Well this should be the last round of pics because the project is done. All that remains is tuning. Without further ado here are the pics.


The MS8 is mount upside down under one amp. While the Line8 is mounted under the other amp.

I still can't believe how much wiring is in the wheel well.











All buttoned up and ready for use. Just because you have a system doesn't mean you need to lose your trunk.

how about a wiring diagram, with special attention to how you interfaced the system to the OEM HU.

Quick update.

I had a couple of annoying rattles in the interior that were making go crazy. Russ and his friend Richard spend 6 hrs locating each one and im happy to report that my interior is completely dead quiet!!!!! The Esotars2 1200s sound 10x better. I'm still amazed at the detail of these subs. You can hear and feel every single bass note, Pure sonic bliss!!!!! I will never own another set of subs. I've converted to Esotarscism These are going with me to my grave!!!!!





As per my request Russ changed the gray grills to black. I like it a lot more and i love the contrast.





Russ also surprised me with a little more Alcantara love Thanks bro, i love it!!!!!




That's it for now...Next upgrade will be a new DSP, hopefully withing the next month or so.

when you drive does your leg blocking the kick pod make a difference? I always wondered that? In my car teh pod would be completed blocked by my leg
