Using a Pioneer TS-SW1041D. Used 2 of them in my truck and they work very well, especially for the cost and space requirements. It will be driven by an Alpine PDX-1.600

The amps, a spot for a nitrous bottle, etc will be flushed into the floor in the spare tire well. (My other car hasn't had a spare for 10+ years either... picture below)





My goals are ergonomic integration in most of my installs. Making the car appears mostly stock and retaining as much usability as possible, while going for optimum sound quality. I'm not going to go as nuts in the Fit as I did in my GTP. I competed and placed in the Top 10 at Nationals in 1998 (Sound Quality), then judged in 1999.

Did my last internal layer of fiberglass on the enclosure yesterday. Measured out the total air space today, and it worked out to a just about perfect .7 cuft

I'll be busy the next few days, so won't get to do more work on it probably until Monday or so.
