    jrj701 you have done it!! Thanks! Sorry bro but im gonna copy you! Any problems with those changes, and upgrades? I think the speaker by the shifter will give me some much needed mids in the right spot!
    Awsome work! I love the help on this site!! Tige owners ROCK![/QUOTE]


    I ran into a couple small things I was able to work around but knowing in advance would have saved me a couple headaches. Under the seat base you need to hold the speaker as close to the bottom as possible since you will want to put a baffle behind it. I more centered it and it caused some problems with the baffle hitting the seat bolts. That area is also not completely flat so I used 2 of the rubber speaker gaskets to make sure it was air tight. Depending on what type baffle you use you may need to remove the rubber magnet cover on the speaker or it wont seat in all the way. I didn't sandwich the baffle between the speaker and fiberglass because I used a 5 1/4 hole saw and the baffles need a larger hole. Instead I put it behind the fiberglass and used stainless bolts and nuts to mount everything. As far as the one below the throttle handle, I almost made a big mistake. The throttle assembly bolts in behind there and the baffle hits it causing a tight fit. If I had it to do over, I would hold it as low as you can without getting into the pocket area and move it a hair more forward to the dash. I also had to move the emergency cut off switch. Not real big issues, but if my placement would have been a little further off than it was, I would have been in trouble. As the old saying's go measure twice or three times and cut once, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

      Great! Thanks for the heads ups! So did add those 2, and relocating the 1, make a huge difference??
      Another thing i have been wanting to buy, or make was some kind of angled spacer to go behind the other cabin 6.5's to angle them upward. I look online alittle bit, but had no luck. Any body seen those before?

        Sorry, no offense but I think those speakers on the tower base are a horrible idea. If you are sitting in the seat next to that thing it would just be ripping your ear apart.

          I agree, not to mention they really don't look good. They just don't fit the interior.

          I do wish there was an option to add a pair of speakers in the side pockets, forward of the grab handles. I looked at doing it but for me, I didn't think it was worth the hassle.

            Whew, good!

            I thought I was going to take a beating

              I am actually just finishing the install and haven't even had a chance to tune everything and set the gains. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend.

                  Just got everything installed but haven't got anything tuned yet. I'll see what I think and may build a sealed box if I need to. I had 2 10" kickers in a sealed box in my 22ve and loved it.

                      I took a couple pics this weekend. The lighting is not great as it was inside the garage when I took the pics.







                      No making fun of my sweet sub enclosure! It's just temporary.
