It's a freakin toyota supra!! Look at the dash see how it surrounds the driver, and look farther see the surpa in the f&f scene. I thought it was an easy question

i drive a fucking civic, and make less than 30k a year, ive never even seen the inside of a supra.

an insight would be cool though.

Whoa partner...a properly installed 'glass enclosure will be lighter then any wood one you can build. Don't know where you heard that one, but the above is false...wood is much heavier.

looks like a supra....the dash is slanted towards the driverside.

not always. you have to back that fiberglass with something, you cant just lay sheets of it out and call it a day.

Actually, you can -- it's not that elementary, but you can build tons of things out of just glass...nothing else. A few layers of Knytex with the appropriate resin will be extrememly strong.

You can make a sub enclosure using 'glass that is only 1/8-1/4" thick if you design it properly (depending on the application of course).

I don't know if you have ever designed or worked with composites before, but you could make a box out of 90% fiberglass if you wanted to, and it would be extrememly light and you could use it as a jackstand.

Composites are a trade off in many aspects, but the main advantage is it's strength to weigth ratio....why do you think carbon fiber is so popular?!?

it seems like too many amps, but my gues is its 1 to each sub, then one to the front speakers, then one to the back speakers, or, some of them could be "dumbies" to make everything symetrical
