probably gonna do a bandpass ported through the rear deck as well - but no 15's for me. had those in high school. i stick with my 10's. BTW the amp is the new HD900/5. i am excited to see how it sounds. i have heard its amazing. hard to imagine that much power comes from such a small amp. technology is amazing. when i was younger an equally powerful amp was at least 5 times the size...

I thought those were at least 12's comparing them to the amp. Yes things are a lot smaller these days. I have some old equipment laying around that I haven't used in years I'm going to try and knock the dust off some stuff. If the box seems to big I will down size my speaker size as well. I just want something that I can tune very low. I used to own a stereo store shoot almost 15 years ago things have really changed. But the basics are still the same.

Beauphus,
Keep up the good work on a sweet car. I don't even own a CLS and I am excited to see that finished. I also know from building rotary rx7's that when you are working on a new design that no one else has tried you don't want to let all the build ingredients out or any dyno numbers until it's complete which is totally understandable. For half the reason is for people to nit pick and tell you your setup is not going to work blah blah blah. The other half of the reason is this forum is being watched by the tuners and parts designers that would love to steal what you have done via R&D on your own dime and make bucks off that.

I was one of the first to have a stock port 2 rotor FC3S lay down 500 on pump gas years ago when the bench mark was 400 for a daily "street car". I worked with some smart guys at Precision turbo who were huge in the grand national/buick/mustang drag world and they built a turbo for me against all conventional wisdom of what historically has worked on a rotary and went the other way with huge results. Now high 500's on pump is a everyday thing. So keep up the good work and as you know most of us can't wait to see the results of that beast.

Thanks. car should be done in 2 weeks. Got my fingers crossed. Should half some exciting results and some interesting results. your exactly right - if I let all the details out before it is 100% finished people would be picking it apart.
