Amp in the cabrio

amp rack fits against wall, of course, my trunk doesn't look as messy anymore, it really cleaned up well. even with the amps against the wall, and running it for six hours at the track 105 degrees, no overheating problems at all.

my sub fires upward, great bump especially when the top is up.

Do you have another "fully completed" picture? How exactly did you make and mount the amp rack? And how many feet of 4awg and 8awg (I presume) wire did you use?
Thanks.

here's my set up, 3 amps, 1 x 1.4 cap, no brackets require.
did jam a piece of plywood back there. 11" x something as area is not flatish.

plenty of room to remove spare tire and almost no useful space taken.

Amp on right side burned and took out 1 woofer, hence wires are expose.

2 x 12' behind rear seat, used wooden spacers to fill in gap. it was already cut for 10's so don't flame me.

by the way, if you're really into the custom look,
i fitted two 15" back there, full wooden enclosure type on top of seats,
picture a windbraker when flap is down, perfect fit but no rear sitting.
very Matchbox like.

Frank, does your back seat fit?

Getting closer to my L.A. trip & my Carneys fix! Man I can't wait!!!

Stefan,
yeap, it fits, removed some of the foam material with a box cutter, no problems.
Also removed some of the metal framing, seat still in good form.

come up soon, I'm due for a trip to a good deli :)

it rained last night and forgot to put the hard top on, so removed all seats today and hosed them down, darn tree sap.

My Mom told me it was raining this morning. That sucks, sorry. I'll be there about 1 month from today! Been almost two years (May) I miss home.

fporro,

so even if the backseat is in the car, you can't sit in the back?

That setup is really inspiring, I want my sub firing into the cabin!

No No !!
i meant when i fitted this 2 large wooden enclosures containing
this 15's then there was no room.,
the 2 big speakers and box on 2nd picture.

everything is stealth and rear area 100% operational while runing
current 12" setup. as on this pic, the 5 1/4 are not visible iether
unless with camera flash.

Ah okay, thanks!

you hosed down the seats? couldn't you just use some leather cleaner?

hahaha.....

[fporro]

hahahha, nope, hose 'em dowm. hose the whole car down. hahahah.

poor thing needs a paint job real bad.

I don't know sh** about this, but it seems like that sub-in-backseat plan would work better than a sub-in-trunk setup, because you wouldn't just be blowing into a sealed metal box, but actually into the cabin. I'm looking to put a 10" sub somewhere in my cabby, how difficult is that compared to a trunk setup?
