Ok, a little update for me...

Well, I upgraded to a nice Infinity 450+ watt amp. Mounted it like so....

I just took a spare sheet of 3/4" MDF. Cut it to fit the space. Then just coutersunk some holes to match up with the little platic black hold downs that were in there. I shoulda taken some pics before I screwed down the amp. But basically all that's hold it in is those two black push down plugs.


And of course the sub is still mounted like it was before...

Thats...just....just *drools* can i marry it???

 

it reminds me of skiing in the alps. you should put that little gnome on skis and add a lodge at the top!

 

My new setup is coming along. Still need to bondo, sand, primer, paint, and then do the rest of the trunk in fiberglass with all the amps and all sunken in. Not sure if I am going to reverse mount the subs or flush mount them. Flush mounted I can still use the cover so no one can see in. Not to sure.

 

nothin crazy but here is my setup for now. i'll upgrade the sub and amp later.

 

12"MTX
7" Headrest Monitors
7" Motorized screen able to hook up dvd, ipod connection also

 

2 - 8" Memphis MClass MS84D subs in a modified bazooka enclosure
Orion 265 Cobalt amp
Factory head unit for now

I have the amp sitting where the styrofoam cubby used to be, I will post a picture of that when it is finished. Basically I am making a particle board box that gives me a little more breathing room for the amp.

 

Pushin 3 JL Audio W3 V2 D6, with 2 matchin Interfire Amps. Rocks like crazy but there went my trunck space. lol

 

pioneer head unit
2 kicker cvr's
kicker 400.1 monoblock amp
tsunami 1.2 farad cap
2 7'' monitors.oh yea they in my window

 

Finally finished everything up tonight. The amp rack didnt come out as clean as I would like, I had some issues with the carpet folds and overspray on adhesive, but its all good.

I put sprayed some sound deadening material on the inside and outside of the box, as well as put some sheet sound deadening material (1/2" thick) on the outside of the box. This really made the sub box a lot less "boomy" but made it a pain to get back in the car.

The best part is everything hides out of sight, and I still have a spare tire.

 

My new setup. It changes fairly often: ( i am going to finish prep, sand and paint the box this week)

 

^^ Scan Disk slot ^^


And my bump in the trunk...

 

Thats exactly the route i wanted to go...but between the JL products and the fiberglass box i could purchase another car....

Take some better pics...im sure those arent doing any justice...(and they even look good)

 

^^
oh papi...don't be so afraid to DIY. use those huge speakers you have now, and make the box yourself.

 

see...i would be totally down for that....but now i learned that speakers need cubic feet for air flow etc etc. and i still have to do my homework on how to figure that out.

one day when we meet up u could give me some first hand input. the double din is good though...1/3 of the price compared to the d1's.

 

sorry could not resist I just got my 19ov2 and nine.1 in from Elemental Designs and by god that thing is big and beautiful.
Who ever said that something can't be big and beautiful has never seen these sub.
Once my box comes in next week I will hope to have a couple of pics of it on here.
Sorry could not help myself I am so ecstatic about this sub it makes me want to tell everyone.

 

so for us TV people...is there a website that i could check out some nice rear view camera's....anyone know where i should be looking...

 

 

dang cxt I didn't get that excited however I did take out everything and inspect for damage and to just drool over it. It is BEAUTIFUL and my box from ED should be in midtime next week... first ED box for the 19ov2 in the tC. D@mn it feels so good to know we will be deaf in about a year
