They are 10" WS6 by JL! They will be running off a 1000W Focal mono block. Getting the box ready now.

Nice!  Front facing, rear facing, sub floor, mounted to rear deck....what kind of box are you doing?

 

[SHOdded]

So will this qualify as percussive sound or concussive?

Lol SHOdded, downward facing into the spare tire well. Same as the old setup in the SHO. Stealth box setup. I'll snap some pics as I go through the install.

Box is in and sounds decent, the oem Bose amp is a PITA. Now all I need to do is find the correct carpet.

No launch control in a 2012, that would be my right foot lol. But seriously it is a lot better. Just stick 50lbs in the spare tire well and we are good to go!

A few updates, I did the Eibach springs, Airaid intake and just got in a set of F1 concepts rotors and pads.

Finally getting some time to mod now, oh and I got rid of the Indy 500 tires and went with a set of PS4. Soooooooo much better.

Keep us updated on how you like these most recent changes!  I hear good things about R1 kits, so hope it holds true for the V.

So I’ve had the R1’s in for a couple of days now, doesn’t feel any different from stock so far (which were really good). I still have a set of Red stuff pads in the rear on a different set of cross drilled rotors. The red stuff pads are noisy as hell, the R1’s in comparison are silent. I’ll definitely replace the rears with R1 once I get some more use out of them. I highly recommend the R1’s, and they look bad ass!
