New rack, just needs to be carpeted:

Before:

After (the LOC and blue RCA will be tucked somewhere):
[ATTACH]83511[ATTACH]

Is that a ported 12?

I'm jealous, but I use my trunk too often. I had a 15" in my last car.

I have a 10 with a corner box now. Haven't hooked it up though. Trying to find a new HU I'll be happy with. Hoping my amps will fit under the trunk liner.

No, its sealed, about 1 sq ft inside after sub displacement.

The space it consumes isnt so bad after this new rack, it takes probably 40% of my space, and I still have the ability to put the backseats down and fit a large item if I need to.

I used to have a really loud system when I was 17-18 but nothing since then. This single 12 is more than enough bass, it hits harder than I thought was possible from a single 12 in a sealed box. It allows me to keep the gain low so the amp never even gets warm.

Finished the carpeting today and elevated the amp for better cooling

New wheels installed.
255/35R18 DW on 18X9.5 +40 TE37SL. Meaty square setup.
and did a new alignment at AZP install.

Cambers are -1.9 front, -1.7 rear.
a little bit toe in rear(+0.08) and a tiny toe out (-0.01)front.

The car handled like an animal !!!
I love it and it is sooooo much better than my last setup and the factory setup.

The 255 DW tires are not too wide at all.

The weight is 23lb for every tire and 18lb for every rims.

So there is only 41lb at every corner, which is even lighter than factory 41.5lb 215 setup.

Had a blow out on Friday.

WHO THE FUCK KNEW REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR THESE FUCKING CARS WERE SO GODDAMN EXPENSIVE?!

$190 for these piece of shit Primacy's. Its still cheaper than $500 for a set of something that doesn't gargle sweaty monkey balls, but I am fucking CHAFFED to have to shell out for that.

[dbrandt01]

Filled up, got my best MPG of 30.6
According to Fuelly.com and hand figuring it came out to the same numbers.

Could have gotten a lot of high performance tires for less. I thought the stock tires were cheap, like around $100. Must have gone up.

Yeah and I don't even look at the gauge in the car.

When mine blew out I got replacement 225/45R17 high-performance all-season Toyo Extensa (?) tires for about $220 for the rears. That was FUN! Wwwweeee!!!!

Stock tires are fine for what they are coming with the car, but I'd never replace them with like again. Plus they're Low Rolling Resistance and I think that jacks up the price too.

Warranty replacement depending on age/mileage on the tires.

Also, you can get a set of OEM wheels AND tires for $500.

Warranty doesn't apply to puncture wounds from road debris - which this definitely was. Unfortunately, no defect, just bad luck.

The car has about 3000 miles. If it weren't for other expenses this month (engagement ring), I'd have said, "FUCK IT," and plunked down for a set of Pilot Sports.

To add to the hilarity, no shops or dealerships (Toyota or Subaru) in the area (Seattle) stock this tire. They were all asking ~$240 for the tire (without install) with 3 - 5 days of lead time. I ordered from Tire Rack for $190, $15 shipping and delivery on Wednesday.

I'm lucky to have a DD so I don't have to worry about limping around on the donut.
