I only have side shot right now of the car ... I'll try to post a front shot soon though

The JL W7 10inch costed $400 but can handle 1200watts and the custom box was $500 ... then add the amps/wires in the trunk.

thanks for the comments

Brought the Lorinser roof spoiler at a local performance shop for $430.

Thinking about putting the Lorinser DTM front bumper what do you guys think?

sweet man, similar setup to mine except i am running an Alpine Type-R 12" in a custom sealed enclosure. is that a sealed box? ive not seen a W7 in a sealed enclosure, which is actually a setup i considered, but went with the type-R because its very crisp and does everything i need it to do, nothing more. question: why dont you remove the plastic piece behind the rear armrest, which would allow the sub to fire directly into the cabin (plus it looks cool). i did this, so when the armrest is down you can see the sub right there (armrest doesnt really stay up, my sub slowly moves the armrest down, haha). also got some ghetto neon back there that glows through, i think the neon has been turned on for a total of 10 minutes in the 6 months ive had the car. love the setup though, if that box is indeed sealed, id like to hear your impressions of the W7 in a sealed enclosure, and how much sealed airspace it needs. TIA.

Eric

The Lorinser DTM front bumper is niceeee. But consider its low ground clearance especially if you lower the car a lot.
Check out mine on picture thread pages 72 to 74 ( I think) if you have not already done so.

I have 2 10W7's in my trunk, im using enclosures from JL Audio, luckily my car has the ski package so i have access to the trun, i normally keep it open so i can hear the direct bass from the subs to the cabin. The enclosure has to be big, you cant use any enclosure because the dimensions of the W7's are big, so best bet is to do a custom install or buy the box from JL Audio. It takes up a lot of space in my trunk, but I barely use my trunk except when grocery shopping, so space isnt an issue. Im thinking of doing a custom install next year where id take out my spare tire and make the two subs flush with the floor giving me my factory trunk space.

When buying any W7, know that you will be sacrificing lots of space.
