Levi, I sure hope so but I really doubt it. It won't take long to put back together, but I have to rely on a joke of a business that couldn't give a damn about me.

Superchargerrebuild.com really screwed me on the parts. I talked to this guy half a dozen times before I ordered to make sure I was getting all the right parts and then when I find out I got the wrong part all he tells me is to order another from his website. Not a care in the world. They don't even have a phone number to call and he refused to call me even tho in all our emails exchanged yesterday I put my number and asked him to call me. Horrible customer service. Guy was very rude and clearly did not give a f*** that he had sent me the wrong part or inconvenienced me. He made me buy another seal and told me he would send me the correct one when he get this one back, so I guess I'll have an extra seal because he won't credit me and I can't wait a week to ship the bad one back and wait on a new one.

Wow, that is a horrible way to run a business! Best of luck Jake, you need it.

I don't think I've seen crossovers installed next to the amp like that before. Must've been a pain running the wiring back to the doors from there. I remember how hard it was just to get one pair through that door grommet...can't imagine what two pairs must've been like.

When I did mine, I seem to recall mounting the crossover in that plastic hollow area inside the door panel. I also wedged the amp in above the fuel tank. Can't believe it hasn't overheated...

On a side note, what ever happened to that old Civic you had? Did you sell it? Or has it been put on the back burner?

Yeah, most people put the crossovers in the doors. I always like to put them where I can easily access them for tuning and adjustment if needed. Back when I bought these speakers new they were $500, they're not you're run of the mill set. You can probably get them a bit cheaper now. They are the best quality speakers I've ever owned.

The 79 civic is gone, I sold it a while ago. It would have taken me 10 years to get that car where I wanted it, it needed a lot of work and I didn't have the time, nor did I want to put that much time into that car. I'd rather put that time into something else, which I still haven't found yet.

Got the wire in yesterday and got it ran.
I used a JL distribution block and tapped it right into the wire going to the fuse block to keep it clean. Yes, my car is filthy.

Got the supercharger back together with the new seals and on the car.


Also trimmed my crossmember a tiny bit to make more clearance for the oil drain line
