    I have a 97 Supra that is my project. I plan to enter shows and hopefully magazines with it. I have a custom box that car audio mags want to set up a shoot when its done. I hope to learn from other threads and pics.

    The guy who made the box sent teaser pics to magazines to show his work. They said when it is finished, to let them know so they can set up a shoot. Here is a pic

    The holes on the side are where the amps go. I need to find some mounting brackets to hold the amp in place since the area is not flat. I need ideas. The car will be painted in January along with the box. Thanks for the welcome

    Looks very nice! Creative way to mount some subs! Curious, what was used for the subwoofer mount? The plastic looking "things" LOL!!! Is it PVC, steel, fibreglassed cardboard tubes?????

    The car is BPU and dyno'd 375hp at only 16psi. I am now pushing 18-20psi which puts me around the 400hp level. I know it sounds kinda low for a supra but 20-22psi and your pushing the stock twins.

    As for what I'm looking for, something clean. I dont need a bass machine. I want it clear and loud. The car has 12 speakers in it. I may need someone in the San Diego area to hook it all up. Any referrals for someone who does top notch work.

    Thanks for the welcomes

    kinda low???nah not at all,but a kid came to me one day with a 87 and wanted a twin turbo setup so i installed a custom header with the 2 gx353 turbo from turbonetics with a sparco fmic and a turbo x bov and had a cfm of 170 and then we put it on the dyno got about 440hp then we did some tweaking upgraded the injectors to 50lbs and added a fuel pressure regulator from TRD and after all the fine adjustments we had it at 502hp at 5000rpm's and 467ft lbs of torque running 37lbs of boost so i was very pleased and the customer was so excited and the total job was 4995 dollars and he said it was worth every penny
