I have a C70 Coupe that I am building an SQ comp system in and I have had some interesting challenges. Getting 10ga to the doors since there is no grommet and no room in the molex plug, running cables and wires to the trunk and getting the rear seat back off, running 0ga( I had to go UNDER the car instead of in the car), but the car had a lot of deadening in it from the factory which made it a little easier. Yes, the speaker wires through the door grommets just don't happen lol. I ended up running mine into the door panel directly from inside the car. Doesn't look the best, but it does the job. And the deadening thing is so true, I'm very happy for that.

How many days? I get paid either Friday or Monday, that's still May! lol.

How difficult are you finding it to do audio stuff in your volvo? Lol. I'm not sure how far you have gotten into it, but atleast with my car (Volvo S40) it is always a ridiculous challenge.

It's been a while! My computer decided to die a while ago, so I've been on my laptop. I finally figured out what was wrong with it and sent out the part for a warranty replacement. I did end up deadening the roof that day, I'll get some pics up later. Unfortunately I did not take into account that there is a sun roof tray, so I didn't get to deaden as much as I wanted. Also, the headliner will not come out in one piece in my car (yay Volvo! lol) unless you take out the back window. Space was tight and I couldn't get the stuff where I wanted. It did help though, it got rid of some annoying squeaks and rattles, so I am satisfied for now. The only thing I'm worried about is for when I get the 15's, roof flex might kill my sunroof/roof. I'm probably going to have to figure out some bracing, but I'm not ready for that yet. Still saving up to get the SAZ-3500D before the sale ends. Hopefully I'll have enough. Unfortunately that won't be that interesting for you guys until I get my speakers with my next paycheck 3 weeks from now lol. Just thought I'd give a quick update and explanation for my sudden disappearance lol. I'll post the pics up in a bit.

Just remember to be careful with the volume knob and know the woofer's limitations and it should be fine. Good luck! I've had a great experience with mine.

I would definitely recommend it. If you want to take it a step further, you can get mass loaded vinyl and make a sound barrier for the door. I wanted to do this, but MLV is kind of pricey. I forgot to mention it before, but I had NO midbass before. It was depressing how crappy it was lol. After doing this, my current speakers sound 5 times better. I am blown away by how different the sound is. It just makes me more excited for when I get the AA Carbon fiber mids

Thanks! I'm hoping to do the roof today. Too bad it looks like it's going to rain
