[DeTomaso] Subwoofer question

[Gray Gregory]

The flat firewall kit might not be too compatible with your idea as it
moves the alternator outboard of the a/c comp and takes up a great deal
of the space you're planning to use for the speaker cabinet. I would
suggest you look at a car with the flat fire wall and take some
measurements before proceeding.

Good luck,

Gray

I see nothing wrong with the idea; at one time, I considered adding a 
beer-case-sized box in that area with a key-lock door for an extra
amount of 
baggage-carrying, but I've got too much stuff in that area now on the
engine side. One 
Nor-CAl owner did much the same thing as you're suggesting, creating a 
shallow box that held the adjustment dials for his ignition amplifier
and the ECU 
for fuel injection. The box was centered behind the passenger seat & was
flush 
with the upholstering. If you want the addition more directly facing the
cabin 
so sound doesn't bounce as much, note that in the lower rear corners of
the 
cabin, there's a welded attachment for the big hoop structure  that
braces the 
roof, so when you cut the firewall, I'd suggest starting about 2" away
from the 
floor and right side (with seat & all upholstery removed), and nibble
your 
way to the edges but do not mess with the roof brace. Stainless brazes 
beautifully, so if done neatly, the structural integrity of the chassis
should be 
unaffected. The structure should also remain waterproof and fireproof,
too. Good 
luck- J DeRyke
