    which way will they be pointing? up or towards the front?

    maybe you can mount them pointing down from under the dash if there is no room for them anywhere else.

    i still think a super simple kick for them can work. just a front panel. no back and screwed down in place to seal the sides and back.

    use a piece of cardboard as a template and wedge t in the corner of each foot well. 1/2 in ply or mdf will do. with a grill of corse.

    i cant get a kick like that in there. my floor is angled wierd so it wont work. can i make a LITTLE box just big enough to hol the speaker and place it where i can? is a
    irspace a big deal with mids?

    also, is 20 feet enough to go from the front to the rear of my car?

    lastly, this is a fuse holder sufficient for my application of the three amps right?

    Judging by the specs the 23 looks like the one you need. (thats the one you linked too i think) its interchangeable so it should be good, but your running three amps right?

    To be honest it should be more than plenty, its the coupe right? besides you cant have too much ive found, the spare stuff you cut off comes in handy later too! take a tape mesure to the car if you need or look up the bumper to bumper specs. ( i usually look the specs up then add 3-5 feet depending on how many drops and raises)

    somebody is forgetting on what size fuses to put???? Add up your fuses in the amps and that's the size fuses you'll need for the distribution block

    Lastnight I pulled everything out of the trunk because it is getting to about -20 with the wind and all right now. I am startin to get everything going now. I will buy the amp as soon as i get the money. It will be sometime after Christmas. Sorry G3, I will get those measurements to you tonight. I should get the wire today if my assumptions are correct. KnuKonceptz is only in Ohio which is where Summit is and we usually get stuff from there in about 3-4 days.

    Im gonna get some carpet and deadener too so i can have it for when its warmer. Should i just make every thing in the trunk black, or would it look better with the charcoal stuff? Also, what kind of deadening should i look into? I wanna do the whole trunk and probably the floor just where your feet go in the front due to where the exhaust will dump.

    I already got 1 or 2 18-wheeler batteries lined up too. They put out about 900 COLD cranking amps, so my dad said they will probably put out 1300 draw amps each, but he wasnt sure. I can get them for $60 each brand-spankin new. Will I need an isolator if I drive the car every day?

    got the wires and all. they are pretty cool, haha. Im now in a predicament. should i get the front stage all goin by buying the tweets and mids or should i just go ahead and buy the PS1-5500D? I am leanin towards gettin the amp asap. I think if i decide to, i can get it right after christmas. Then, start the work on the amp.

    Lastly, i thought of building the box a couple inches shorter to allow the amps to fit on top and then put 1/2in MDF around them acting like a false floor and run all my wires under there. I think it will make it extra clean looking.
