Guys,

I had the install done yesterday, and love it! I wanted a decent system, without breaking the bank, and without loosing trunkspace, and the stock look.

Contains:

Eclipse 8\" Sub in Custom fiberglass Jack box.
Phoenix Gold 5.0:4 AMP
Phoenix Gold Octane R 6\" Componants
4GA Wiring to Amp
2 DB Link LOCs.

Here are some pics:

input/comments welcomed...

I like the set-up, looks very factory except for the amp. The good thing is that you don\'t sacrifice any trunk space.

Hmmm... Amps produce quite a bit of heat after playing your system for a while... won\'t it overheat under the floorboard? There isn\'t much ventilation space in there.

Xenon, The amp is hardly working to its max. With the sub at an 8ohm load I am not worried. Worst case is it overheats, and goes into themal protection, at which point I will add some Computer fans. This amp hasnt even gotten hot to the touch yet. Lotsa guys on MZ3F seem to run them like this, and are fine.

Midnight - maybe you can demonstrate some bass from the 8\" at the next meet...
I\'m hoping to be there :)

It isnt setup to hit crazy low, but moderate.

Eclipse is PURE SQL, and doesnt make a SPL sub at all. For pure bass thump get an 8: W7 :)

PS - But sure, you can hear it :) I wont be at meet 5 (as of right now) but I will be at MOM
