more pics...
carpeted and semi-fitted....got to say I am very impressed! kudos to those who originally thought up the position for this box. Its easy to forget there was previously a space in there
some final stats regarding size...27L / 0.95 cu.f...
seems like actually getting the sub & amp will prove to be the headache hard to find good help these days
now...will the golf bag still fit??

hiya mikey, final price was $330...the guys name is Nick (good guy) details below for those interested...
Karatan Custom Mobile Audio
www.karatan.com.au
nicholas (at) karatan.com.au
contact him via email and there are more details on the website...hopefully once the amp and sub actually arrive I can demo the setup when next we meet up for a cruise I should have some other toys installed by then as well...
drew, why would you put it on the drivers side?
with the spare, if I ever get rid of the spare then there will be even more room plus, isnt there an ADR requrement to have a spare, at least in NSW...and before I hear about the sealant solution for punctures...that is a substitute but doesnt that render the tyre un-fixable?
lol...I'll let him know you are after some action shots

It's too much hassle changing the RX-8 system..and expensive too if you want it done right. Most people go for the wire tap option which I'm not really a fan of.
Plus I'm a little poor at the moment too

Yea, thats what I ment in few earlier posts, about the sub not coming across that clear if its just installed or like you said tapped in. The whole rewiring would cost heaps but would be done properly.
Its really ridiculas how much a bloody stereo system would cost for a car lol I still cant justify myself spendin money on that side of the car... People are like "oh do you have a sound system" umm nooooooo, they look at me like im crazy lol $5-10k on a car sound system.. hmm I could do much more for that lol But some people lke it.......... go for it. Just not my thing!

I have seen a pic where one of the guys in the US has installed a little raised handle type thing into his boot to stop his sub box from sliding around. I'll try and find the post...
