Been awhile, Celica back on the streets Options

[chucho]

I bought my Tacoma back in December of '06 and parked the celica for awhile. Then I got it back on the road around September and started playing with it again. Upgraded my sub setup to two 12" SL7s and two ZX750.1 kicker amps. I wanted something that would give good sound in a small space so I got them & ontop of that I got some killer deals from an accomdation through kicker. Car was at my buddies car shop where he made the fiberglass boxes for me. Finally got it back yesterday and washed it off this morning and took some snaps. Glad to have her back.










Whats new to me. The CF hood, got some smaller rims to get more tire still have 17" in my shed, SL7s, and amps.

I'm gonna finish my sound setup. Getting the three way component speaker setup Dynaudio Esotec 362 (8", 3", 1.1") in the doors and Dynaudio MW162 (6.5) rear. New Alpine head unit and equalizer. Then its time to save up to play with the engine. And I have to get it resprayed sometime soon too; same color.

ask playr i don't remember. But the dynaudio speakers are on ordered. I'm excited to get them. Now I'm looking at getting a new high amp. May get ARC or rainbow amp. not sure yet.

how did you make the sub boxes

[NGHTKD]

clean coup', top job!

[chucho]

how did you make the sub boxes

they're fiberglass. just had to mold the back. They are removable but its completely fiberglass. My buddy made it for me. I know how to do some fiberglassing but he wanted to do them for me since it was gonna take some experience. He owns his own car shop which I need to go harasse him about my Dynaudio speakers and seeing about ordering an ARC Audio amp.

[playr158]

that car is going to have a very nice sounding system

you're going to blow that wrap job right off the lid

[chucho]

my dynaudio setup is in.... soooo nice and pretty. Still in the box and gotta wait on my new amp. & gotta damper the whole door but its gonna be so clean.

I will be working in the morning and hopefully i'll be working on the celica after that. not really into mardi gras so i wont be there.

its going to prolong me getting my arc audio amp for my 3 way setup. so its aggravating me haha

[playr158]

i saw your tweeter!!!!

[chucho]

finally about to have my new speakers in! So excited. had to make fiberglass mounts for the 3 1/2 inch speakers replacing the 4 inch speakers and shaved the tweeter covers and made a mount for the much larger tweeters, going from .5 inch stock to 1.1 inch

Hey man I love the fiberglass sub enclosures but they look a bit small, you sure they are big enough for those subs? I only ask cause i was going to do something similar in my coupe but the enclousers would have been so bit there wouldn't have been a point to do it that way over doing a box... And 1" tweets fit in the stock triangular pieces...
