this is on a piece of plywood on the back of my seat. the wires go through wood and behind seat carpet.

sub box is angled on the back to fit right up against the amps and is angled in the front to be parallel to closed hatch glass.


im gonna do it over again with a different setup that i am working on now as i mentioned before......think i'm gonna use fiberglass and matte the s$$$ out of it.

nah not a big deal. i think i'll use some of that black wire loom i got with it to cover up the red.... i'll figure out a way to hide my wires i thought i already did a pretty good job doing so w/o cutting anything (don't really want to cut it)

I was going to mount all the stuff on the back of my seat... BUT that makes folding my seat down completely useless. hence the removeability of my sub...

any suggestions as to were to put my cap? I was thinking about mounting it at an angle on that retangular bulge that comes out of the side of the car (above the lower right amp) what do you think? if i put it on the other side of the car (lower left) there would be too much wire to run. live wire in fact.

Hmmm... this doesnt sound right... where did you hear that from?

This thread is so aching for a move. arch iceman and will can put all the misnomers in their place in a hurry.

if i wanted to wreck my interior id cut a hole and slide the cap down in the sidewalls. though, the way my box is setup if i ever need to do taht im just going to drill a hole in the top and glass it in there.
