Looks good, let us know how that goes. 

 

Would be interesting in upgrading mine if there was one that was good.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Shiv.

Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Check the resistance values on the original man. The B4 mac stuff was all 6 ohm. Putting 4 ohm gear in will put the amp into overdrive, possibly blowing it eventually. It will be louder, not sure on how noticeable it will be.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.

MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

I've read a bit from the liberty.asn boys and they haven't run into any issues with over working the stock amp.

Unfortunately the MB Quart requires a spacer which I had a feeling it might. The existing hole may need slight trimming aswell as both sets of terminals just foul. So if anyone is interested in using this speaker as an upgrade, it definitely isn't a straight swap.

The MB Quart sub is going to be quite inefficient in comparison so it will definitely benefit from a bigger amp.

I love those BBS CH wheels, one day my precious one day.... and hopefully the spacer for the sub will make it sit right: )

A monoblock is something I've considered, just need to do a little more research to find out how to add it to the existing setup. When it comes to car audio, I have next to no experience or knowledge haha

Existing setup is a PITA. everything goes under the passenger seat and has its own loom/plug configuration. there are wiring pinouts but I refuse to touch it until something stops working on mine!

You can get high to low level converters that will do that job nicely. I used to run one in my B4 for a while. Unplug the stock sub and put the high/low converter there, then run your mono block off that. You'll still need to run power wiring, but it'll sort out your signal no dramas.

Yeah just read something like that over on liberty.asn. seems fairly easy so 8 might have to get myself a monoblock amp.
Just need to source myself an 8" 3/4" thick MDF speaker ring.

Did the sub come with a drawing or cut out? Might be easier to make it yourself with a jigsaw.

Bugga. Tried making your own? Do you have anything you can use to measure the two diameters you'll need?

Nope. Found a few online but they are from the states so i might just grab some of them. Probably work out cheaper by the time I buy the material and equipment needed to make the rings.

Will give Marks DIY front lip repair a crack on the weekend and I'll hopefully have an Invidia Q300 CBE in my possession by the end of next week :)

V2 Q300? If so you are going to love it. I can make mine crackle so well on over-rev/run!

It'll all be covered anyway so you won't notice the work you've done. ;)

Yeah covers back on which is a bonus. I wasn't sure when mounting the speaker whether the cover would fit back on. I can now crank the bass to 6 without any distortion and the volume can go to about 35 now (depending on the song) where as the stock MacIntosh sub maxed out at about 26

NOISE. V1 is very loud. V2 loops back on itself in the muffler, much better for day to day
