I have a front wheel drive 1994 Mitsubishi eclipse, that i want to convert to rear wheel drive. I also race these cars on dirt track (Eclipse/lasers/talons)
i have a theory. If i took the rear axle out of an all wheel drive 1994 Eclipse, and put it in my car, braced the frame, and welded everything secure, technically, if i did the work myself, could i do this fairly cheap? i can always get a custom drive shaft, if the exhaust needs moved, no problem was putting a dual one on anyways... any oppinions?

You will need the trans out of an all wheel drive unit also in order to have the transfer case portion that delivers power to the rear wheels.... and you would have to create some type of dummy shaft/axles for the front wheel drive portion of the gear box.... etc....etc...

For the cost of a donor car and all the trouble, just sell the whole thing, get a all wheel drive Eclipse and disconnect the front drive shaft.

Making it into an FR is going to be a BIG headache and require a LOT of custom fabrication, not cheap by any means. I'd suggest just getting a FR car, such as an RX-7 or maybe a Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest

Just so you know....
First off, NEVER go by Peak or MAX watts.
Peak or MAX power is an arbitrary number with no real standard of measurement.
RMS (Root Mean Square) is also the thermal limits set forth by the manufacturer as the continuous power a sub can handle before failure. Ideally you don't want to exceed the RMS rating by more than 10% at the impedance load.
Set the gain right and forget it.
The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp.
Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621
You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.
If you don't have Excel, e-mail me and I'll send you a condensed version sparky3489@yahoo.com

Sound good to me, I hope you are not going to drive this thing on the freeway tho. As for the drive shaft you can cut it or make it larger, sounds like you know how to weld. Good luck
