[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7574072, member: 541144"] Subs will be CDT 6X9's in the rear deck. I figured that a Boston Acoustics 70X4 would be adequate for that plus the front stage. First the amp rack: I have a spot in the trunk that I can fit a rack into without taking up much space. Bottom will be screwed to the floor, the front panel will drop on hinges for access. 3/4" plywood: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6215/6337680978_3c9917c362_z.jpg[/IMG] Painted and carpeted: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6045/6336927889_29e5e89583_z.jpg[/IMG] Parts mounted: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6050/6337681850_20a4332962_z.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6097/6337681254_628b993b88_z.jpg[/IMG] In place in the trunk: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6110/6352661953_e2bbb56f40_z.jpg[/IMG] It buttons up nicely. Notice that I even added the knobs for attaching the trunk net. I had to run the power wire under the car. There's no way in hell to get a cable through the factory wiring channels inside. I'm running the front stage through a David Navone LOC which also has a remote output, so the only wire I had to run from the HU was the sub preout RCAs which I was able to hide under the carpet. Here's a sight that should be familiar to installers out there... [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6209/6136417134_885b8d9181_z.jpg[/IMG] The CDT 6X9 subs fit OK under the rear deck, but I had to drill new holes. No idea why all 6X9s aren't the same mouting - [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6117/6352661089_d06a7779ae_z.jpg[/IMG] Like an idiot I neglected to RAAMat the plastic rear deck while I had it out of the car. The damm thing buzzes terribly. I think the 6X9s will go away in favor of a sealed sub box soon, but they suffice for now. The status at this point was as of October 2011.
