as am I but not to the extreme in the MINI as you.

Post the comment about the 69 lb batteries on the MININUTS and watch the fun

 

oh ill post pics when i get them in a month

 

damn im good!!!!

4x amps - 64 lbs
2x batteries - 138 lbs
4x 6.5" mids - 40 lbs
12x 6.5" mids - 42 lbs
16x tweets - 16 lbs
1x sub - 62 lbs
1x box - 137 lbs

total - 499 lbs

reason theres "4" mids and another set of "12" mids, 4 of them in the wall are one brand, the 12 mids between the front two doors are another brand, the ones in the wall are 10lbs each!!!! the others are 3.5lb each


but as of now its 499lbs, not bad. and really, in the boot is only going to be the amps and batts, might even put the batts in the front of the box behind the rear seats.

now, theres more that needs to be accounted for.

the front and rear "beauty panels" that will make it look like a wall, and will seal off the front cabin from the rear, the front will be 3/4" birch for sure, the back i might do 1/4" or 1/2". no need for 3/4", only reason i need it up front is becuase i have to make the sub flush mounted and it needs 3/4".

not sure how much thatll add, but also, 0 gauge wire. all i know is 50' is heavy as *****, since all the batteries are in the back, i dont need alot of wire. i might upgrade the wire from the alternator from factory 4 gauge (i think its 4 ga) to 1/0.


i could have used MDF Trupan ultra light wood, which is LIGHT AS HELL ive heard, but its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. the birch was 26 a sheet, its lighter than MDF which is 22 a sheet, i would have used the ultra light and my box would have been under 90lbs easy, but i was given 2 4x8 sheets of the birch for free, so i went with that lol.

 

Well there you have it get the Megans your fixed for the suspension !

help!! what u think i should get???? the enkei's are a little more.

ENKEI ZR2:



Konig Hotswap: (the spokes would be black if i get them)

 

+1

 

i ordered the 18" konig hotswaps

 

dont over look BC BR series coilovers very good results and a GREAT price ..

They can be ordered with 8k or 5K springs


Just also to add when pushing the limit of drop and width be VERY sure to check ALL 4 wheels for clearance.

I have seen some subframes off 1/2" or MORE
so ... hey this looks and fits ... the other side can have issues

Even the front can vary if you are really pushing things

I am LOW ...

my race tires are 225 / 40 17
and on one side with a 10 mm spacer all is good ... the other side rubs

Check check drive a bit an RE check

 

nice, i just looked at your pics in the gallery, lookin good.

my rims will be here next week, ill put those on, then what im gonna do is get all my system finished next week i hope, and get all that weight in, and then i can see how it sits, and decide on coilover then.

 

I'm putting $10 on the wheels will crack. All that weight + 18" plus a spindly wheel....something about those wheels just scares me.

 

na they wont crack, theres people running 24 12s or 15s in vans, all that weight, amps, 14+ batteries, MDF, etc....on low pro tires and rims....no issues....Konig is a good brand, i dont think ill have a problem
