  • The result:

    While my goal is to put a nice system in the car, I've found that leaks in the rear glass do more than just get stuff wet. I originally had a bandpass sub box in the trunk with two Rockford Fosgate S1 10" subs, but it seems that the combination of particle board, water and darkness were more than a colony of fire ants could resist, and they took up residence in the ports. I managed to save the speakers and amps, but the box was too far gone.

    I'm pleased to announce that ten thousand fire ants perished in agony.
