I'm curious as to how the sound reaches the cabin. I also question the amplifier mounting position. Why not lay it flat or bring it up flush with the paneling? I just personally dont like the visual appeal of the angle. Other than that everything looks great!

well..right where the fuse holder is there is a a port in the back deck for the cabin...and i will be redoing the back deck to postion the speakers in a different way and make a bigger port back there....and the reason why i mounted the amp that was is cause from the side i will be able to adjust the controls on the amp easy!!! and if i layed the amp down flat it would be very tight and it would hang off the bottom board... and i do not want it flush i like the way it is now...i will be adding some leds soon to light the amp up...thanks

oh yeah and the other reason is because it is different...

Subs up port front tight squeeze but hits low.also I cut the armrest out to get a little more are and ported about 14x4 on rear deck. ill put some pics up in next couple days. The box is still raw.
