I've been lazy about posting this for a while now. After reading lots of stuff about how good Polks are supposed to be I decided to buy some of their components to update what was in the car. Then Sentrixx reminded me of the 6.5" sub from ED. Well I managed to get a pretty sweet deal on both of them and couldn't resist getting rid of my sub and having a nice setup. Then right around christmas my presents to myself showed up.




After this I went to the car looking at what I would be undertaking since I've never really gone about doing an install like this before. And I discovered my hatred of the adhesive use for the plastic covering of the door. I also found out that the people before me had someone install and it was done really bad, so I had my own challenge for this.

Here is a comparison of the Polks vs. ED sub.


finally making progress


Trying to screw down these subs is fun. With a B13 you don't have too much room to get a screw driver in there.

And the front all buttoned up.



Lastly here is my setup in the back, with a little surprise since the magnets didn't clear some parts back there.


Please ignore the dirt.. can't do much about it when you live in Minnesota.

Hope you enjoyed the pics. And I have to say this setup blows my old one out of the water and all for about $250.

Neat setup. I especially like that little trick with the trunk strut!!

Awesome! I'm getting ready to do the same thing in my B14. What happens when you remove the tension rods in the trunk? The trunk lid just wont stay open?

I am not familiar with the b14 trunk and how well balanced it is, but yes it won't stay open. I recommend mounting the strut and then cutting the rods. It's easier to get them out if you cut them, you won't be using them anyway. Just watch for some recoil when you do, it's not much but it'll sting if you don't pay attention.

I decided to go with a vented enclosure for my 7kv.2's. I dont want to cut holes in my rear deck panel. Plus, it seems like a lot of work to eliminate all the vibrating/rattling with them installed in that location.

sad to say this might be for sale shortly. a setup not even used for 30 minutes and it'll have to be taken out.

TommyD241

Why?

MN_SR20

long story, but to make it short issues with the car.

it will probably be transferred to the next car... i'm staying in the nissan family

Sorry to hear that. I checked out your cardomain and that is a nice looking classic.
