Default My quasi-stealth sub install

Well I finally got everything cleaned up, so here are some pics.

I installed the following:
Eclipse 4 channel 400 W RMS amp
Audioformz V1 enclosure
Memphis 10" sub
Infinity 5.25" rear speakers

I like that I now have plenty of room back there, no sub box in the way. I purchased the enclosure and sub from the PPC. The enclosure was already painted Hot Lava.

I mounted the amp above the spare tire with a custom CNC laser cut aluminum treadplate piece which is powdercoated black and follows the contours of the OE cover.

The sound is amazing. The bass is more than I need and the rear speakers fill out the sound in the rear, which was definitely lacking.

I still need to paint the enclosure and get a new grille, but here we are.

It's amazing. I love it. It'll shake the sideview mirrors, although I never crank it up that high... just tested it once. It's clear and hits very nicely. Highly recommended.

Oh, and on my HU I have a separate sub out with individual volume control and low-pass filter.

Looks nice. I'm thinking about getting the audioform box and amp tray.

John, I am sure that it is available here in the US, But my sister in law picked it up from manila, Philippines, and sent it to me. It is even raised up diamonds just like the real stuff.
