Trunk monkey

This photo demonstrates the proper position for trunk audio work
I built two sub boxes and an amp I chose to run the amp wire from the starter post and under the car very clean.

If you like the RX-8 trunk the more power to you. And not all Asians like to fit in the craziest places.

Free head unit

I replaced my stock Bose system single cd that worked with the mp3 adapter for a 6 disc

The first person to guess what's hanging from the ceiling gets the HU if the guess is detailed enough I’ll even pay the shipping.

Sux that it was the camera phone at 1 mp bet the best we could do at the time

Hope someone has fun with this one

I always thought it was a very pretty car. Too bad it never sold as well as the Probe or Integra. I do seem some running around still and many with the problematic paint jobs that factory produced.

true, there are few that stomp around central florida. and they do have that paint problem as well. which really upsets me cuz it makes it look like less of car than it is.

is that one of those crazy jet turbine boat thingies hanging from the cieling? one fo those super quick/agile ones? I saw those in New Zealand a bunch, going around "Tracks" in the water. There are also some hilarious videos of mishaps in those boats on YouTube (I'd link, but I'm at work)
