Oh, ok. I was just wondering why it was in the little cubby hole on the dash bezel. Is the unit between your seat and the center console going in that cubby hole?

Dont know I would have done the H701. I have the H701 thru the IVA-W505 and I honestly think it was a waste of $ and LOTS LOTS of time trying to tune. I would take a few elect crossovers any day. but thats just IMO..

In any case why the clarion unit also?

I too am mid build and all. I just need more mid bass. adding an 8" each side pocket in custom fiberglass enclosures we are building this weekend. I am going for as much of the cargo space reserved as possible though.

and daym 6 comp in the front adn 6 in the rear?? Where are these going?

I recently added some clif designs vocal enhancer type tweeters they are a 3.5" OD case that fits in teh front dash and really helps in imaging. Just thought I would pass that on..

Heres what is in or going in this weekend (I hope)...

Well the picts dont show all the detail very well. but Boston Acoustics Pro60's front and rear and kicker L7 12" sub with Kicker SS8 8" mid bass in the rear pockets and then the clif front tweeters in dash.

I love my sound processor, I'm running everything active so its great for fine tuning for me, and I use the clarion mainly as a way to adjust sub levels andhigh levels on the fly, uses it as a mute button and burp button, and is a half way decent line driver.


The rear fill is gonna be glassed into the top hatch (depending how bad it flexes) or across the top the box, firing over the back seats

New box is built, pics will be up tommorow

This week im gonna try to get my doors glassed, and my rear fill glassed, and maybe with some luck get the box painted to color match the car.
