Not sure if I like the angle, but I might just deal with it... (Fountek FR88EX going in due to the 101 just being huge and likely won't extend up high enough)
I'm really looking forward to your impressions on how these sound. I've
got to come up with a small mid/tweet set up in the 2 1/2-3" range for
my kicks. I have looked at these, they do look the part.
If the angle doesn't suite you, rather than cut the angle that the speaker
sits on you could change the dash angle pretty easiily.
ANYWAY, though not all aspects of this install are my tastes I do have to
give you props for going WAY outside the box. Sorry for the poontang ref.
Oh, no worries man... I can have a laugh with the best of them... It's just this stuff is WAY WAY too soft to be referenced in the the "bush" as that shit's usually like a blackberry bramble..
Take the softest little long hair puppy you've ever felt and x5... chicks love it.. lol.. My theory is most chicks like the bush too.. they just need the right "circumstances" (that's an OT discussion)

And you are 100% correct, another cut or 2 and I should get a more on axis angle...
Also, thanks for looking past the parts you don't care for, I know FULL WELL, I'm doing things other won't/don't care for... it's part of the whole thing, I like doing things that make others feel "uncomfortable" just to slap you and get you out of your "norm"
But in the heart of it all, I'm trying my damnedest to make something that will look/sound/feel good to everyone... Me first though....

I like it. If you started chopping the angle you might even mount that to the pillar, providing the strength to hold it is there. I once near bought the fostex 85s for that but got busy with other things and never did.

Oh, if I get a chance to listen to it in person....I will rub those furry walls to see how soft it is.

Dame how heavy is the trunk lid now. That is some interesting application strategy.

Not as heavy as my old lid, yet....

Things were so simple in the old days....we got an old muscle car that was loud, we simply built a system that was louder than the car lol. I did always double up on the floor insulation, most of those cars the floor got hot and the exhaust was loud...well everything was loud.

Please post impressions on the sludge trunk lid. I am anxious to see if there is noticable improvement.
I can already tell a huge difference overall... BUT, I've got more than 1/4" of SOFT spectrum in places that's going to take a day or 3 to harden in the sun... I expect things will tighten up and deaden down ever more as that happens...
The difference is like an empty coffee can, to a full one right now...

I really really really miss having a boost gauge in my dash.
Baffle looks great, even though its not fuzzy. You can paint that plastic and it will hold out pretty good unless you wear on it, such as dragging your hand over an edge every day. I had an old T/A I painted the entire console and that was soft vinyl, it worked out great I even filled burn holes in it.

Yeah, boost is fun.. .paint, not so much... lol...
Got more done today...
Wheel wells trimmed out...
Baffle installed...
Finished filling the trunk lid... 1 full gallon of Spectrum into it so far...
