Yeah, that's why I'd need a pro for the install, somebody who really knows what they're doing. I basically figure if the centre piece was modded properly it would be properly sealed, packed and permanently in place, therefore no longer removable, but that's ok. I'd even be open to using a completely custom made housing which may be a better solution. Cause it's a sub, I'm thinking a back firing unit is best.

I use the boot for my spare tyre assembly which sits directly behind the rear seats. I could remove the assembly and use this space instead, but in the end I'd rather not sacrifice boot space if I can find an alternative solution

Try audioedge at Jalan Jurong Kechil.

I did mine there. They only carry upmarket audiophile gear like audison, PHD, phase

say Alan (Black RX8) recommended. they'll take care of u. they import all stuff themselves. so prices very cheap. just for flavour, Soundstream (high-end in most shops, but the lowest end there) 6.5 components going for only S$150. how cheap is that! that was the price offered to me, but mine is entirely PHD.

They'll be having a booth at dreamcarz shop.

Hi, i just went to take a quik peek at the site. noticed tt they are selling a pair of dynaudio speakers (2nd hand) for S$550. I can get brand new for S$600, instead of the S$880 as stated.

btw, i am not a dealer/middleman/broker and i dont get anything outta it.

just ppl who are interested.
