It looks interesting, did you measure anything or did you just eagle eye it?

Just out of curiouslty, why would you mount the two side monitors at an angle like that? One would have to turn their head to view it. Makes no sense to me. Oh well

I like things in line and symmetrical so that would just drive me nuts but still it looks pretty good.

You should mount the PS2 in the trunk somewhere instead of under your seat. I have my xbox behind my passenger seat in my tC and I use to have to move it every time someone got in the back.. I finally just moved it in the trunk and ran the controllers so they come out of the glove box.

x a billion.

Looks good but I hate asymmetry.

Apparently this means I hate my dish I'm working on since a couple rings are a few mm off their counterpart on the otherside

the screen is centered (somewhat), its the subs that are not centered, look at the latch for the hatch

its not bad, but not my style either, i like a more curves in the trunk, not a flat surface covered in vinyl.

just looks like the flap on the right floor board wasnt taken into account when centering the subs. and I second the notion that the tilted screens would bug me.
good work tho, dont mean to break you down, my trunk has this awesome cargo mat, SWEET ... so I cant really say much :D

alignment is absolutely ____ed on that, but the material looks slick.

maybe align the monitors like (mind the dots)

[===]........[===]
.........[===]........

or

........[===]........
[===].......[===]

and have the subs align centered under the center monitor.

I don't speak from much (none) experience in fabbing enclosures and trunk setups or anything, but I do do a lot of designing in my line of work.

It looks so awkward the way you aligned those. Like..."wow" awkward. Like "buy a ruler" awkward. I'm not trying to knock you or anything...but damn.

i saw the problem before i posted up the pictures. this weekend im gonna redue the back piece but i dont think i would change the position of the tv's. i have never seen someone have this type of setup and im happy with that. i just plan on centering everything this weekend.
