In all, I'm very happy with the system...I think listening to your car tipped me over the edge to buy everything - now my commute is much more bearable!

btw: any chance of getting the original photos from the Mt Baker drive?

solox? Anyways, I'll probably just go with the one 10'' since i probably wont have much of choice with whats available. Do you think i will still get some good bass with only one sub?
Check the below link for my amp. Do you think that this will be too much power for one 10'' solobaric l7? I bought this stuff off a friend of mine and its just sitting in my room right now. I havent even heard this stuff yet so im really not even sure how it will sound.

Where did you get those spacers for the components? Could you post a picture with the door panel back on?

The speaker spacers are from Zenclosure's as well - it really makes the whole install process much easier. you need the spacers for almost every aftermarket speaker to have it clear the windows.
here's a pic with the door panel back on and the OE speaker grill off...but once you put the OE speaker grill back on, it looks 100% stock and sounds 100% better! (the spacer offsets the speaker perfectly - the rear of the speaker clears the winwows, and the front of the speaker doesn't touch the OE speaker grill.

that amp may be a bit to powerful if your not careful
i would now have a problem using that amp on an L7
but you need to pay close attention to gain, volume, and distortion
so if your not well versed then it may to much power for you
this is a solo x 10"
http://www.kicker.com/06/kicker_home.html
2500 watts rms 5000 peak
this 10" solo x will make a lot of noise
and the amp your talking about would not be enough for the solo x
but to answer your question
using the box you like
with a 10" kicker solo x 1 each
and a 2500 to 3000 watt rms amp
you woudl be bangin major beat
but it wil cost you $
just pop in your l7 and use a 800 watt rms amp
or be real careful with the memphis

If i cant get an enclosure to hold my two solobaric l7's, im just going to have to use just one of them with my memphis amp. I'll just have to turn the gain down and listen for distortion like you said. If anything does happen... ill have another sub to just put in there anyways but hopefully that wont ever happen. Do you think that that one sub will give me that pounding bass that i want? I listen to mostly rap so that gives you an idea of the kind of bass i like.
Also, if i do just use one of the solobaric l7's, how many ohms do you suggest i wire it to? Mine are the 4 ohm solobarics, what do you suggest i wire it to to prevent it from blowing? Thanks.

As for bass - My 10" L5 is plenty for the Z...I've yet to turn it up all the way b/c my ears start to hurt - but I'm not really into blasting music...

So that grill fits back on with no problem? is it easy to get that grill on and off? Any fitment problems?

there's no fitment issues at all - the grill just pops back on. I had left the grill off b/c I had been trying to drill out the little holes to let more sound out (didn't work too well), but when I was done, I just poped them back in. They have little clips on the back with an alimgnet hook thing...just line it up and push it on.
here's a pic of the back side to the grill (it looks weird b/c I had been drilling it...)

I've got a single Mmat's P3.0 with about 800 watts RMS into it (I know, more than spec'd) and I'm rebuilding my box to go ported - but as long as you pay close attention to volumes, and don't use a lot of gain to get volume, you should be ok with 1-10".
I have a lot of people who can't believe its a single 10 - but I followed the recommended box specs and blew it (when I was putting 400 watts in), a few e-mails and box calc's later and I found the issue, decided to upgrade a bit.
Point - its not a big car, your cabin gain is a lot higher than you'll expect, and you can get some SERIOUS volume from a single sub because of that.
