Hahaha it's not THAT crazy but you'll definitely be pushing a bunch of air. It look like you're running a ported box which is actually the best way to go. I ran sealed for years with my 10W7 and when I went ported it blew my mind the difference. Let me know what those HD amps sound like, I want to upgrade my car one of these days.

Here's my old setup before I sold the 500/1 and the W7

Looks good Supra. Yeah, I went with ported for that reason. The ported air is going to be directed up and into the rear deck so it all goes into the cabin.

Install is on hold till I get a few parts unfortunately!

Got some things done. We were waiting on the LED's and then we could start closing up the rear. The Hertz 3 way mids are coming next week They started doing the vinyl and closed up the box with the plexi glass.

What are you wrapping the panels in? Quality work always takes more time than chop shop installs. It's well worth it too!
