I've got a custom box with 2 x 10" subs and an amp in the boot of my car. fits nicely behind my cargo net and under the luggage cover.

[-FUZZY-]

all my speakers are mounted behind the doors in their factory spots, except for the tweeter which is flush mounted further up the door.

Front Doors have Dynamat in them to make them a bit more solid.

Amp is located behind the rear passenger seat as its the only place big enough to be able to mount it.

Note for all: 0 guage wiring is a head f*k to get through the firewall!!

This is my sub box i built from scratch.

i cover it with my cargo barrier now that i have it, but i built it before i got them

I can't get the hosted images into the post for some reason, the link isn't showing in the gallery

welcome mate

my stereo install was going ahead when i bought the car 12 months ago but ive had that many dramas ive left it as it aint important, currently just have 2 x 10' subs in a box with 2 alpine v12 amps mounted onto the box, and thats about it.

plan is to make a full rear setup with fake panels and some fancy lighting etc

[Chris Rogers]

if you need the rear useable I would suggest a false floor and a sub in the wheel well. Invert the tyre and you should be able to make the box removeable so you can keep the tyre in place. how good are you with wood work?

cablling IS NOT a problem in these. remove the drivers inner guard and there is a decent sized grommet there. (same as a 34 ,33 and 32.)

I'll be putting a stealth system in mine, and the only obvious part will hopefully be just the screen/dvd head unit. Speakers will go in the factory locations, but I noticed that when I removed the covers for the (factory) tweeters in the A-pillar, that there wasn't very much room behind it. Hopefully this won't be a problem...

I will be putting a sub in but hopefully working with the installer on a design that doesn't make it obvious that there is a sub sitting there in the boot, for those times when the boot is opened and/or the luggage cover is rolled back or removed. Might try and make it so that it fires inwards towards the rear strut tower well at an angle to give it some loading...

im pretty good with making up custom installs i made a custom setup in my old car which pulled 147dB and will be using all that gear in the stagea. currently the install is stealth with splits in the front and rear doors.

you shouldn't have a problem mounting new splits in the front a pillar i pulled the a pillar cover out and fibreglassed them up from the inside so i could remount them using the kenwood covers so they could still remain flush mounted.

Is that your Stagea in your avatar?

I'm looking at putting 2 * 12" Subs in the back with an 800w Monoblock amp - amp will be mounted in that compartment on the side...sk's idea Easily removable for when I need the space Up front will be Pioneeer Kevlar Splits and coaxial in the back...Should be sweet

Cheers,

Chris

I'll be doing the same, splits in the front and co-axials in the back, but I'm not sure if I'll use a 10" or a 12" sub. If I can get away with a 10", then that's the way I'll go...

I think I'd like to set up the sub box on one side of the boot, not along the back seats like Terminal's ones. Time (and money) will tell what path I eventually take, though.

[Terminal]

I was lucky, i only paid $100 for the subs, got the amp for free (worth $900) and built the box myself (about $50 mdf + $30 carpet).

How the hell did you score that!

Check out this thread...

Ok, I found on Nissan Silvia, a pair of Pioneer 250w Kevlar splits for $279 - is that a good buy? Splits

Most probably getting this headunit Headunit

Getting a very good deal of a mate of mine 50 Watts x 4

Probably just one of these....Im poor 1000w Sub

One of these amps.....not new though Another good deal 600 Watts x 1@ 4 ohm load 1,000 Watts x 1 @ 2 ohm loadAmp

I havnt figured out anything for the rear yet.....bugger it. My question is, do I have to run the splits of an amp? Alot of my mates dont, just wondering whether it is really worth doing?

Cheers,

Chris

[AMS]

Oh...my current setup

[Terminal]

Yeah those kevlar splits are exactly what i have. $279 is an awesome price for them too.

My mate had the amp for about a year and wasn't using it, so he threw it my way and said happy birthday (it wasn't my birthday) and so i socred a 5 channel V12 amp

So the splits worth buying Leshy? They sound tops?
