that amp is blown so now its a smaller alpine amp with less power don't need anything crazy for an old pioneer 12" but at least it sounds awesome

I hope that's a plexi window on the top and not a hole where the previous amp was installed.

You didn't grow up in 90s car audio, did you? Plexi is essential to sweet sub boxes...

Actually, I did - graduated high school in 1993. I'm used to the plexi showcasing something, like over the front of a bandpass box so you could watch the sub cone. I'm not used to it showing the inside of an MDF box. That, along with the "amp is blown" comment lead to my question.

if I may...
a square hole chopped in an enclosure does not a port make. It's simply a hole. An enclosure vent is crucial in tuning for a peak at a certain frequency...for example, my older Earthquake 12" is in a 1.21 cubic foot enclosure with a 24" long, 4" diameter port which means the enclosure's now tuned to 35hz. You'd be far better off covering that hole with something or there's a strong possibility that sub could suffer from over excursion and eat it's own voice coil for lunch.

I'm working on mine now. Removing the 6X9 "subs" from rear deck, and installing a pair of 8" Fosgate Free-air subs with a Fosgate 4X100 amp. Two channels of the amp to the subs, and the other two to drive the front door speakers. No box for me as I want to retain all of my trunk space. When it is all back together should look very factory.

You can see the plexi bolted to the box in the picture if you look. 
That's a premade generic box, leave the poor guy alone you meanies.
I sold my fair share of regular and quite a few super sized (I worked at Streamline Audio when we built the 1st Gates Bronco - 164.9 dB) most customers just want cheap and working and don't appreciate the awesomeness of super custom audio installs.
Bob, please don't ever call a nitrous bottle a NOS bottle again. I read what you write on most posts but ocassionally you **** me with that stuff.

If it is not called NOS but nitrous, what is a NOS bottle? I googled it and many sites are selling NOS bottles as nitrous oxide system bottles... Thanks for clarification. How is Bob killing you with that stuff?You can see the plexi bolted to the box in the picture if you look.

100 watts per sub?
NOS is a brand of nitrous systems. Same as people calling all cotton swabs q-tips and tissues Kleenex. People make fun of NOS because of the first fast and the furious movie.

Bob killing me = cracking me up. He's funny
My old "NOS" setup...
2 10lb bottles hidden in the spare tire
Now you see them
Now you don't!

Actually my plan now is to run the 4 channel amp directly into the subs with both sides bridged. I will have 200 Watts per sub.

I would love to add a hooked up sound system, but I really need the trunk space..sucks. I wish I could put it somewhere else, but I have no other ideas.

Do what lotusdriver is doing. His wont interfere with trunk space and should sound pretty good.
I hope he posts pictures when it's done, because I wouldn't mind doing the same thing

Yeah good idea! I'm going to have to also see pics, because I'm having a hard time visualizing what he is doing (based on reading this thread).
LotusDriver, hook us up with some pics once you are done!
