G'day guys how are we all? I'm from Australia and I'd like to show you my daily/project/red whore of a car which I'm going to attempt to deconstruct with bass. It is a Holden Commodore, VY SS model sedan.

I'm still saving and sourcing parts for my system, so far I have bought:

twin shok elite x 12s
dd m3 mono
alpine mrv f450 4channel
an atrend drop in box ported for 36 Hz (temporarily).

I'm researching 4th order enclosures at the moment and will attempt to build a 3 chamber single reflex enclosure to suit my car in the near future.
I'm still looking at options for head unit and speakers, I'm liking the clarion cz702a deck the more I look at it and I've had the morel maximo 6.5 components and coaxials recommended to me for my budget.
I'm not chasing dreams of glory in spl competitions but I would like to be able to do hair tricks and make girls go sticky Haha. I'm wondering if I'd be better off just building a ported enclosure instead of going all fancy as I'm basically just going to use my stereo to play music at antisocial noise levels and wiz people off at traffic lights.
Cheers for looking and any advice given!
I'll post pics soon as I'm at work on my phone :-)

I recommend upgrading the Big 3 (see Hot Topics forum) and look into a high-output alternator for your vehicle.
