What do YOU want?

We are having an FRS stay with us for about a week this month (will arrive in a few weeks) and we want to know what YOU would like to see us create for the interior.

We already have a vehicle specific enclosure for a 10" subwoofer and already plan on casting the mold for an 8" enclosure as well.

We want to know what else the FRS/BRZ community is interested in for the audio system and interior. If there is enough interest in certain items, we will do our best to research and create something the week that we have the FRS here.

How about a box for a single sub that you can mount an amp to with ability to quickly remove for track events? Some kind of quick release system, preferably tool-less

Here's your power and ground quick disconnect.

As for mounting the amp, that would depend on the footprint of the amp. My JL A6450 is about 18 inches long, a similar power Alpine PDX-5 is only about 10.5 inches. If they could source a DC plate amp it might work.

Can't find the box on your site. And why does the photo gallery require facebook? I can't see your work! And I sure as hell won't get a FB account, ever!

Here's the link to the enclosure build.

I'll have to work on getting the pictures up on our website. Our Facebook is updated daily and we have quite a following, so that's where most of the pictures go.

I certainly understand that, thanks for the link, I knew I'd seen it but couldn't find it again.

Possibly a dual or single sub enclosure that fits in the spare tire area?

In keeping with @kmbkk's idea, an amp rack for under the rear parcell shelf might be a good product to. Please keep in mind I haven't looked to see if there's enough room.

I made my other suggestion in a previous thread, but I'll repeat it here just in case. I'd like a box to house a 12 in the trunk.

Audio-wise, maybe some small tweeter pods that mount/clip to the OEM a-pillars in various diameters, maybe 1.0", and 1.25, and 1.5" ?... Something small to not obstruct view, but simple and clean without looking bulky.

An enclosure or something to squeeze some 8" woofers where the rear speakers live... One for each side. THAT would be killer. Even if the interior panel needs to be modified, I think it would sell.

Non-audio-wise... A single-din radio trim plate with 2-3 gauge pod fittings.
