Those kind of installs are always a bit flashy for my personal tastes, but they sure do look good.

Unless you are a wizard in building a great box that does wonders, the 8" sub just ain't gonna cut it... too small. I should know...

2 alpine type S subs on a ported box, with the alpine to puch it i hit 134 dbs with stock radio

The only thing was taking the back seats out to put the box in, but it went in perfect and was done in 2.5 hours

if you measure 7 3/4 wide - you dont have to cut the braces - i didnt - forsome weird reason i measured 8 3/4 so i did have to cut them - oh well -didnt want to - but had to make it fit - prob not a great idea - but if i ever sell the car - the sub will go with it - im still waiting for the slow *** fed ex ground to bring my amp and amp kit - ill pos more pics when i finish.
