hmm, I might have to sell my w12PRS... even though I LOVE that thing I don't think there's going to be enough room in the Fit for a 12", 1.0 cf custom enclosure without sacrificing too much space

Hold the salt too

I don't think the salt would do the car any good either.

I am planning to make the similar enclosure, but painted VBP. And planning to put the amp on top of the sub (covering the little window). what do you think?

Whoa, the PRS is an awesome SQ sub. I wish they made a 10" version. I think you still can go with a 12", you'll have to place the sub in the rear corner though. I was flirting with the idea before building mine

Are these going into your spare wheel well?

Is that a new cargo floor you've built?

I dont see any issues since the sinks are totally exposed.

$50 0awg special online a few months ago. Not the greatest, but more then I will ever need in this car.

Power and ground for the Clarion source power supply

While I was at it, I upgraded one of the ground wires.

Do you upgrade the wire to the alt too?

Sorry about the dirty car.

I ended up using the 2 factory holes to bolt the rack in.

Access to the spare

Note that I still have to build the fuse/dblock/relay panels on either sides of the rack.

I have 2 new amps to replace these ADS amps. I hope they fit the rack w/o any modifications

Keep up the amazing work, my friend.

Im going to eventually do something like that...I think. I was originally going to go with gas shocks (hood shocks) or cabinet rails, but it was a bit much for something that I may or may not even access over the lifetime of the car <knock on wood>.

Its not just me, there are many competitors that have won with speakers on the a pillars playing more then 20k.

I thought you were looking at putting mids there too. Take a tape measure and measure from the speaker location on both sides to your nose. I don't have my Fit at the moment. Let me know what it is.

Enclosure looks awesome. That ID sub is sexy.
