So since this is my daily driver, my goal is to make this more fun to drive and also more comfortable to drive to some extent. This means that I do not want an all out performance car (stripped interior for maximum weight saving kinda thing), but I also do not want to make it toooo slow by adding a 1000lbs sound system. However, I do like music obviously... and since my base model w/ sports package doesn't come with a sub, I added in one myself
Goal here was to have a good amount of bass, but not take too much space or add too much weight. So got a small little 10" JL sub, a Phoenix gold 500w amp and it is already way more than enough for me. Can't even max out the sub without feeling uncomfortable
Save money where I can, and learn while doing it
So wiring up everything with the help of my friend
Hooked up the power wire so the battery trim kind of blocks the power wire and fuse. Ran it through the trims and underneath the carpet
Sub mounted on the shelf behind my seat, since I can't reach there anyways from my seat so it doesn't affect me
Right against the seat means I feel the sub a lot more too lol. Amp is mounted behind my seat so it's not in the way, and I can still adjust gains and whatnot fairly easily. Not taking up much space, and not too in your face. Actually turned it around so the sub is facing the back after a few days, having the sub pound on my back wasn't too comfy lol
Got my ipad mini mounted the other day since my deck doesn't have navi. I stream music and videos through bluetooth. The ipad is easily removable and the lid can also be put back on easily via magnets. Will post more pictures later
I.C.E is almost done, just need to sound deaden the doors and put in some better speakers
Annnddd looks like my front lip was not meant to be. This time the lip itself actually gave away, the bolts still held it in place, but the rest of the lip cracked at the mounting point and just flew off right when I shifted. This time it cracked and gave away and I ran over it, and it also tore off my sideskirt... Remains of the front lip and sideskirt
And somehow my fender liner also popped out and my tire ate it up... luckily my friends were able to temp. hold it on enough so I could drive home still with the left over 3m tape on my bumper. Thank god for them, never would have thought about that myself
Pretty choked, but I guess it's bound to happen eventually... Missed the big local spring meet, but it's not too big of a problem. Harsh on my wallet, but put in the order for a full one piece front bumper this time. Also bought the sides and rear to match... Big plans for the summer
