It has been a while, I am overdue, so here we go

The new shallow 5 1\4 that will be replacing the other beefier and also to big 5 1\4. This is form the shallow line form massive audio. These little things are pretty. Massive knows how ot make things look good. And they are pretty damn shallow. You can also see the 6.5inch standing in the background. Sweet mid it is.




Here it is from behind, here is a discoloration that seems quite obvious in the pic, but I can't see it normally. I guess it's just the camera that is particularly detailed.


Like the ck series, the SK terminals aren't to exiting


Here is a close up of the cone. Very attractive. We can see the cap looks a bit odd, tha's because these can come in coax mode with a tweeter sitting in the place of the cap.


Here is a nice pic of the outgoing ck5, good looks once again and since I have 2 that aren't doing anything now, these might go into my kick pods for a 3 way front. Of course I would need yet another amplifier.

Now on to replacing it in the dash
The back of the panel doesn't look all that nice hehe.
You can see an extra screw sticking out. This is something we never hear about when guys talk about those hurricane\propel\T nuts, if those things decide to "un-catch" wile tightening or untightening..the screw shall always remain and is essentially un-removable. What a B@$%@!

In any case this thing fits right in.


It's to bad the grill hides the cone... the cone looks really good. Dark titanium like.

Now the panel fits perfectly. I am considering changing over all the brown fake wood trim to the textured black, I like ti but I am not sure, what do you guys think? Looks good or out of place?

I think the black looks better and actually classes the car up compared to the fake wood. Plus its somthing that only you would have and know isnt stock. I have a silver and black interior and have been asked a couple times, "is this stock or did you do it it looks great"
Thats what I was thinking when I first noticed the black

So I got one of these to help in the box building departement...however it seems like it's going to take me a while to set it up... looks like more then opening the box to get it up and running


So I temporarily ordered up some prefab box to hold me over as the system needs some subs.


This is the first cheep prefab the comes pre-wired with what looks like some bracing AND some sort of goop to seal the seams. I am pleasantly surprised.


HEre are some pics of the subs going in. Yup some more massive audio. These are a no longer in production line, not sure why I got these (guess because they were cheeper in price hehe), hopefully I end up happy with them. I do like some screw terminals on them making them easy to wire, unfortunetly they have some hex tops so they don't continu the tradition with their amps of star top screws.


I decided to take a pic of the rest of the massive gear that was laying around in the basement as well.
