Black GS400 DIY VIP build
Trunk progress!
Trunk coming together a bit more now. Put some capet back and and cleaned up stuff.
Kicker 1000.1 DX 1ohm stable mounted up nicely
Kicker DX 400.4 slotted in well and wired up
Made this box to cubic area spec but had to alter dimentions due to the lack of height in this part of the 2gs trunk. There is a ton of space in general for the teunk though which is aqesome for this kind of stuff. It is a dual 8\" sub, songle ported box made of mdf. Box houses 2x Sundown SA-8 sub woofers rated at 600watts rms (will have to upgrade amp later). They are both dual 4ohm voic coils drivers. I have wired them to 1 ohm to take advantage of the amp.
Couldn't get safety anywhere because of the 20% tint so unfortunately I had to remove it all. I ended up getting safety a day later. Put 0% tint from Japan on lol. Here's a video of my friend and I doing it. Subscribe to the channel to see more of our cars and this gs as well!

That sucks but definitely keep posting videos. I would watch your channel on youtube. Also thats really stupid that Hawaii doesn't have a medical exemption for tint. In Virginia I got my doctor to sign a form so I can tint all of my windows to 35% tint and once you have that on your registration cops won't mess with you. Seems like in Hawaii you would need tint a lot more than where I live

35% is legal on all the back windows without it. The form lets you tint the driver and passenger windows from 50% which is nothing to 35% and the windshield to 90% and 70% above the AS1. I haven't done the windshield but I'm thinking that I want 70% on the entire windshield. I'm not sure if that would be to dark though. Seeing at night is good

I wish I could fill out a form to get darker tint lol. Hawaii has stupid car laws including a reconstruction permit for all modded cars. 35% really isnt much here since the uv index is so high, it's unfortunate things like that are not taken into account when making laws. If I was able to tint the windshield I definitely would since the sun is in m eyes most mornings, also for looks lol. I know someone who had their windshield tinted with 70% and he said it's awesome for cutting the blinding sun and even headlights and it's not too bad in the night.
