No I don't have the L6's in, I'm sure that is why the software is going that high!

But I'm saving this info once the time comes by! even though the way it sounds (Mid/bass) now was amazing for the DIYMeet members at the Massachusetts meet and had a chance to hear my set up, one of them had L6's and he was very much impressed,...

so... I guess it just gets better and better!

Sounds AWESOME!

The Sub "shows off" I really like the IDQ12

Lows, slamming hard really nice, but at really high volume my left door (plastic panel vibrates and rattles)

This track has a very nice center image even without a singer!

The stage width goes from outside sail panel left to right, very interesting "wuogle" sound


Should I be looking for something else?

There is a huge low end that can rumble the entire foundation of your vehicle...

Other than that, it's a simple "Whoa" type song.

The L6's in the door...If you trim out the circle in the panel you'll eliminate or reduce the rattle...

Rumbles everything for sure, feels like 2 or 3 woofers in the trunk. The Lows are nice and tight, and the "Whoa" song sounds 3Dimensionally awesome!

I though about cutting a hole in the panel in front of the speaker! but just to be sure, do you mean exposing the speakers (Lows) and have eye contact with them? if so after using a router how do I finish and make it look good without doing another peace of art?

I would like to see the L6's move!

I got this shot, that leaves the woofer exposed and brings more foot print area, with a little step foot rest area. Another idea[/B] with an inverted subwoofer firing into the box! could be next! I still think that I should wait for the port and get an idea on how big are the inside/outside flares!







Disregard the I6SW in this picture it's only holding the inclined board that holds the popcorn and

Ok, the port came in a little before Irene, we are ok, and I had some time to think!

After some ergonomic issues about the sub box I also came with other option that runs the sub facing down and the 16 inches of port in a straight configuration instead of using the 90 degree elbow, I have 2 shots with my 10 size working shoes and my wife's shoes as well.

When I sit down a more comfortable position and natural posture of my feet. and the 10 liters of Popcorn shows that we are ok in the internal volume.

I like this option, not only because it's ergonomics but puts the port facing forward more in the center of the car, the woofer it's protected (I rather have it showing off, but it would be in the way of the Heat/AC for the feet), I can still move the seat all the way forward.

Less writing and more pictures:

I'm using the space under the glove box, and I don't want to give up the glove box either, too much building and there is not a lot of space there, besides that I would need to reinforce the area due to the extra weight from the sub + enclosure.

I rather keep it simply

This is a very interesting option, even can't really tell on the pictures the gain in space specially stretching your legs it's a plus in this option, on the negative I can't push the seat all the way forward, just a little bit. The internal volume it's "ok" too!

Another good thing is that I could steel go with the L6's in kick panels! if the doors don't like them.

@ Tolmach - I'm not showing the car anymore this year. I've got too much to do with the install. Now that I know it can win, I'm making it better.

Our last show was at Keith McCumber's IASCA Canadian Western Regionals at the Canadian Tire in Coquitlam.

The next show will probably be down here in the states next year.

Oh! Derick! What else could I possibly do to the car (except for rims and lowering)? MWAHAHA!!!! Think train horns!

I was forced off the road yesterday by a Ford truck. MF'r thought it was funny until I came out of the car and put a big dent in the side of his truck...POS wouldn't get out and answer for pretty much trying to kill me...

Even with those three tone Hella horns...I need to go bigger with this small car...

[sickpuppy1]

I know a guy with a train horn under the bed of his S10. He has it "bagged" too. We mentioned he probably gets alot of attention with it lowered like that. He says, this is what gets their attention, and reaches in and toots that horn......Scared the crap out of all of us,lol

Since this weekend is a holiday...we have to start on it next Monday. Damn!

[derickveliz2]

Long weekend @ Laconia NH just relaxing with family.

Last week coming back from work I was thinking what if... I had the port in 2 sections using the 90 degree elbow...
The picture below shows what I was thinking, consider the port to be 3" shorter using the elbow. Today I was playing around with it and it's a really good option,
I still have to figure out how much internal volume is, my guess is that it's pretty close!

We'll see:

Sorry for the crappy cellphone picture :(

^New horns


^New horns. You can see the Hella three tone and the stock horn. No comparing these whatsoever...





Derick...I'll put up some video when I get some shot. Needless to say, these are LOUD!!!
