toyota celica 03 custom box

I whant to get some ideas from experiance ppl that custom fabrication is there day to day work. Im working on my 03 Celica GTS. First time big project job. Im going with 8 10" Hifonics brutus. with 2 Hifonis 2000 rms each. Lanzar optidrive crossover w/bass boost level, alsodigital bass machine bx-12 from soundstream.

This is what ive done so far.....

Let me know what you all think.

Thanks.

How do you guys know how much mid's and high's to use with that much power. I was thinking of using 6 1/2 components on doors and regular 6 1/2 on kick panels, and on back since im not going to use the stock mounting holes for the speakers. Im adding another pair of 6 1/2 on the top of the rear pillars. Any idea if that will even the sound . Thanks

I used door trims. There those plastick strips that go on the side of the door protecks the chipping the side of the door. They come in black and chrome. Bought them in walmart. Really cheap and works great ratter then using your stock weather strip.

I was taught to "balance your mids and highs with your lows. If you use 500 for the lows, use 500 for the mids and highs" But I don't meet anybody who cares or really knows. What I do know is to add until you are satisfied. A friend of mine told me he isn't happy until everything in his truck is covered in speakers. 36 speakers/woofers later, he still isn't happy. >.< Go figure.

You have enough there to really go nuts with the bass, but it sounds like you are concerned about the speakers setup too. Great! So sit in your car and take the time to tune it. Softly at first to get in ballpark, then just keep adjusting at a higher level until you are satisfied. For many of my clients, Big boom and only a moderate amount of everything was ok, others replied "what about mids and highs?" and then I get the few who look for the perfect balance (Like my partner - Loves modern balanced orchestrations)

So in the end, it should not be, "will this be good?" but rather, "Am I happy with it?"

Hope this helps

Ganbatte ne!
