Closest ambient light is over a half mile away, so pitch black here...

Yes sir! Stealth install and 100% storage space retained as well as keeping weight down. :tiphat:

Lastly, ordered more iJDM Toy goodies, panel LED lights for map lights and regular LED for rear cargo area as well as LED licence plate lights.

Driving the Z is therapeutic :driving:

:iagree::driving:

Well, I got half of my day's project done. Ordered two Bazooka tubes from the same place at the same time, and only one showed up. The second one never shipped. Called Amazon, not only will the second one be here tomorrow (free overnight shipping), but they extended my Prime renewal a month. I really can't complain I guess.

Wired in series for an 8 ohm load currently, so 300 watts running to it. Once under the floor and all of the carpeting reinstalled, it sounds damn good. Hits harder, extends deeper, can feel it through the car more since it's physically in contact with the metal floor of the car (makes it seem bigger and stronger), and once tweaked a little, blends better with the front stage.

The other one just showed up. I'll install it tonight at work after we close.

Today could have been warmer, but it was warm enough so I had 4 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires put on my "Z". Now I just need to wait for it to get warmer.

And here it is. I'll just have to do some minor tweaking over the next couple of days. So far... DAMN! And I'm not referring to sound quantity either, I'm referring to sound quality! Listening to some Marcus Miller and all of the detail in his bass is there. Anywho... I probably should go into the "audio" forum and do some write-up there about it.

Looks like a cool install.... a write up would be nice to see

-Spoiler

Interesting, I could use those in my car. Did want to lose trunk space. What size are those bazooka tubes? 8"?

I've been taking the Z out almost daily this week but just for short 15-30 minutes jaunts to and from the house.

Drove it to work today and have a few errands to run later. Crossing my fingers that the barely cranking battery and broken fuel pump top hat don't strand me somewhere :icon17:

I did have a sputter of fuel starve on the way to the office this morning. With 80 miles on the tank :rolleyes:

I went ahead and filled up at the Shell station by my office - it took 4 gallons to fill it lol

Thanks. I'll do a full write-up soon. I'm not even sure I have one started for my car anyway, so it's well past due!


Yes, they're 8's, dual 4 ohm wired in series/parallel for a final 4 ohm load to the amp, meaning a healthy 600 watts. And running two of them, they are so efficient, I had to back off the gain quite a bit on them to get a good blend with the front stage. Just crossovers, levels and time alignment is used. No EQ needed at this point.

Finally upgraded my stock tires to some wider tires - BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S. 245/45/R18, 275/40/R18. I guess new tires are slippery until you break them in, right? I hope so because I heard these were pretty sticky.
