RX7 FD Speaker setup & soundproofing??

[jonny116]

Yeah i have the setup sorted now.  
 
12" sub in the rear, 400RMS Amp is gonna go where the spare wheel currently is.  Have bought Rainbow components at a daft price for upfront and just replaced the banger jap 5x7\'s with some £50 alpines just for rear fill to run off headunit.
 
Amp is a 4 channel Hertz amp so will run components off 2 channels and bridge the sub on the other 2!!  Massive power but should get great quality!!!  
 
need to work out the easiest place to feed the amp power lead from the battery, been told there is somewhere next to the ABS in passnger footwell but not really sure what im looking for!!
 
Have an old sub box for the sub for time being but once its all installed am gonna use it as the base for a build and cover the whole boot floor in black leather so looks smart!!  
 
Anyone else done this? Pics or ideas on what shape to go for rather than just a boxey thing in the back of the boot?

For running the power feed have a look at the back of the engine bay near the passenger side wheel arch liner (im running without liners so im not sure if you have to peal them back).  You\'ll find a large grommet that leads through into the passenger side of the car

Nice one thanks, sounds like a 10mintue job so i\'ll have a check tonight.
 
p.s. are the liners difficult to remove or just undo the ties n pull them off?  My wheel keeps rubbing the liner where the tie isent very tight.  Will this detriment the vehicle??

[D2BBA]

Not sure how to remove the arch liners as they have always been off.

Im told its not recomended to run without liners as you expose components to water.  Its good for cooling tho and the wheels I run with the RE A archs benefit from no arch liners

p.s. I lost my alarm siren recently due to water ingress, so check everything is suitably out of the way of the archs!!!
