will one fit mitch? and thx kenny, it was time intensive. couldnt just slap em on and be done. i took the speaker grills back out and touched up the edges, made sure all stickers were lying down, and then spray bomb cleared the **** out of them. i am pleased with the look now. like its one big vinyl covering instead of some ghetto assed stickers. hopefully i will lay hands on my dampers today. idk when i will have the time (or motivation for that matter) to put them and the master cylinder on. got a pair of kenwood 12's, but im only gonna use one. i dont listen to rap or r&b, just metal and classic rock. hate that boomy noise that all the high school kids have. anywho, stay tuned. u never know what i will do next...
About the subs, definitely go with a box that is sealed and a bit on the small side of manufacturer's specs. Should get the sound you want.

thx for the advice, i want the sound quality and "feel" i guess you would say, but not that annoying **** that carries for two miles. i dont feel it necessary to force my choice in music upon my neighbors. besides, they wouldnt understand opeth anyways...

^thx man, i appreciate it. i think one more coat of clear and i will be satisfied. i would imagine i used far less stickers than what it looks like. i cheated with that book i bought. the best way is to take large stickers that u arent fond of, and use them as a base. cover as much area as u can without overlapping the big ones. trim everything that hangs over the edges off with some trauma shears (lulz) and an xacto knife, then use the stickers that u like the best as sort of a collage. save ur faves as like the attention grabbers and lay them last, that way they arent obscured. i like the man with blue hair and the weird synthesizer thing so i left him uncovered on my pass side spkr cover. all in all, i would say i used maybe 90-1110 stickers to do both covers. still have lots of stickers left! book had 280 in it!
Just giving you a hard time lol

^agreed scott. i think its as bombed as its gonna get. anyways, i may be trading it this week for a DA like i have always wanted. 93 model, so its obd1. http://www.mautofied.com/listing-100337326.htm
thats the link. mind you, im keeping my new dampers (which i read would fit the teg as well as any ef save 88 models), head unit, and rimz. i love love love DA integras, and have wanted one for years. this one will serve the purpose of project car a little bit better than the rex. i know its personal preferrence, but the teg is better looking by a wide margin. also, its a bit more practical. hopefully, if finances ever materialize, i will paint it aztec green like my old ej2. i need input on this from everyone. opinions? personal experience? do it? dont? go eff myself? help Brent!!!
