For some reason, something on this site has frozen IE twice while trying to reply to your post. Hopefully it works this time.
I have no distortion from my rear speakers. Perhaps you have your bass turned up too high to compensate for the lack of a sub. I have emailed expert fab to alert him to this post so hopefully he responds soon. Be aware though that the cost of the box is a bit higher then any prices you posted. It is worth it though. BTW, the Kicker solos are far superior to Sonys and I am running the 450w version which is just sick.
I'm not entirely sure what you wanted as far as the tint goes, so here is a general pic of my car.

Hey man. Thanks for posting this stuff. I look forward to the info from Exp Fab. Nice looking car. I'm excited to hear the kicker if it's as good as you say it is. I'm definitely OK with paying more if it is a quality product, made with love.
but im just wondering what your other bumper stickers say, and where you got them?
thanks

Wow nice install Flr Fyr Ftr!! I love that radio too! I am still making boxes but only on a as needed basis. They take way too much time to pay ebay fees on and sit on them for a week or two before they sell. The box itself is 300.00 and the woofers are on sale for 64.00 for the L5 Kicker. The box takes me 2 to 3 days to make and the materials are quite expensive. Thats why they cost 300.00. Flr Fyr Ftr went a lil crazy with his and put a L7 in it. A L5 does quite well. Watch Flr Fyr Ftr's video and you'll see what his can do. About 200 watts of honest power does a good job with the L5 woofer. This is the only stealth box available for the insight. I also finish them in black urathane and use polyfill inside as well as high quality gold plated banana jacks. There is 3/4 inch MDF glassed right in while building the box for the woofer mounting surface. A LOT of time and design was spent creating this box,it fits like a glove. There is a rather long build thread on me making these here on the forum if you do a search. Not the group buy thread but the original. My direct email is Azenis29@aol.com , I don't check the forum a lot because I am very busy lately. Fly Fyr Ftr's car has the biggest baddest system in a Insight I have seen yet to date. Ask him about his video and him driving under a monster truck! I also have 2 throttle ckt's left. Hating ebays listing fees so I havnt listed things in a while. Between ebay and paypal you can get hit with 20% fees!!
Ok Im liking that greenhybrid sticker too! I want one! I think Flr Fyr Ftr should buy a few and post them for sale here..I absolutely will buy one. Love the tint also ,what percentage is that? The enormous back window lets in a ton of heat and here in N.C. it gets super hot 95+ in June,July and August. Im a yankee so the heat kicks my butt.
Hey! There he his. The sticker you refer to is available at cafepress.com for $4 I believe. The other is also there but my own design as mentioned in another thread of mine (sorry, IE crashed again so unable to search). Thanks for all the compliments! dhotwagner, I have installed the most powerful speaker this box will hold and then overpowered it by 10% and it took it in stride. This is a quality box and it gets my thumbs up!
BTW, my tint is only 35% but it really does look dark from the outside

Ok thats great news. I have a whole box of 35% just waiting for the time to tint my Insight. I bought a 100' roll online. I now make boxes for Miatas,Insights,Civics,Accords and have 2 universal designs. I also make quarter scale R/C boat hulls powered with zenoah engines. I have 2 models of those. Real shame I can't post any new pictures. IC limits the amount you can post.
