Hi All its been a while got bored this summer so i did this as i was so fed up with the ice in my sti. I managed to get some decent sub's from the uk on sale in a reputable shop cost me £50 each. It took a long time measuring the boot area as i needed a seamless fit for 5 cubic foot of bandpass box 2.5 cubic foot per sub was recomended. initial design below. It was quite a shock to see the size of the boxes it meant no boot left?? or very little anyway. had to strip the seats out and begin sound proofing, also decided to fit a false floor with access to the spare wheel well. after this stage had been completed i sat the sub enclosures onto the false floor and all fitted better than i expected. the next stage was to cover the enclosures, then refitted them this took forever as with the covering the size increased and what was a snug fit turned into a nightmare. side enclosures where also fitted with amps, cap and as i used zero gauge from the battery a splitter for the two class D 1500watt rms amps. Then i took some time fitting these. the wiring was a sod as everyone recomends different approach 1 OHM, 2 OHM ect. so i decided 1 OHM was for me. I also bought some component sets for all four doors this was a nightmare they turned out to be 1"larger than any one else recommended fitting but after some juggling they went in a peech. sound proofing the doors made an instant improvement no more rattles. One thing i had to do was replace the entire wiring system for the ice that meant all new wires to all four doors they all fitted through the standard gromet with a little wd. All I had to do was turn it on !!!!!!!!!!!!! After this i had to port directly through the rear shelf. I have always had good sound systems in all of my cars but this takes the P}55. I have never had to refit so many parts to a car because the ice rattled it loose. number plate holder, plastic pins for the bumper ,rear tail light's and bulbs, rear wash wipe. ect ect ect. I had always thought this would be very heavy but it isnt 38kg in total and made hardly any difference to performance. any thoughts are welcome. Vince

Hi Everyone just like to say excellent site and forum. been reading now for months, this has meant the purchase of an 02 sti JDM GL model. Can anyone help with a problem with my Rear diff? I have a massive binding issue the lsd in the car almost prevents the rear wheel from being turned independantly this is causing major cornering problems "Massive under steer when acceleratng" then the opposite when de accelerating to the extent of a 1/4 of a turn of the steering to correct the under steer. I have had the car put on a ramp the front diff is fine acts as normal, but the rear is like as if it has been welded like we used to do in the old days, when you apply massive pressure they finaly move independantly I also have a very loud humming noise like all the bearings are shot. Any Advice will be great. Thanks
