![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Anyone have anything to install or fix and want to eat and drink while they do it? I've got puddle lights...
Shari is coming in town April 8 and I'd like to get something set up if we have enough people wanting to participate... Jenkins - not to intrude,
but do you have plans that day? Are you willing to share your garage again? I promise to make Harry leave at a decent hour this time.

Dazy: Can't wait to see how those puddle lights come out. Are you taking pictures along the way as you install them?

Wow... You just picked one of the only weekends I have free... well, kind of. I was actually thinking of having a party that night. Maybe we can have an after party at my house. I plan on getting a keg.........

What are you talking about Dazy??? The body kit only took 14 hours, and we were gone by 11pm... simmer down. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Since Jenkins is a pro at drilling into my car... i'll try to get the wing painted and ready (if it ever arrives) before then. My only other mod till april is the Interceptor, and i'm sure I'll probably install that within 15 seconds of it arriving![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

How much are you paying for a custom install, if i can ask?

For a fiberglass box to hold 2 10s and 2 amps I was quoted around 800 for the labor and install of my parts. Gonna take up all the trunk. Wont be any carpet left at all. So there will be alot of fiberglass. Was also quoted at least a week to need to have the car up there for the whole job.

Depending on my schedule I might like to attend. I don't really have anything I need installed, but it would give me a chance to meet everyone, and I've done some light modding myself, and I enjoy the work so I could lend a hand.

I'm not trying to argue with anyone, but I'm gonna give my 2 cents.
If you plan on using up your entire trunk space for your system, I would highly suggest having an alternate vehicle to transport your larger items. Yes - you can put groceries and suitcases and most things in the back seat of the RX8. However, if you have more than 2 people in your car, and you all have a large duffle bag for a weekend trip, the car ride will suck. I have some trunk space, but not much, and trying to fit luggage for a road trip wasn't easy.

Have you looked into possibly going with 4080 boxes? I'm thinking going this route soon just to be able to keep most of my trunk.
(sorry if the picture comes out huge)

Here's a simple question that someone might have the answer to, as far as car subs go, why are the audiobahn subs so much more efficient than everyone else? Most of the JL's are rated between 84-89 dB SPL and almost all of the audiobahn stuff is 90-99 db SPL. Efficiency is a big deal when it comes to how loud things will be. It's just confusing when the closest I've seen (in the limited number I've looked at) is Infinity's with 90 dB SPL.
