I read this thread but I don't post very much. I live in Cedarburg and I drive a GG 05 MR. I have seen a few other EVOs in the area...anyway...

Can anyone recommend someone locally who can do cam installs? I had a clutch installed by AMS last week and I asked about labor for a cam install and it is $275. Just wondering if there is someone local who might be cheaper.

Thanks,

Matt
Welcome! You should try to come out to the Buffalo Wild Wings meets once in a while. I know it's a fairly long drive from Cedarburg, but even diamondjaxx makes it up from Racine once in a while... well, once in a long while.

Anyway, I sent you a PM about the cam install. Which cams did you get?

Unless there is a tweater built into the sub, i dont see why anyone would put those in the rear speaker onpenings. It would kill the surround sound.

no one ever really rides in the back with me. Talking with a local installer here he recommends this because i want more bass because of the music i prefer to listen to. then we would put JL components up front with a 75x4 JL amp powering everything.

the though behind the set up front seats would get great sound but i would have more bass without having a box in teh trunk.

I wanted to hear a set up like this though before I did it.

Sounds like an interesting idea, but subs are designed for a specific enclosure size. I am sure your trunk is not that size so I really wonder how well they will respond. Also, the trunk is far from sealed. There are other openings around those speaker openings and the seat allows a reasonable amount of air passage. Plus, the one way vents under the bumper open to the outside and I would expect they would vibrate even more with this setup than they would with a box.
All that said, I too would be interested in hearing it.

JL calls the a 6.5 but they really measure 7 inches. it would involve a spacer between the deck and the subs. it would allow for full movemet of the subs. they technically would "hang" below the factory opening but would allow sound. it would look factory except from inside the trunk. I guess worse case scenerio if i dont like it im only out a couple hundred bucks for teh subs.
