Sometimes you do things.. then wonder why...
Couldn't find buyers for some audio stuff I had so I decided to throw some of it into my friend's saturn... since he was willing to pay and let me turn an econobox car into a much heavier econobox car...
It will be carpeted sometime eh.. never...
The old headunit was a crappy walmart bought pioneer.. so we replaced it with another pioneer we had laying around from a customers car... thankfully this has 4volt outs.
Plexiglass if friggin expensive...
fiberglass is fun and delicious
US Amps exceeded my expectations... I'm probably gonna swap it out for two seperate amps and use this amp in my car later but its working pretty well now. The 2 12w7's were being pushed by two RF BD1500's before.
Everything is still a work in progress... battery/alt upgrades are needed... surprisingly the saturn doesn't rattle at all.. must be all the plastic and play doh that goes into the production of the vehicle... we were also going to originally paint the fiberglass rear deck but we are lazy...
the doner vehicle...

Also building a box using 3 12" hx2's in my friends RSX... I dunno why.. he asked for it. I'll post up pics soon....
I'm slowly working towards getting set of door panels for my 2GS to customize... I haven't decided on a configuration as yet... but its still in planning.

i used to have x2 12" rf power hx2's (if these are the same your referring to) with 1k watts (rf bd1000.1 bridged) and it hit so freakin hard. i had it in a honda integra hatchback at first and it was mean 
i really miss those that setup i had, i wish i had kept it when i sold the car as it... grrr.... great setup in that small car though, that dude is going to have hearing problems about 5 years from now

those aren't the power hx2's i dont' believe, are those just normal hx2's then,,, i think the power ones had the twice the magnet size as the regular hx2's did. the 12's were like 48 lbs a piece or something ridiculous like that. still very nice i'm sure though. nice setup.

When I redo my build I won't use any hand me down speakers or sub. Gonna keep it fresh for the GS.

if i could find some new or heck even my old power hx2's with that old bd1000 amp i would install that shiz in my current car. it hit so much lower and harder than most of the stuff out there today. what in the world happened to rf's new line the ones i heard didn't come close to sounding like that. last i heard you had to be like a certified db champ to even order the good ones and i gave up the rf search at that point.
