There are two 10" JLW3 D2\'s in there.

You may get em in but it depends on what else you have to go in, eg...amps etc etc

I used the space from the spare wheel well to make up to capacity of the box, works well.

Cheers

Pretty good mate :)

My install should be finished in the next week, but no playstation for me :(

Im going with just one 12", we can see how they compare.

Looks great Adam!

Incidentally, fitted those speakers and they are a lot better than the stock ones! I can actually turn the base up now!!

Glad to hear they sound ok mate....  the stock ones are poor though.

Did they go in ok?

As for the 12" JL... if you can, port the box.  I had a 12" jl in my last FD.  Built a sealed box and it didn\'t amaze me.  Built a ported one and it was a lot better.

The two 10" sound great.....makes your hair move on ya head :)
The DLS amp i have is amazing.  Three channel.  The sub channel pushes out 600 RMS at 2ohm, and they don\'t half make some noise, but it also comes with a base control for the cockpit, so i can turn it straight down...  I must also say that my diamond front speakers are the best i have heard.  I had Boston spekaers in my last FD but these a far better.

If anyone wants cheap ICE gear give me a shout as i discoverd a contact who gets stuff a bit cheaper...eg, my DLS Amp retails at 650, i got mine for 490, and the speakers are 350, mine were 260, all prices including delivery.

Yeah they fitted fine, rears were a straight swap. Fronts took off the door trim and matched the holes on the plastic inner holder and got a bolt just bigger than the holes (about 6mm) and bolted them in letting the bolt cut a thread in the plastic.

Took about 30-40mins to do the lot!

Cheers again

It\'s an A5 amp (the big three)  Basically has three channels.  2 for the front speakers then one with big power for the subs.  I bought this amp without looking into them....i was very lucky as it\'s amazing quality, i won\'t be buying any other brands in the future.

Got any pics of your install in your RX7???

Cheers

@ Adam

A5 is a very good Amp !! The 3 Channels ist perfekt to cobine the woofer and the front or rear Systems.

I have no picture from my install, because the amps still installed in my BMW V8 but the car would be sold in next time !!

If the install is ready a take a few of pictures and put it in the Forum !!
