the firewall.. I like your idea a lot, but I don't think that the volume in those bowls would be enough for what I'm after, I'd probably need a cubic foot or so.. My second thought was remove the fuel tank, put in a fuel cell instead of the spare wheel and build the sub cabinet from steel where the fuel tank sits.. |

I like that mixing bowl idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ............ there are a few subs that do not 'require' a large volume of cabinet to project deep bass. Nice job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)!!!!

These are 8" sealed encloser type Quart Subs, there is plenty of room for 10's.
Believe me you can hear and feel them just fine, anything more would be over kill kinda like my turbo engine. |

I bought some Infinity Kappas 4x6 for the stock location. They fit the holes but the hose behind the speakers gets in the way. Any ideas or suggestions.

flip them upside down and slightly push the corrogated hose out of the way. You can even crush it a little without restricting the heat too much.
