Finishing off the trunk setup, finally. (new pics added)

[Jordan]

how is the false panel attached?

Just that one 10mm bolt in the pictures. L bracket bolts up to the underside of the rear deck metal.

Easy to take off?

Just 1 bolt.

Do you have any final pics of the box without the false panel, and the rear deck?

Nope.

Holy fucking badass, Batman.

Jordan, you've really outdone yourself this time. I can't wait to get over there again and hear it.

[DanGillan]

that's a hot setup, good work, if i ever did a sub, i only hope it would come out that nicely :up:

[FrustratedMunky]

How do you know how to do all this hands-on work? All hands-on practice? I'd love to do all the work that you do, but I don't have the knowledge for it.

[Jordan]

I'm assuming you tore out the old rear deck and replaced it with a custom fabbed piece, right?

Yeah.

is it just for your own listening pleasure?

Yes.

[Brew]

Kick ass.

Planning on entering any SQ competitions or is it just for your own listening pleasure?

Only thing that I still want to do is replace the mounting screws on the amps. In the first picture you can see the silver screw heads shinning between the heatsink fins. I have some black ones I'm going to replace them with.

[Jordan]

The amps are mounted to the back face of the sub box.

The false panel mounts around the amps about 1.5 inches from the back face of the sub box. So yes the amps are definately recessed. They are like 2inches thick.

I made cardboard templates and cut them to fit the contour of the carpet. I would test fit, snip snip, test fit, snip some more etc until it fit pretty good.

I then transfered those templates with known measurements to the 1/4 hardboard and cut it all out. Adjustments were then made to the hardboard panel until it fit snug everywhere.

I then wrapped it in carpet with 3M Super 77 spray adheasive. Carpet was obtained from a local stereo shop. Standard issue trunk carpet, most places should have it.

Looks awesome.

It's hard to tell from the depth of the pics; are the amps recessed or are they mounted ontop of the false backpanel?

What was your method for forming the corners of the false panel to the sides of the carpet, and where did you get the carpet you used for the false panel?

[Jordan]

Jordan, where did you learn to do all these things? Because I would say that your car looks more professional than most professionally done cars.

I dunno. I just do shit, and it turns out good. Else I redo it.

It's always been that way.

However, I hate your car, I think it sucks, I think that the new stereo system sucks, who the fuck gets a single 10" sub? Get couple 12s at least, and 1500watts at least. Your system doesn't even have any plexiglass or neons.

I'm so jealous, you have pretty much everything that I want on my car.

:D

Ya i dunno what i sounds like now, but last weekend it sounded extremly clear and very very nice..... it made me so freakin jealous and thats only with front speakers no rears and a small sub in a very nicely made box. Jordan screw you and your damn nice car! 8)

Looks to be a very clean install (like the whole car :D ) and looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more pics in the light.

now that you have a clean-looking install you can get ahold of pbmw :o . the carpet looks just fine. i'm picky about things like you, but as far as those pics go I don't see anything wrong at all. nice work.

btw it's kind of hard to tell. how exactly did you mount those? are they flush or is there an angled recess (thats what it looks like to me)?
