I recently upgraded from 2 RL-P's to an HD315. Very happy with that sub, so I purchased another Sundown to run them strapped and throw more power at it.

I fell into another HD for a killer price, and figured I'd buy it for the next vehicle and run 2 of them. But the one in my trunk suddenly looked so lonely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Here's what I started with inside. Not really pretty but functional and rattle free thanks to all the self tappers...

First I unscrewed the factory metal ring. What a PITA with the deadener on, but I wasn't to be denied. Cutting wheel and air nibbler on your best friend when doing this sort of thing...

Was much easier to fit the amps. Had to remove some of the raised supports on the trunk, but nothing major.
