yeh lol, gotta love that about VL's. i've locked my keys in my car once or twice, just ask somebody else to borrow a key... straight open

by the looks of it the box for the subs isnt sealed, you might want to fix that or it will sound like shit.

you really should have a completely sealed box for your subs. would be worth sealing the top. also were that door is next to the sub holes, is that seperate from the sub box? or when you open that will you see the back of the subs? cause by the looks of the pictures it doesnt look that sealed.

what nish said about the door, looks unsealed...if uwanna spare, get a monaro spare

that sounds good. you dont want any holes with you sub box. have you gone and sealed it all with sillicon or just made it sit tight?

ummm hope you didnt cut the face plate hole for the subs at 12inches, cos it looks like you didt, and if so you will need to recut them smaller. and you didnt test fit the subs in the boxes before you fit them? hope they fit in :S. but good luck

huh i dont understand whats happening?

He is saying his wood board in the boot wich would of held all is subs and amps has actually got wet due to water coming through the boot seals when he thought he would go drifting with his mate and his door speakers popped out i would say due to heat i am guessing or just not having them in properly lol so he has had a ruff weekend.
