and 12"s fit...thats what these were. I also has an aftermarket head that could pysh my mids and highs enough to compensate for the subs.

damn!!!!!!!

that thing looks great man.. l wish l had that!!!

Amp was a bit weak for the subs, but on these cars, the subs funnel the sound forward anyway so you don't need a lot of power. That box cover is from Q-logic (crutchfield), the amp is a Rockford cheapie 300 watt, and the subs were Kickers at first then Rockford 12s. You could probably do a setup like that for under $800 if you used all new components and maybe less than $500 if you got some good used speakers and amps and just got the box surround plastic cover new. I take it youre leaning more toward keeping the car again :-p

there is nothing l can do!!

l bought the corolla and l was gonna sell the formula but that damn corolla has noise from engine and clutch is the worst clutch l have evern seen.. it is about to die and 550 bucks for repair.. and l just replaced the starter. (bought the part for 120 bucks..
also l put brand new radiator into formula.. l am thinking now, if l seel the bird and keep the toyota would be stupid.. cuz toyota already needs some works such as clutch.. but firebird will be all set after tune up..
l am in the middle man, every single second l change my mind, lately l dont feel ok because of these cars.. l bought one to be happy but it is crap too.. l dont know whatelse to do..

Well, at this point, you could almost keep one running at all times so you have a backup. So, when you're working on the firebird, you have the toyota and vise versa. Just dont spend a whole lot on the toyota as it should probably be your beater that you drive when working on the other one only. I bet you could keep the toyota running without putting a whole lot of money in it so long as you're extra gentle on it until the Formula is running again.

yeah man..

l ain't putting nothing on corolla.. l tinted her windows and replaced the starter and thats enough for her..

firebird.. l am still not sure about replacing opti, spark plugs and wires by myself.. but l really do not wanna pay 800 bucks too..

l will see what is gonna happen. but my heart is with firebird.. l know l shouldnt keep that car but l cant help it.. cuz l spent 6k bucks on it and as u guys know l just put brand new radiator on it.. l guess she is gonna be brand new after l replace the opti..

You dont have to have a big box for the trunk either. Depending on how deep your subs are you can get some truck boxes, which are smaller, and stick them on the "shelf" behind your rear seats. Thats what i did with mine. i have 2 12" pioneers. it doesn't give you the LOUDEST or DEEPEST tone that the bigger box would have but it gives you enough to sound pretty good for rap and rock. unless you buy walmart subs and amps... ha ha

l am not buying anything now.. l thought it was gonna be cheap.. but l se now this system would cost me at leats 500 bucks.. l think with that 500 bucks l should get my opti replaced.. then the car will be brand new..

when l got my LT1. right away l signed up here and then check on ebay, turbo kits, headers etc.. l wanted to put some bolts on it, but the damn car didnt let me, all the time it broke down.. while l was fixing a part, another part was breaking down and l ended up spening 6k on this. so l didnt hvae chance to put some bolts on execpt flowmaster muffler. even the muffler wasnt for performance, while l was driving my pipe flew away.. and l had to replace the muffler and they told me that l had to put flowmaster on this cuz l already had lowmaster cat back on.

dude l have a funny and long story about this damn car..

I cant remember the price i paid for my sub-box. I got it from the local La Salle before it closed up. It wasnt on sale or a special deal, but i know i didnt pay more than $50 for it. The box except the speaker grills is completely flat and drops perfectlly in the t-top holder. Ive got Dual 12" Massive subs, put the amp off to the side in the spare tire space. I usually just set the t-top either on top of the box( no vibration or noise from this) or have the back seat layed down. Set t-tops there also Those Q-Logic boxes are nice but what ive got is exactly the same color as the surrounding carpet. smoke gray or whatever you call it. Ive a 98 Black TA
