Re: How do you store your ttops (battsup)
HA! good luck.
for me it was........ Sub box, no t-tops or t-tops with crummy stereo.
I'm biting the bullet in a few months and getting an amplified bazooka tube. that way i can still store my t-tops

Re: How do you store your ttops (battsup)
only way to do it is to build a custom box....im designing a v-shaped fiberglass box right now to hold nos bottles and 2 10's and still allowing some room for the t-tops....not sure how itll turn out.....but thats ur only bet....and its not easy...

I'll try and get a picture of my setup that I just finished. The T-tops go under the sub box and the cover pulls over the box so nobody knows its there. I have a 10in sub and 2 6x9's mated to the box. The amp is hidden behind the box and has plenty of room for cooling. It looks good , i'll try and get a picture as soon as I can.

Re: How do you store your ttops (battsup)
i have a HUGE box that houses a 300 watt amp, 2-6x9's and an 8" sub...
its the size of a large suitcase and my t-tops fit under it along with lots of other stuff!... :yesnod:

not long ago we took it out of town and put 2 average sized suitcases on top of it as well...wasnt too good for listening to the tunes, but they fit!

Re: How do you store your ttops (SIGNGUY)
I really need to work on figuring out my elec interference problem, I am betting it is the MSD box. I have 2 10" subs in the Formula and it rocks so I will be bumming when I drive the vette, gotta have tunes! :cry

Who needs tunes? Aren't the rumble of the exhaust and all the other associated driveline sounds enough music in a Vette? :cheers:

I pulled the radio out of mine when I first got the car. (K-mart special) hadn't put one back in since. Love the sound of the car. :steering: :D

Re: How do you store your ttops (arrio76)
i understand the above comments about "who needs tunes?"...
when i bought the car the first thing i did was put a $1500 system in it and shortly afterwards i realized that i found myself never turning it on cause i too loved the sound of my car instead...
well...its been a year now and what i have found is that on short rides i almost never listen to it but on longer ones, especialy interstate trips, i DO listen to it...
we OFTEN take our vette on long rides...sometimes weekend getaways...and it IS nice to have then...
and i am the kind of guy that, if i am going to listen to a stereo, i want it to sound kick azz...
so as a result, i am glad i spent the $ on it although i dont really listen to it all that much either...
one side note about my speaker box is that i wish now that i would have made it 1" shorter in height as i can not pill my shade closed and now i wish that i could...

Re: How do you store your ttops (battsup)
you can see where it's notched to rest on the wheel wells. I did a test fit and it's nice and snug, doesn't move around much at all. I'm sure it won't budge one bit once it weighs 70lbs more :D
There is just enough room to squeeze the tops under it too, and they won't be moving either.
