Default FM with Kaminari & Custom Boxes

not trying to threadjack, so PM me if you dont want to talk abotu it here. But these are the first boxes I am happy with that I have seen. I might be interested if you could make 2 and ship them and have a decent price. ( i am sure I am not the only one that likes these) Can you get to the spare tire?

The boxes are pretty sweet... you could almost make a few bucks just producing and selling those babies en mass.

I'd strongly suggest running 8" wide tires with that kit... I think it'd work a little better,... it does look off without nice wheels though... almost needs 19's just to keep with the agressiveness, but you'd lose performance a bit.

Keep up with the good mods... the fiberglass looks like some good work!

I have had alot of people interested in purchasing the enclosures. I am willing to make them but I make them myself and they take time. The 12" were a pain in the ___ to do so I would prefer to only do 10" enclosures. The cost for materials is about $150 alone plus the cost of my labor and shipping. Each enclosure weighs about 40lbs. I would say around 400-500 for a pair of enclosures. If anyone is really interested pm me and we can discuss it. It would take about a month to make because I am a full-time student and have a full-time job.

Alright, so I'm going to be the first person to rip on your car. Don't get me wrong it looks good. I like the rims you want to get too, but I think the Kaminari kit with the mesh grills recessed so much looks a lot like one of the latest celica's. At least in the upper grille. The lower grille which is friggin huge on this car looks like the 98 Celica my brother drives. If you pulled the grilles up to the front of those openings you'd be looking much nicer. Almost bimmer ish...

But that's just my two cents. Other than that good work. The sub box isn't my style, but then again it's not my car. I still like it tho.

Well figure out how to bring the grills forward and I would love to have it look that way.

They are very crisp and clear. Just make sure you have subwoofers because the lows arent that great, but yet the kappas were not designed for much mid-bass.
