Thanks guys!!

were 195-45s with the std g60s, an 165-50 bridges with the nimbus ones. tbh might go back to the 195s soon as im not into the skinny rears, found uniroyal rainsports sit well and dont buldge that much.

on the pics im not running any spacer, but since then i've added some 20mm spacers on the rear an they sit a little more flush, think i need another 10mm each side to look right.

It need the adjusters taking out tho, but last time i check they were seized solid :(

Guess i can just add some heavier amps :D

have been looking at these:

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/diamond-au...308-p-7088.html

but hopefuilly i might be able to stretch my budget a little for some jl's or something.

tbh i might get a local audio place to sort it, as i dont mind doin a simple square box myself. But i think this is a little bit more difficult lol, been told its pretty hard gettin twin 8's to work nice :(

BTW is there any1 on here that can make me some mdf speaker rings, as i dont like the plastic ones???

Bit of a change of plan with the install, Found out we couldnt get a twin 8" system to work in the lupo boot without porting it. So i didnt really have the space.

So changed it round to a 10" Hertz in a tuned sealed box, Heading more down the SQ way now.

Im a bit gutted as its not gonna look anything special tho :(
