Rubbing They are the exact same OD as the OEM wheels and have no rubbing issues at all. The ride may be a slight bit stiffer, but not much if at all. Handling is improved greatly! I will try to get a width and offset and post.

Box Price/Install I paid $345 for the box but that included freight to my front door. I live in Conroe and kinda figured that it would cost me more to drive than freight. Don't quote me on this, but I think that the shipping added about $60 to the price so the box would have been under $300...

Spl Not sure what it hits on the SPL, but I can tell you that it is hard to sit in it with it turned all the way up. I was showing a friend of mine and it hit so hard that my Escort radar broke in half off the rear-view mirror mount and fell into pieces on the dash. Hits as hard or harder...

I haven't seen many pics of 5th Gens w/ 22's & A/Ts on here so I thought I would post what I did with mine. With the 305's and the AWD the handling is great and the tire has a pretty agressive tread pattern.

Pic Quality Sorry the pics are a little weak. I took them with my phone. They don't do it justice. Check out the video link. His pics are much better.

Weight My guess it around 50# with the speakers installed.

You Tube Video of Box Build Anyone intersted in seeing the build on the box can watch this video he made. Alpine 8s - YouTube

Had this box built by a guy in Arlington, TX. Rhino lined and accent painted to match the body. The sound is amazing and it is often mistaken for MUCH larger speakers. I highly recommend this guy for anyone wanting a custom enclosure.

I had a custom flare ported box built that was tuned to 38 htz. With the 8's wired at 2ohms the 500 watts is WAY more than enough. I used an AudioControl PS2i for the line converter and anything past half way on the knob is ridiculous. Nobody can believe it's only two 8's. I highly recommend...

2011 Limited AWD w/ 22" Cooper Zenon LTZs, Mesh Grille, Alpine Drop Down TV, Two Alpine Type R 8's w/ ARC Audio 500.1 mini. Next mod will be a leveling lift.
