Looks like yellow from here.

I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to make it a win-win with my own stereo install. my head unit went straight in,the splits in the front and rear doors were easy enough,the rears went straight in,the fronts needed some tricky brackets to mount the cross overs,and custom baffles to mount the mids,but weren't THAT hard.

what's got me stuffed is how am I going to get the rest into the car without permanently losing boot space or the spare wheel? I'm constantly moving large items in the back of my car,so it must retain pretty much the full volume in the rear.

I need to get two smallish amps,a 6 stacker,and a boxed 12" subwoofer into it somewhere.

there's a bit of room behind the N/SR quarter trim which will take a decently sized amp if you are patient with bracketry. that takes care of one.

the sub I'll have to make removeable,and will likely place it in a similar fashion to the above design. that's two.

anyone have any ideas for the stacker and other amp? they won't fit under the seats. I've yet to investigate what's behind the O/SR quarter trim other than the ATTESSA reservoir. I'm hoping I can squeeze the stacker in that corner,or possibly the amp. I MIGHT be able to fit the stacker in hanging on the under-side of the spare wheel cover,but I'm not sure if that will be rigid enough for it to not skip.

any ideas guys? what have you put into your cars so far?

fergo, the stacker i want to use will fit under the drivers seat but it won't go under the passenger seat. if you are looking for other places have a look under the floor next to the space saver, you may be able to squeeze something in there. alternatively remove the spacesaver and buy a can of tyre goop.

EGA the sub boxes are small vol enclosures(well spotted) with subs that are suited for very small enclosures, they work well with volumes down to 15L (although i'm not sure what vol these are at this point). the aim was to lose nothing behind the strut towers to keep as much of that space as possible.

we would probably never have laid the seats down but we need the larger opening that the rear door offers.

i have open air subs in my car, so my sub box doesn't have a back on it. when my gallery is back up i'll show you my pics, but my box can be unplugged relatively easily and just slides out when i need the boot space.

that sub box is a very neat install... not much volume to it but looks awesome

The enclosure gives 18.3 litres for each subwoofer. Based on the Thiele / Small's of the 27V2's this will return a Q of about 0.69. That will offer tight bass with a deep natural roll off but will still boom just enough to deal with the large interior of the wagon. :cheers:

My idea for a sub is to put a single 10" or 12" in a longish box along the driver's side between the strut tower and the tailgate.

I'm hoping to figure out a way to hinge it so I can stil get to the ATESSA reservoir and the small compartment next to it, and loading of the sub will be against the strut tower - the box will be angle-cut to kind of match the shape of the strut tower and face the sub towards it. It might be better to face the sub rearwards and load it against the tailgate, but I'm going for a stealth system, and having the sub showing every time you open the boot kinda defeats the purpose...

Hopefully I won't lose too much boot space this way, and I'll still be able to fold the seats down and use the length available.

My only issue now is money - I've got the front splits and they are ready to go in, but I'm kinda waiting to at least buy the rears as well and before I start the install...

Thanks for the advice Wolverine,I'll check out the space under the driver's seat. hopefully it's a little bigger in there than under the passenger side,which was too short by all of 5mm...

I've thought about dumping the micro-spare,but with the numerous punctures i've been getting over the last few months,I doubt I could live without one.

I would love to build the sub into the boot floor using the spare's cavity,but it just isn't practical,and anything I could fit in on top of the wheel is too small for a ZR12 woofer. it'll have to go into a removeable box.

what sized amps are you guys running,and where/how did you get them into the car?

IF?????? you want to get rid of the spare, why not mount it outside a'la 4WD

Think of the messarges you could put on the wheelcover. I'm pretty computer illiterate but I know some of you guys are good at artistic endevours.

Lets see some lateral thinking.

just a thort y not mount the amps and stacker in the sub box if you need to remove it just unplug and take out may need some fancy switching to set up speakers to run without the amp but im sure it could be worked out

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
