It's a 16oz filet of sarcasm with a pile of steamed sarcasm and a side salad of sarcasm.

I knew you were putting the Bose speakers in, just didn't think the sub was following, too. Figured the amp was for the speakers.
Post a pic of the sub!

Nice. I used to follow them when they were racing Grand Am, and go figure I end up working for one of the drivers 7 years later haha.

.

.

Little update here, been making progress on the multiple projects Ive got going on with the car lol.

Got the Steering rack parts back from powdercoat and cleaned up the resivior. Like night and day compared to before



.

.

I also modified the mounting bracket to make the resivoir sit lower to clear the hood





.

.

Made some progress on finishing the audio setup too. Heres the comparison of the front Bose speaker (right) and the stock EP3 speaker.



.

.

And sound insulation for the door panels

Looks great, E. I need to pick up a good head unit and then install my Diamond Audio Hex 6.5" Components in my doors. I want to pick up new OEM A-pillars that don't have the OEM tweeter grills in them. I'm still undecided if I'd want to mount the tweets in the a-pillar, or in the doors. If they go in the pillars, I'll just use the Diamond tweeter mounts instead of trying to make it fit in the OEM grills.

Can't wait for this to be all done!

I'm with you on the sound deadening, bud. I'll be tackling my xB over the course of the next few months with sound control in mind. Also... the bracket for your P/S reservoir needs some sort of coating, as I'm sure you're aware.

Nice, my cousin has also gotten the sound bug with his 97 hatch, hes working on putting some supplies together but who knows if he will ever actually start the project let alone finish it. Hes had a pair of Hella horns for the car for 3 years now, still arent installed lol. As far as the bracket goes im going to have it powdercoated with the next batch of stuff that goes out from the race car.

Its the power steering res homie! After doing alot of thinking Ive decided that if/when I get a strut bar it will be a neuspeed.

Yeah. I want to keep them at about the same height as OEM. But I also want to see what Diamond recommends as well.

The Neuspeed bar was def one of my favorites for the DC5/EP3.

Yeah its the only solid bar for the EP3. It sucks that there is really no other design that will work with the stock airbox in place. I had a nice design thought up similar to what Im making for the DC5 but that airbox is right in the way

I peeled it off the carpet from the DC5

I'm really just looking to make the cabin environment more relaxed. Hearing road noise in my commuter is rather over-rated. Its not a fast car at all, so it needs something to make it special. I figured making it look and sound nicer, whilst being a solid commuter car, was a solid goal. I'm talking with the guys over at Raamaudio for the sound deadening I plan on using. It should make the xB rather quiet inside. I'm still tossing the idea of upgrading the speakers, but I'm waiting until I finish the interior deadening before I make that financial commitment. I'll still probably pick up the Bazooka tube that was made for the xB, though. Just for the funsies!

The EM2 may get some sound deadening as well, but I'm not sure how much noise will be in the car after all the work I have in store for it. Maybe it won't need it.
