| RE: Install Pictures! Ok......I've had my stuff installed for a long time now but all I did at first was just throw it in there thinking I'd make it look better later. Well later came and went and I still haven't done it. So, any suggestions on making it look better or more stealth but still keeping the trunk functional?

| RE: Install Pictures! I had your same dilemma. Since it's my daily driver, I need to get at the spare and battery in an emergency. I used 2" builders foam sheeting and traced out the dimensions using the trunk mat, my amp and cap then cut out that portion with a jigsaw. I also hollowed out a channel underneath for the wire run, and covered everything with gray flannel using spray adhesive. Where the cd deck is and on the opposite side I cut and made hinges with duct tape under the flannel so it would fit without having to bend it. I lose 2" of trunk height but it isn't really noticeable. If I have to get at the trunk stuff, I just pull out the sub box and lift off the foam panel. I'm going to cover all with Plexiglas this week, just trying to figure out ventilation. (kitandsub007.jpg) Attachments ---------------- kitandsub007.jpg (33KB - 0 downloads) | ||

| RE: Install Pictures! Hmmmmmm......yeah, I read what you did a long time ago. Just another of the many reasons I need to meet up with you someday and take a look at your work. I may have to have you build me one of those.  | ||

| RE: Install Pictures! I don't know if I ever got around to this you-know-where, but here ya'll go-- A cheap Aiwa deck, 2x4.25 pioneer 2-way in the front, 2x5.5(?) pioneer 2-way in the rear(had to re-engineer the back dash, was 2 speakers from factory) and a thrift store subwoofer(5 dollars!) in a box I built to replace the first-aid kit in the rear window. Can any of ya'll help me to design a better one out of MDF? I want it to be shorter, this one sounds OK, but I am not fond of how large it is, I know it will sound better in a solid box with a port instead of the plexi crap I built  You may notice how fond I am of cheap shit heh heh (console.jpg) (rearshelf.jpg) (subwoofer.jpg) (sub.jpg) (box.jpg) (amp.jpg) (alldone.jpg) Attachments ---------------- console.jpg (53KB - 4 downloads) rearshelf.jpg (77KB - 1 downloads) subwoofer.jpg (19KB - 3 downloads) sub.jpg (57KB - 3 downloads) box.jpg (16KB - 2 downloads) amp.jpg (48KB - 3 downloads) alldone.jpg (71KB - 5 downloads) | ||

Where would you want to put the box? It wouldnt be that hard to think of a design for one. Tons of designs are all over the net! Did yiu know that Awia is made by Sony?  | |
