The speed6 seats don't "fold down" like my gfs mazda 6. What would you recommend as a pass through for the sound from trunk to cab?
Sorry I haven't updated this in quite some time and haven't checked it either.
Technically they do fold down, however your best bet is to remove the blose IB sub to give you an opening. Try building a box that fires towards the opening. The best way would be to find a way to essentially seal the front of the sub to the rear opening so the rear shelf becomes a baffle continuation for the subwoofer, but still have it in a box (not IB). I will be doing this myself sometime during this winter/spring but requires moving many things around to make it all fit nicely with minimal impact to trunk space loss.

Original 2" drivers were Tang Band W2-852 available at parts express or ebay. I built a secondary soundbar that is now using some ebay generic specials.
I have installed some tweeters but there are some issues that are less than ideal and I am thinking of ways to correct it but due to space limitations there are no good solutions, only medicore for now.
The ambiophonics (not to be confused with ambisonics) experiments are going well. There is some interesting developments in it a few months back that might help it gain popularity due to some folks in the electro-music world plus on-going research and development.
The 10" tangband subwoofers (great for midbass-not so much for subwoofer use) are located below the armrests in beefy enclosures. I removed or unattached the lower portion of the door interior to make space for them. I ran out of time to make them "look pretty" so they are quite ugly right now but serve their purpose. I have not posted pictures of these or any other developments lately. Perhaps I will.

i am throwing around the ideas of a dual core cpu for the audio processing and putting the os on a cf/ssd. do you think that either of these changes would adversely effect the overall goal of using the pc as the source unit and audio processor? aside from the audio processing, what are some of the other functions that your carpc serves?
I do not see any issues with doing that. Infact, brutefir for example can be ran off a USB memory stick. I am sure there are people running windows off CF drives. My carpc serves three basic functions, and not much else. Music server, audio processor, navigation...I guess an occasional video or DVD too when someone asks. I use a full size hardriver, non-optimized windows XP and it comes out of hibernation in 15secs usually by the time I back out of my driveway with the new AMD PC.
