I don't think you'll even be able to get 3cubicfeet out of the trunk even using the spare tire well lol
i took some measurements after those pictures and did some figuring. I can fit about 1.66 cubes, after displacements from a useable port size and tuning, on top of he carpet against the seat and flush with the trunk opening... No idea if that can fit through the opening though. 28x17x10.75 outside dimensions. Basicly enough for one good 12 ported if the mounting depth from top mount is under 10 inches.
I'm always worried too much bass will wiggle things loose like screws, especially in the sunroof glass. I had a jeep with two 15's and the previous owner blew out his sunroof once and back window twice. You'd think he would learn after the first time but after the third I guess he decided to sell them to me. Most my money is in the door speakers so I hate to cancel out the music with too much bass. There's too much rattle without any music anyway!

Swapped in a pair of LED headlights (H4) to replace the fog/highs
I know the yellow is preferable for fog and rain but I'm rarely ever in those weather conditions
These are definitely brighter than the halogens. With the halogens I could hardly tell when the fogs were on and the highs were not all that much better either.
I have a few more different sets on their way, with varying price tags, that I'll be trying out soon between my G our other cars. I was pretty impressed with these (being the cheapest with Chip on Board) so I'm intrigued to see the output on the sets with CREE and Osram chips.
Edit: forgot the beam patterns - These being COB the cut off is not as precise as the single CREE or Osram chips would be, but still not too bad. Tested from a distance sitting in another car and there's no glare or dazzling.
HID, Fog, Highs
Today I had an appt in Charleston that I turned into a proper roadtrip and hung out with a buddy.
Bonus points to the first one to ID the wheels on the Porsche.
Oh and BTW on a 40 roll I destroyed that 997. (On a hwy deep in Mexico....we were the only ones around)
The wheels are from a 996, possibly even that 996.2 in the picture. I suppose it could be a .1 as well that had the lights (and bumpers?) swapped over. It's not a 997 though.
LEDs do not belong in headlights (besides auxiliary bulbs).

Did you learn anything today Bart?
........whyy
A lot of manufacturers actually have LED headlights now as OEM, although yes, they are different with specialised lenses etc. But.... there are major automotive lighting brands like Philips who make LED headlight bulbs to replace halogen, companies like Philips wouldn't invest into these if they didn't belong in headlights.
If the entire assembly is engineered around the lamp then YES they belong. Swapping lamps from one type to another is just a recipe for disaster though reflection, refraction issues happen, heat dispersion, current draw (or lack of), etc.

You are correct I'm sure on the model of 911, my head spins on all the later cars .1, .2 versions. .etc. For me it's 964 or nah
Except the GT2s and. GT3s
I was referring to the not stock wheels on the 911..and yes he did swap the rear bumper, don't know about anything else, other than muffler delete and intake on that car.

Man o man...you can't start a contest and not know the answer! Negative points!!

Read his reply above.
Ever heard of the customer is always right? Companies make stuff that sells.
Led assemblies from new cars use Chips designed for that projector or in very rare cases reflector. You can’t remove it from that headlight without bringing the whole assembly to a new headlight.
Led drop in bulbs don’t work in halogen housings like HID don’t either because they are designed completely different for output.
Just don’t drive with your fogs on because they blind everyone. You would fail an inspection if you had one in your county.
