Will there be speaker wire posts mounted on the box?
also interested to see how it looks sitting in the footwell, both with and without carpet on top to see how it does(n't) intrude into the cabin with this extra volume!
I will be offering this as an option , though most people just drill a hole and seal it with silicone
I hear ya, I'm just a fan of the terminals... makes for a cleaner install and removal if necessary. Does there seem to be a suitable location for this?
All the ones i've used tend to leak air. I suppose you can silicone the back/inside of the connectors - haven't tried this before but might work.I hear ya, I'm just a fan of the terminals... makes for a cleaner install and removal if necessary. Does there seem to be a suitable location for this?
would you mind showing, in a pic, the brackets that were removed behind the enclosure?Here are the installed pics!

np Wil. I've never taken apart that section of the car so I have no idea what to expect. I'll go ahead and do that in the next few nights. I just need to get an idea of what brackets need to go.There is really nothing to see , do yo want to see the bracket itself (I threw mine out) or the spot on the floor where they used to be? It just looks like a flat floor. They are small aluminum brackets , about 2" x 1" .
FYI for anybody interested in this product. I spoke with Hrant about making custom floor mats with a speaker cutout to work with this box, and he believes that he already has the template (from the zetoolman V3). I'm going to go ahead and order a set and see how it all lines up... once angus sells me one of his speaker boxes. If anybody else is interested, I'll snap some pics when everything comes in and I get some time to install it.
FWIW, angus you may want to talk with Hrant about offering a combo deal like zetoolman did with his boxes if there is enough interest.
I personally like the stealth look but is the factory floormats generally sound permeable? OR will you hear a vibration/chatter as hard bass hits against the back of the floormat. My guess is that it's a non-issue but I wanted to confirm if possible.
(i'm still on the fence about cutting out the OEM sub mounting tabs... I might just do it...)
