Could be a possibilty... would be pretty sweet, Ill really think about it. Are there any good meetings or car shows between april and june at all around there?

The reason I want to do the slants is to make it flow with the seats a little. Also... Do I need to worry about porting or anything with the box?

dont port it, you would want a sealed box for sure, will be tighter and cleaner sounding. if you want to spend a little money, go with the subthump T-top box. i dont think you could slant it and get the best interior volume specification and a good look. i would go with something like i have, regular carpetted square box that performs well and is cheap.

deffinitely have car shows, every friday night at a place about 5 minutes from my house. its actually quite large and tons of awesome stuff there.

ok im not reading all these pages lol..

but def go with a sealed box..

and im sorry i was under the impression you were kind of on a budge too

but the alpine setup that it gave you would work great.. and sound awesome.. you just may want to add a 4 channel amp to power the speakers. (i would).. then you run a 4 gauge amp kit to a distribution block.. and come out of it with 2 8 gauge power wires and 2 8 gauge ground wires to power both amplifiers..

that whoel setup would be sweet

just print out that setup it gave you.. and take it to one of the guys in the BB car audio department and let him help you find soem equivelant stuff that you guys have in the store.. they should be able to match it up to some other good brands that you guys carry..

Well Ive been looking at infinity... Talked to a guy I work with tonite used to work in mobile, he said infinity is bascially the best speaker hes ever owned.

And I found out we do have that accomodations program, so I get **** even cheaper haha. I asked him about the amp, and he said he doesnt really like infinitys amps cause theyre huge... He likes alpines better... any opinions?

Both good amps, in the end you will pay more for the same power from alpine. Infinity amps are a little bit bigger so I guess its up to you. Id say go all out infinity but its ur call

the biggest thing when placing amps.. is cooling.. you can hide them anyway anywhere just remmeber they get really hot.. and they need to have good airflow wherever they are at..

infinity is good equipment, as well as alpine, but you will pay more for alpine.. so its up to you

ive never had colling issues with infinity amps. Places that come to mind are either mount them on the rear shelf which doesnt work cause your box is going there. You could get one in with ur spare tire, or pull the spare and mount em both in there. Ive put amps on the back wall many times, you could prly fit 2 back there no problem, cause I know i have.

Alright, sorry I dont remember what pages you noted it on, but what should I be getting for fronts and rear speakers again? components or coaxials?

And for subs, what does the voice coils or whatever it was mean? I had a choice of 2 or 4?

Then as for amps.. I guess Im kinda mixed up on which ones you suggested.. I think Im going to stick with infinity, what were the options you gave, and do they have them at best buy?

Lastly, per wire sets.. The one that you suggested to me Matt will work for everything I need?
